Management

The self storage industry is a niche within the real estate industry that is retail in nature and more management intensive than it looks. Having a property that is priced right and hits the ground running every day is essential. Generating a couple of additional rentals per month more than makes up the cost you pay for focused, industry specific, professional management. Having the systems in place and the hard-nosed discipline to meet the expectations will also ensure your expenses are kept to a minimum, and operating income is maximized.

Services are now available for select properties.  For the greater of $1,500 or 5% of gross revenues per month, you can improve the returns and the safety of your self storage investment by joining the team that has been producing self storage success since 1986.

Getting Started - Site Review & Market Study

In taking responsibility for the success of a new property, we begin by taking an assessment of what is.  We have the experience and perspective built into our start-up process that will help you discover the pitfalls inherent in the asset and within your current operation, and quantify the solutions. As well, we can help you appreciate and capitalize on the opportunities that the market and your site may provide.  There are many business points that are applicable to all self storage stores, but as there is little brand name recognition in the industry, more than most retail operations; self storage is a local business. As such, there are several factors that must be reviewed and considered at the beginning.

The Competition

An assessment of the quantity and quality of the self storage competition in your trade area, and their impact on the supply & demand in your trade area.

Demographics

Not just the numbers, but what the surrounding population, households, income levels, household mobility, employers, businesses, public entities, traffic counts, etc. mean to your business expectations and how best to market your products.

Budget

Review your current budget and operating expectations, and recommend changes based on our review. Each year, thereafter, we will provide an operating and capital expenditure budget for your approval.
