@Jd Martin I'm under the impression that you need an EIN or a business to create a DBA.

We toured their facility & having done a lot of rehab etc I was impressed with the construction & designs.At the time we visited they were building components for a commercial with high end units above a store front strip that was very well done.

Even if they aren't qualified, it gives the impression you have a desirable place and those that are qualified will see it and hopefully jump on it.

UNDER $1M IS TOO SMALLI talked to a few commercial brokers, and I am under the impression that it's very hard to find anything valuable in self-storage for under $1 million.

My first impression of Renters Warehouse was that I didn't need them.  

Columbus has seen impressive growth in appreciation and job opportunities, with around 80 people moving there every week.

High touch" and customer service from an "impression" standpoint might suffer but all else could work very well.Automated showings is easy nowadays.Automated maintenance and scheduling is fairly easy nowadays also as long as you have a solid vendor list.Also, have to "teach" the tenant from day 1 on "How to" use and do all of these things so on-boarding instructional manuals are vital.Just my opinion but I'm seeing the world of PM go heavily in the virtual direction.Well, at least the smart companies are doing it.Less overheads and a heavy reliance on tech and automation.Unfortunately, tech has let me down much less than people have over the years...I had an in depth talk with our team and we pretty much only need an office to hold keys lolEvery one can work from home with ease.Granted, they got use to the smell of my cigars in the office hahaIs smoking allowed in closed spaces?

We have been using Showmojo for over a year and a half and I have been impressed with the on-boarding service.  

The sales pace was impressive, with 91.1% of properties selling within 30 days in April 2022, while inventory dropped to just 0.7 months' supply.

If so, I have spoken to him on the phone a few times and was quite impressed.
