I have the opportunity to manage a self-storage facility. I would be managing it remotely as there isn’t an on-site office. I am not receiving any extra benefits like housing or anything like that.

I am curious about how the income for a storage manager looks like. Currently as a residential property manager, I make 10% of rental income however I don’t know if that is the structure with storage managers.

I would be dealing with the financials, taking calls, occasionally meeting people at a unit, doing overlocks, and being on call 24/7 for any possible issues. However it is obviously not as involved as residential property management. 

I know most storage managers that live on site take a salary. However in this case would a storage manager take a percentage of rental income? If so what percentage is standard?

Thanks

Thank you for your work. I will share. Thanks

We have a property that doesn't allow animals (owners request). We got an email from a tenant asking if she can have a dog. We reminded her about her lease and that this property has a no pet policy. She emailed us back stating that her neighbor has a dog and why can't she have a dog too and that we are being unfair. The other tenant has a verified ESA dog with a doctor's note. 

I don't want to tell her that the other tenant has an ESA dog and that is why it is allowed. For one, we can't discuss a tenant's disabilities/accommodations with other tenants. And two, I don't want to give her any ideas about getting an ESA dog. So many renters abuse this and have false paperwork.

So, my question is...How do I answer her question?
