Take advantage of the situation if you can. Lemons to Lemonade. Get an estimate on the Roof. Then make a lowball offer to buy from the owners.
Why do all of the work, if you don't reap the rewards. Basically your being asked to put Sweat Equity into the game without a payoff.

Dirt contractors have been offsite for about 3 weeks. This has helped since we had changes to get through the engineer. Got those resolved Thursday. He will send through City again for review.

Our neighbors do a roadside Lilly garden; Hillsdale Lilies. They have about 60 varieties they sale local and thru the mail. Did him a big favor and he gave me a $300 credit for lilies.

Why build storage? So you can own your own land and grow mango's. Our first mango in Belize. Not quite ripe yet. Caretakers sending up pictures. Still can't travel there.

If you do go with Sparefoot give me a shout out. They have 4 different sort methods: Recommended, Reviews, Distance, price.
We can get you to the top 4 in each category within two months. Obviously Distance would be just for your locale, since you can't change that ranking....Leave a comment:

@M, on your background it says the unit is in Reno, NV.
Looked out on Sparefoot, without knowing your Locations name, here is the info I see. It is better for you to check with Boots on the ground:

What is your town and facility name? I can do a market analysis and see if anything stands out. We operate in 4 locations for our older facilities. We run 95 to 98% full. We are currently at 70% full since we added 6 buildings at these locations and are in the rent up phase.

Project has slowed down a little. The dirt contractors had to pull off for a large job, they have a penalty clause based on Completion date. Also the owner who was working on our job, rolled a dirt scraper and got crushed by it. Waited to include in this stream until he became stabilized. He is...Leave a comment:
