The owner CHUNGFU CHEUNG is a fraud and will steal from you. 

The only time we will not make an offer site unseen is if we run into a situation where an owner or a realtor won't accept site unseen offers. 

While I have a fantastic rate, the co-owner's giving me the option to refinance or he'll force a sale.

The newest outdoor is still advertising 1st month free as they haven't filled up, and I spoke with the climate controlled owner/builder yesterday (he's a pretty big REI in the area), and he made it sound like he hadn't leased a single climate controlled unit since they opened a few weeks ago.I recently purchased a 140x45 warehouse with low ceilings and had debated doing self storage, but my market seems very saturated.

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

Ask to speak with some of their current owners and current/former tenants.

Was this a hack and owner occupied, for you?

The previous owners turned in into a single family home.

The owner didn't have to deal with any of it, as we offered to take care of it for her.

Top 3 reasons owners hire PMCs:1) No time to manage correctly2) No time to learn how to manage correcly: laws, documents, processes, etc.3) They're too nice and need someone to "save them from themselves"A good PMC can usually earn their fees by better managing the property/tenant than the owner, thereby:1) Increasing owners net profit2) Decreasing owner's time commitment, stress, headaches, etc.No matter what though, you should always plan to commit a couple of hours a month to manage your PMC.
