I am a real estate agent and investor in the Houston market.Katy, Cypress, Spring, some parts of Houston, Conroe, Tomball, Pearland are great markets.Rent growth and appreciation is steady.These cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.Get in touch with a local agent or investor and shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches as they tend to understand the market better.All the best!

If you have done a bunch of these and have the experience, you can command more of the equity in the deal.

I agree that detailed analysis is very important as there are numerous factors (such as local demand, the cost of county approval, land prep, gravel cost, labor, etc.) to consider in determining if the ROI is ultimately worth it - especially since in our market, RV/boat spots command lower rent/square foot than a storage unit.  

What does Evolve do to command the highest fee in the industry?

The more you provide, the more attractive your unit can be, and the more rent you will be able to command.

We provide all of them and command better rent.

My mortgage is $534/month, I rent out the house to two soldiers so I get a premium on rent by renting by room (plus I'm in touch with their HR department on base for quicker tenant placement, and if they act a fool I have direct contact with their Commanding Officer - I am 100% not afraid to be a tattle tale on them!).

Good ones can command a higher price.

They are commanding higher prices than before because people are paying those kind of prices. 

All may offer some of the same financial benefits (owner financing, etc...) and, depending on your own reserves, may allow you to create the premier facility in the area that commands premium rants and can really be a cash cow.
