Landscaping
Curious to see if any of the facility owners here pay a landscaping company, or add additional money to your BOG monthly wage? We have done both, and I find that it could be a good savings if you just add extra money for your boots- or include into the initial list of duties upon hiring.

Do you give your "boots on the ground" a free unit at your facility?
Question for current facility owners. Shane and I have never had a problem allowing our any of our BOG to have a free unit (depending on occupancy, of course). It gives them a different prospective utilizing the facility as a customer as well as an employee. Do any of you do this? If so, what issues have you experienced? Positive or Negative..

@Wes Eaves yes- I think having good communication mixed with accountability and random spot checks works. Setting clear goals while you are there, so that when you are not…there is no confusion on what you want done and how you want them to accomplish it. And always remember -show to hire, quick to fire.

@Keith Cantley sounds like a reasonable way to do it. This really helped when our facility was getting broken into. Our BOG was walking the lot with an extra purpose- wanting to see if fences were cut, locks were on the ground, latches damaged. She had an extra interest, not just as my employee- but as a tenant. She didn’t want anything to happen to her own items.

Would like to get feedback on auction websites. Are there any benefits to one over another one? I've only used StorageAuctions.com but wanted to see if anyone in the community has any insight. Not sure if it's better to try and find one that other storage owners in the area are using or if that matters much? Do you also post the auction on your social media (FB) pages?

You are very patient and nice. I have tried to do the same. Work with tenants and let them do payment plans- remove some of the fees so they can get caught up. Have them down size if the rent seems too much for them.

@Wes Eaves I think you might have something there. In the town we live in- I think you might get a bad reputation as people here are quick to throw their complaints on Facebook and let the whole town judge you lol. But, I have personally used storage treasures to buy auctions and put our units in auctions. They are easy to work with for both.

Intriguing Markets
Hey all, I'm starting to establish the foundation for my first facility purchase. Besides talking to people that may be interested in partnering, I'm beginning to research different markets to focus on specifically. I'm wondering what others look for when identifying favorable markets to begin their search, and if there are any in particular that interest you at the moment. While I work on prepping the capital stack, I'd like to establish the muscle memory of searching for deals and if a market is attractive enough, potentially reach out to brokers in the area. Would love to pick your brains, and any advice is appreciated!

@Andrew Darezzi it is great when brokers call you with a deal. Our biggest profit came from a deal that was from a broker. It also helps to build relationships in different areas. 🙂

@Andrew Darezzi good morning! We do have a facility in a military town now- it’s about two miles from a base. But I think whenever we look-we’re are very open to faculties that are close to bases and colleges.
