The reason I bring this distinction up is that we are a lot more flexible because we don't have the secondary markets dictating what they will buy, a business warehouse line that depends on certain boxes being checked (like minimum credit scores), and we are not brokering to hard money lenders so we really have zero control over the deal. 

If you are going to allow them to grow you must be prepared for temperatures in the property along with high humidity - which leads to the dreaded M word - MOLD.Don't do it!

We also have motion/vibration sensors, moisture/temperature sensors, light sensors, etc.

Attention Landlords and Property Managers In my neck of the woods, we are having record setting extreme cold temperature that seem to keep lingering on and on.

On most days during winter, the room temperature is only about 10 degree higher than outside temp if there is no heat turned on.

Furnaces would only go on the blink when temperatures were below zerow.

Have a SFH to rent out and the recommendations I received were MEB rental homes and Renter's warehouse, however, yelp and google have terrible reviews.

You may also want to consider buying many of the "dark" warehouses in your area to convert to Storage. 

The tenant can push buttons all day and it will do nothing if you choose to disable the keypad....Great post, but one point to clarify.All thermostats are sensing ambient temperature in some way, so all are vulnerable to tenant tactics that manipulate the ambient temperature in the vicinity of the thermostat; some of those tactics appear in my previous post on this thread.So the word "only" in the quoted post assumes that there is no such tampering going on.

Of Course I'm Biased, but I've owned hundreds of Houses, Hundreds of Apartments, Office buildings, parking lots, and large warehouses - and once I bought my 1st Self Storage facility, I sold everything else to build a massive empire of metal boxes on concrete slabs with no tenants, toilets, and trash - and it's the best move I have ever made (next to marrying my wife) In addition, here's a resource for more info:   www.SelfStorageinvesting.com - You'll find free videos and other resources to help you on your journey.
