Basically I do not want to be out any money as a landlord switching out the tenants.There is cumulative versus non-cumulative and then controllable versus non-controllable expenses when it comes to CAM costs.

So I am familiar with rents versus values, etc. 

For example, if the property was purchased for all cash, the owner would save the interest rate on the loan...not a rate higher than that...and it does not change with the level of the down payment.Paying down a fixed rate 5.5% loan versus investing the funds in a 2.0% savings account would net 3.5% savings (and it would occur in a rising rate environment).

However, one of the more imperative items is to conduct a Market Supply Index to determine the level of Storage supply versus Demand. 

Sometimes it's ambiguous, but even then, why should I bother with the company that has numerous unresolved lawsuits, versus another company that is virtually the same but has none.

Make sure you're protected well with $500,000 (or $1M) liability on the properties, make sure they're Replacement Cost (versus "ACV" or depreciated value), make sure you've got some personal property (appliances, window coverings, etc.) coverage, I always add in some 'additional replacement cost' as well as inflation guard too. 

Properties built on one side built in 70’s versus built in the 90’s.I like to use dollar/square foot if I can find similar properties in style, age, bedrooms, bathrooms, square feet, basement, garage.  

Basically you front load the benefit so you can have more cash flow and return in the future and higher resale on income versus giving them a straight lower rent for getting the 10 year term.Get a commercial attorney to help negotiate options that you find favorable.

Don’t focus on the “revenue”... that was my costliest mistake... and if money is your goal... you need to think a little harder... money is only a tool to reach the TRUE GOAL.Buy a Quad or a Tri and rent out the units... your girlfriend/wife will appreciate the added privacy versus a single family renting out bedrooms... just my two cents...

It will be difficult if it is an investment property versus a primary residence that you are trying to cash out on.
