Your utilization will sky rocket and refinance especially in this climate may not happen.

@Michael Bier Generally, in colder climates time of year makes more of a difference than it does in temperate climates.

I would argue that the market is willing to pay more because of asymmetries, and among other things, premiums for certain qualitative geographical factors (Hawaii has a nicer climate than Cleveland Oh, for example)- not because a family in Cali is "more able to pay" than a family in Kentucky. 

I'm sure we can get this done even in this climate.

Yeah I found a wide range in adjustments for pools in the forums but naturally those coming from perpetually warm climates were factoring in a larger adjustment.

Since you have spent some time there you probably know this, but there are micro-climates to consider. 

Welcome Matthew, I am based in yonkers myself so am somewhat familiar with the ins/outs of the real estate climate here and the property management.

For all the self-storage investors out there,I'm new to self-storage, so forgive me if this is a simplistic set of questions, but...It seems that most of the research/data that I'm coming across regarding a self-storage investment outlook is focused on the next 1-2 years, and it seems to indicate a mostly positive investment climate.

I could be completely wrong and I'm a broker, but I don't think a bank is going to give you a HELOC to do construction in this climate.
