Why Investors Should Consider Joining the Self-Storage Boom

Insightful article… 
 
If you’ve been looking for your next great business venture, self-storage is among the soundest real estate investments. Discover some of its advantages and why to consider entering the industry.

Laura Gattis | Jul 19, 2019

If you’ve been looking for your next great business venture, chances are you’ve heard about self-storage. In the last few years, major media outlets have covered the growth of the industry, including “Forbes,” “The New York Times,” the “San Francisco Chronicle” and many others.

According to Bloomberg, the number of available storage units on the market more than doubled from 1998 to 2012. Business-media website Bold Business reports the industry comprises more than 2.3 billion rentable square feet, growing 7 percent annually. This $38 billion business shows no sign of slowing, but that isn’t the only reason it’s a prime investment opportunity.

Profit Potential

Every market has its idiosyncrasies and revenue drivers. Generally, a storage facility with 40,000 rentable square feet in a market bearing monthly rental income of $9 per square foot will generate $450,000 in gross annual rent at 100 percent occupancy, according to The Parham Group (TPG), which specializes in self-storage consulting, construction,development and management. A 29.6 percent return on investment is a standard profit margin in the industry, company officials say.

In self-storage, income is primarily derived from the rental of space, but add-on products and services can also yield healthy profit. Many facility operators sell locks, moving and packing supplies, and other retail merchandise. Additional profit centers include truck rentals, outdoor vehicle storage, records storage, wine storage, pack and ship services, and others. Additional ways to incrementally increase revenue include charging late fees and offering tenant insurance or a tenant-protection plan, on which the storage operator earns a commission.

Of course, the best way to operate a stable business is to have great tenants who pay rent on time, but TPG estimates that add-on income streams such as retail sales can add another 5 percent to facility revenue. That may not sound like a lot, but that’s supplemental income that typically doesn’t require a lot of heavy lifting.

Ease of Operation

Many small businesses require years of constant hard work to stabilize and maintain efficiency. While operating a self-storage facility isn’t always easy, modern advancements can make it a relatively painless and even remote process. By leveraging a call center, online rental tools, automatic gates, smart devices and other technology, storage operations can function with little overhead and few employees. Setting up a fully automated facility takes some initial investment, but the long-term convenience and revenue opportunities are plentiful.

Investment Options

Those looking to profit from self-storage without having to own or manage a facility themselves can consider hiring a third-party management firm to oversee day-to-day operation. To be even further removed, consider investing in an industry real estate investment trust or becoming an angel investor to an existing operation. Hands-off investment can be a great way to get your feet wet before diving in headfirst with your own business.

Entering the self-storage industry isn’t a quick process. Begin by deciding how involved you want to be. If you prefer to invest in someone else’s company, do research to find one you trust. If you want to operate a facility of your own, explore the many industry vendors who can help you along your journey. Investigate applicable land issues, zoning laws and business licenses.

There are no guarantees that your business will be successful; however, a self-storage facility is widely considered to be one of the safest real estate investments you can make. It might just be worth taking a chance to be part of this $38 billion and growing industry!

Is the housing market recession proof ?

by Leave a Comment

Two cranes swing overhead at an apartment building construction site.

 

A bevy of negative news this week has once again stoked fear that an economic downturn is imminent.

Yesterday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had its worst day of the year with an 800-point dive. Then, news broke that the bond yield curve has inverted, a sign that the market believes investing in the short-term is more risky than investing in the long-term, which economists have identified as a consistent signifier of a future recession. With trade war tension already a front page story, is the market headed for a recession, and if so, how will that impact real estate markets?

There’s been a widespread feeling that the decade-long economic expansion has been due for a correction, and homebuyers have felt nervous about the future. A Realtor.com survey released last month found consumer confidence fell 4.4 percent over the past year, which the author felt could reflect consumer concerns over a potential recession or future economic growth.

But, as Curbed’s Jeff Andrews found earlier this year, recessions don’t always impact housing with the same force as the job market or other sectors of the economy. According to ATTOM Data Solutions, a leading real estate data provider, only twice in the last five recessions—in 1990 and 2008—did home prices come down. In 1990, prices decreased by less than a percent. During the other three, prices actually went up.

