I just bought a new location, fairly new facility in a good spot, but the previous owner was really lazy in how he ran the business. On closing day, I dropped by the facility and opened 7 doors that were unlocked and allegedly "moved out."
Of course, all 7 units were full of...

For 25 units, just go with Easy Storage Solutions software and manage it yourself. You'll save money on management fees and once you're full automated you'll only be working 2-3 hours per week on the property....Leave a comment:

Glad to hear you're safe!
While I didn't own storage there, I lost a home in Port Aransas, TX to Cat 4 Harvey in 2017. Here's an interesting aside from that storm:
A good friend owns 500 plus boat storage units on the island, and all but about 30 were a total loss. The photo...Leave a comment:

Hang in there DairyGirl, I went through a direct hit (vacation home) from Cat 4 Harvey in 2017 and I'll be sending good vibes your way.Leave a comment:

I finally went to an upfront $50 deposit. In my move-out instructions I remind them that they lose it all if I have to remove anything left behind. So far no one has balked on renting due to the deposit, and my units are left much cleaner....Leave a comment:

Re-building dividing walls
Good evening all:
I'm under contract to buy another drive-up facility in Central Texas where the current owner has taken down several dividing walls to make a large 6 unit open workshop for himself.
I'd like to divide that shop space back into 6 rentable units but, of course,... -

I'm also having trouble with Storage Treasures. Last 3 winning bidders have been no-shows.
