If you have a gate with a key pad and you are supposed to only have access with a paid up account and gate code: I would say: Controlled Gate Access.2. Do you have restricted gate access hours or is it 24/7 controlled access (meaning you have a gate ...

Edward, thanks for sharing. Many may disagree with Extra Space and how they manage their revenue but I’m certain they are doing everything legally. Their fee structure when payments are not made on time are surely stated clearly in the lease. The rates, their move in rate and subsequent “increases” are ...

Amber this is tough…contact TSSA Board member Edwin Roark as he does background / credit checks on his rv park customers to keep the riff raff out. He may have an easy and inexpensive system you could use. Outside of this, cameras to see who is coming and going from the property. Key pad access coming ...

Dawn, I’ve heard that outdoor parking for what you’re talking about is $2000/acre or in your case $500 for a quarter acre. If they want it secured, which many do, you could put up a chain link fence with a swing gate they can pad lock. Invest in the fence and charge $800/mo. When they leave it is ready ...

4-8% But it depends of course. Every facility is different. Today’s cap rate based on actuals might be 4.5% but the 2 year proforma might show 6.5%. This will have the buyer take a closer look to see if they feel your proforma is doable with your location and other market conditions. Talk to the brokers ...
