Too dependent on one unit size?
How much value do you give to Unit Mix? I'm looking at a facility that is 95% a particular size. Competitors do not have this same size. Occupancy for this size is 88%. There are only a couple of handfuls of other sizes and half of them are rented out. Should there be any concerns of being too dependent on that one size making up the unit mix?

@Tommy Xaysongkham Its worth considering, especially if you call all the competition for your market analysis and get info on that unit type and the competition has plenty of units to rent. the 88% if a positive sign.... I have a facility with 75% 10x20's and it operates just fine....but I am adding more smaller units to improve the unit mix. You may also be able to convert some of those (if they are larger) into smaller units as well

Opens up what you can store in there at that size - both, cars, etc. or market as small contractor storage garages. Glad you liked the session- it was fun
Intro
Hey guys! I just joined the group and wanted to throw a quick intro to myself. I currently own a few storage units and joined the group mainly to collaborate with others on ideas to become more profitable while better serving our customers. I am based in Newburgh IN. Looking forward to connecting! (Pic from bringing my family to see a building going up!)

Great to meet you, Alex Welcome to the group Click on the Calendar at the top of the screen inside the community and add the weekly power hour calls to your calendar - they are really good
No Power Hour Call Today
Hello StorageAce Fam - Quick heads up that there is no Power Hour call today - it's Spring Break for my family, so I'm taking a week off and recharging the batteries in Palm Springs. See you next Tuesday - same time, same place. Dave PS - I have an email coming later today on what 99% of people get wrong when they think about raising money for their deals. Be sure to check it out

📣 Power Hour Replays Are Live (Feb 17 + Feb 24)
I’ve uploaded the recordings for both recent Self Storage Power Hour calls. These two sessions pair really well together—one focused on mindset + staying in motion, the other on real-world operations once you own a deal. Here are the big takeaways (consolidated): - Progress isn’t linear—quiet weeks are part of the process, not a sign you’re off track - Confidence comes after action: underwriting, calls, follow-ups, and reps create clarity - Consistency > more information—momentum builds when you stay lightly engaged - Operations is about stacking small wins: clean up non-payers, improve occupancy, remove friction - Ownership is reps over results—focus on the next right move, not instant perfection This is what the middle looks like. Not flashy. Not broken. Just progress compounding quietly. 👊 👉 Watch both replays here: LINK

Ask Me Anything....
StorageAce fam - My goal in putting this group together was to build a community of people getting started in self-storage, and to offer them resources and support to build clarity and confidence to take the first step. Curious, what question is on your mind? How can I help you move forward? Feel free to post below (and I will respond to every message), or shoot me a DM.
