@Katie DeskinsThanks Katie.My question was more about follow up things, after the initial contact has been made and the contact has crossed the threshold from being a "cold call" to someone that has "Opted In".

I cross reference them with my calendars to make sure they're right.

They should also have a 'set of books' or spreadsheet that can be used to cross reference.

We have plans to visit Lisbon in easter break. keeping fingers crossed/.

So I can't comment other than at some point soon I would love to explore the STR platform.

As a newbie to the self storage arena, I've been focusing on 50,000 sqft and under - some sort of value add (expansion, improved online platform, insurance, etc.) - priced under $1mm - drive up possibly with some parking - stable or growing population - limited chance of increased competition - good visibility - etc.

It is less than the annual cost, but law states you can’t profit on utility charges, which I don’t, and it’s close enough to neutral for me.It’s not worth my time to figure out RUBS or be a water municipality in addition to a REI, W2 employee, husband/father/family member and give back to community.Speaking strategically, you can choose your “issues” when you buy, and I don’t cross that bridge anymore.

Which mail marketing platforms are the most effective?

I definitely think my STR exists in another stratosphere relative to my overall experience on the platform as a guest.

Everyone seems to have a slightly different mechanism of calculating the splits, so I would reach out to them and see if they can walk you through the calculation.We use an investor management platform that calculates the splits (to the penny), keeps an audit trail, tracks accrued distributions (if you are doing development or heavy value add), etc.
