The facility is only a year old.

What are the other facilities like in the area?

Strangely however no one is talking about the systematic devastation and migration that could emerge in cities and small towns with single economies like Casinos, Theme Parks, Tourism Resorts, Oil belt and College Towns.

I see the shipyard, amazon shipping facility, and the new racetrack (if its ever built) being the key drivers to the growth.

It is however, a great cash flow business, if you don't get carried away with adding things people do not need or care about in a self storage facility.

We have a new amazon facility, large microchip manufacturing facility being built in Oneida county, and many other smaller businesses that are bringing hope to this area that was on the downslope for a long time     I am an investor in the area, I know many other investors in the Syracuse market, many of them are on this forum as well.

Regarding the hospitality industry, the growth in number of tourism arrivals is quite strong and source markets are diversifying.

I own 9 units and am buying a small mini storage facility.

Meaning if our facility could bring in $100 K in rents our aging receivables will be somewhere between $1000 and $3000 depending on how soon our next auction is. 

I think GA does require license to broker money.. maybe wrong.. license is not tough.. then you get your NMLS registration done.. and your good to go.most folks doing this will either have a wall st.. connection were the VC will put in say 50 to 100 million.. and take some control of your company or oversight..the other way is you do a PPM and raise the capital through private accredited investors.. then the third way is to get a credit facility at local banks and they will back fill your loans. ( this is what I did) this is for every 1 million you have in cash they will give you 4 million line of credit.. of course this takes having the cash and having some pretty significant experience and balance sheet.. we had in the day 30 million in credit lines.. through 4 banks.bigger players can get 20 to 50 million dollar lines from Credit sussie ext.
