38-unit Storage Facility

[George Gao]

There is a 38-unit self storage facility listed on MLS with average rent of $60/unit; Built in 1998; located in Porter, TX, which is in Montgomery County (north of Houston). This is a mom-and-pop operation. The area is blue-collar and 3mi off a busy interstate. Annual expenses about $5-$6k. Asking $280k, implies a 10cap with 17% coc. Does this seem like a too small of a facility? Is there an average size for storage facility that's needed to run optimally?

38 units is very small but it is real estate that you could own so if you see potential to cash flow and have a good exit plan I would say it would be worth it. Is there room to expand or is there demand for more units? I look at and analyze everything.
