A couple of days ago he said he would retrieve it yesterday and still has not taken it.Please advise me of what I can do:  can i charge storage fee (how much/day)?

Offer accepted on my first deal (triplex) and inspection pending (WA State).During my initial walk-through, I met a couple who seemed to be more than knowledgeable about the property, possessed keys to storage areas (possibly other units too), had special parking spaces, and stated that they take care of the things around the place including the large yard in exchange for lower rent.

I invest in self storage due to the good returns and the nature of the business.Ultimately you may end up trying a few different avenues until you find the one that you like best!

@Robert Shelton I have a good friend and sometime business partner who owns a marine service and storage business in North Charleston. 

I will use the pad to park portable storage units to rent.

I was approached by a realtor/broker/developer to do a larger storage project. 

Hey everyone,I contacted the city and asked about the zoning of the building and they told me that the property is zoned for GB (General Business) and would allow for a multi-family dwelling that would permit 4 or 5 units! 

He does a lot of work for me and is currently using my basement for storage in return for work around the house.Is this a good idea to go through with renting the apartment to him?

It's an entire house, a full basmenet for storage, a yard and a garage.
