Hello,  I am looking to acquire a storage facility in Dallas and Houston.

include a list of rules and a list of charges that could affect the security deposit with $ amounts if they cause any.One rule I have is: the basement is not living space, it is for storage only.

Draft a quick addendum that says the rent for the property FOR STORAGE PURPOSES ONLY begins on (date they can start moving stuff in) and will be an extra $10, and this extra period is covered under the same terms and conditions as the primary lease except for cost and occupancy. 

One unit is advertised as storage so I assume only 3 are legal, either because of zoning or because of the Certificate of Occupancy.I checked the assessor web site to find the specific zoning for the building but it just says 2-6 apts, over 62 years, so I'm not sure whether 4 is legal or not. 

- commercial buildings- apartment complexes- senior living communities- self-storage facilities- rental portfolios- distillery’s- brewery’s- ..... and moreIf your broker/agent doesn’t know about these tremendous programs, I’d be happy help educate you further.  

I have already found a few properties that I could potentially be able to rent out extra storage/garage stalls/rentable living units.

I do not have experience in the restaurant business, there might be other factors involved, I could refer your matter to my commercial lender, he helped me with similar RE investments in the retail , RV and Mini Storage construction loans. 

@Tim Richter, seal the perimeter, Give the tenant metal storage boxes for food, sticky traps.

I guess then I have to deal with the storage of the furniture?

I would value it as a duplex with "climate controlled storage" and go from there.
