Property value isn’t declining and it’s not hurting me. 

From 2008 to 2012, the major publicly traded self-storage companies - CubeSmart, Public Storage, Extra Space Storage, and Life Storage - saw a brief share price decline in 2008 before soaring the following three years.

I still get calls and texts from old customers begging me to open back up which I politely decline and remind them I'm available for their RE needs.  

Feel free to reach out.This is bit wrongnationwide self storage demand is declining but there are few good spots when supply for SS is limited  

Declining population for the last 20 years or so, if I remember right.

They declined my offer anyway so on to the next one.

I didn't account for any increases in sales prices as that's never a good assumption, but I also didn't account for any decrease, as this neighborhood has not been affected very much by price declines over the wider metro area in the past 1.5 years and we have mostly leveled off. 

However, if you want access to CAR (California Association of Realtors) forms you have to either pay dues and become a member of CAR/NAR, in which case you get the CAR forms for free, or, you can decline membership in CAR/NAR and pay a subscription fee to get CAR form access that is about the same cost or more than the membership dues.Brian, is that your experience as well?

2- is it possible that the rental market is stagnant or even declining (like New York City right now)?

Meaning that if property values decline, and rents decline, that I can still service the debt.
