@GenZMultifamily Tank your credit while the CC’s are maxed out and might not be able to close the loan if there is a delay causing them being maxed to show up on your credit report or you might just end up with a 10% interest rate
@rob_dubroc That's interesting. What's your average length of stay? For the ones under a year, if the average stay is around nine months, I'm wondering whether the rate increase actually pushed them out, or if they would have moved out anyway.
@Storage_Venture What’s the benefit? Are you doing it for additional cash flow or forcing tenants to protect themselves to try avoid headaches of uninsured problems. I struggle with forcing it. If cash flow easier to increase rent and keep 100%. I say optional and their problem if uninsured
@Storage_Venture What did you do? Hire someone full-time for phones or boots on the ground? We have 16 locations 1150 units and we’re doing it all. At the point where we need to sit back and coast and gradually grow or higher.
Just closed on our new facility. 81 units and a duplex.
Very mismanaged. 32 paying customers and 40 delinquent most haven’t paid in over two years.
Going to be a lot of work, but tons of upside
@theficouple How many animals do you have instead of do you have any pets? How many years do you see yourself staying here? Do you currently have first months rent and security deposit available?
@Arveezy09@JimKittridge Our average facility size is 70 units. These are easy to plug-in play. Add four or eight units at one spot another 4 or 8 at another. Easy to expand multiple sites at once.
More portables going in!
Up to 35 buildings 140 units in portables.
Who has more portable units?
Only expanding with portables from now on. Tax deductions all day.
@JimKittridge Pros and cons to it of course. 100% write off year one really makes up for anything in my mind. According to Janus rep more and more appraisers are appraising them the same as standard buildings. My lender said he didn’t care between the two. Insides are nicer than some standard
@Storage_Venture Yes. Went a couple years ago and booked for this June. They do a great job. Also check out Sitka Jet ski rental, you can jet ski the inner costal area around Sitka, great time
