It often takes new organizations similarly long times to get that sort of information.

Tho, when one really stands out from a typical local norm at a given time in that market, it may help me to gauge the overall truthiness of the seller/syndicator when it comes to their other claims.

It is just like law firms from NYC have a full team vs local independent lawyers have a one-man army or a very small team.

You’d need to check the local laws to see what counts.Tenant Violations: If they’re breaking lease terms—like not paying rent or subletting—you might have grounds to evict.

Going to start by checking into local REÍ meetups and talking to some friends and family that are doing what I’d like to.

Stay on top of things, stay organized, and track every important date, from due diligence to contract extensions.Early on, I got myself into some pretty stressful situations.

Nevertheless I am local now and I have that real estate desire (which never went away).

My vision is for this meetup to be informal and organic.

@Luke Spencer I am not on the management side but I can tell you it took 2+ years to fill 300 units at one of our facilities and the other just hit 300 units in 12/13 months so it really depends on the demographics, and local housing market trend, the more people moving in and out the higher the demand for storage.I think if you're looking at a saturated market then the upfront cash to turn the warehouse into self storage is not a good idea but then again, maybe those operators are on back roads ( low visibility ) and don't push google ads well.

We're going to start attending local meet-ups again and stay active.