Housing market fundamentals remain strong

Javier Vivas, director of economic research at Realtor.com, says that the inverted yield curve is often a red flag for economic trouble, and that right now, it definitely signals a loss of economic momentum. But he doesn’t believe the housing market is in nearly as much trouble as it was during the last recession.

“The short term impact to housing is less likely to be as reactive,” he says. “The impact of the last recession is fresh in our minds and can have a play in home buyer psychology. But barring weak fundamentals, housing tends to perform fairly well during recessions. Over-construction is largely what got us into trouble last recession, and we’ve experienced just the opposite since then.”

As Andrews pointed out, the last recession was specifically caused by chaos in the housing market. Mortgage lending standards had eroded to the point that mortgage bonds—spread throughout the global financial system—were ticking time bombs. When the bombs went off, homeowners defaulted and the housing market went into free fall. Today, mortgage lending is considerably more strict, and the housing market is on much stronger ground.

Vivas says lower mortgage rates are giving a “second wind” to homebuyers this summer. He still expects the continued lack of inventory in major markets, not the stock market, to be the real force holding back home sales.

A market with low supply and high demand

Right now, a recession would need to make a significant dent in either housing supply or demand to move prices. That’s difficult to do at a time of unusually low unemployment, as well as undersupply in so many housing markets, especially pricey coastal metros.

Just last month, Realtor.com predicted the resurgence of national inventory declines, which in just a few months would lead buyers to see a drop in the number of homes for sale that could “lead to the return of bidding wars, stronger price appreciation, and quicker home sales.”

According the National Association of Realtors Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun, the Federal Reserve will be forced to cut interest rates from what he calls “a policy mistake of trade war rhetoric.” Slowing global trade has cascading effects: Businesses, which are financially healthy, are unwilling to spend on expansion, and investors are unhappy at the prospect of slowing global commerce, hence a stock market selloff. When imports and exports fall, Yun says, America goes into a recession with job cuts. But he does see some potential benefits for the housing sector.

“Low interest rates are unlikely to lift business investment in such a cloudy environment,” he says. “But the housing sector though could get a boost from favorable mortgage rates.”

Yun believes that there’s still time to get the economy back on track, with solid GDP expansion and job creation.

“Make it clear the federal government will allow businesses to pursue ways that is most efficient and convenient, including foreign transactions,” he says. “Such conditions will boost economic outlook and get the bond yield curve away from inversion.”

What this means for the moving industry

Our industry relies heavily on the real estate industry. So this is welcome news to know that we may face some downturn but the real estate industry is much more stable this time as it was very chaotic with unsavory lending practices.

Moving across Country?

15 Tips For Moving Across Country (The Serious Checklist)

 

The best way to move across country

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let’s get one thing straight: moving across country often proves to be the toughest type of residential moving, challenged only by complicated cases of international relocation.

To move to a new residence that is located hundreds or thousands of miles away is definitely not something you can joke about – the mere thought that so many things could go wrong during that intensely transitional period is enough to send you into a state of panic.

This is exactly why we’ve created this seriously important moving across country checklist so that you can take your long distance move seriously.

What would you be willing to give to have a fairly simple, straightforward, and affordable cross country move? 7 minutes of your time would be enough.

Read the next 15 tips for moving across country in order to better understand the challenges you’ll soon be facing with your decision to move to another part of the country.

Stage One: Important tips for moving across country

Getting ready to move across country requires impeccable organization on your part – know what things to do before you move across the country in order to take full advantage of the weeks, days and hours you have until your moving date and keep the stress level to its minimum while keeping the efficiency as high as possible.

#1. Moving checklist

Regardless of the move distance between the two homes (neighboring state or coast to coast), the one thing that will remain unchanged is the myriad of tasks that are waiting for you and you alone. The number of those jobs can be so overwhelming that you may quickly find yourself confused about where to begin. Moreover, the exact order of completing those pre-move chores is very important for keeping you in complete control of the remaining time.

Don’t waste time you can’t afford to lose – set up a day-by-day/week-by-week moving checklist for yourself and populate with it personalized and prioritized move-related jobs.

#2. Cross country movers

Deciding to move across country is a guarantee that you won’t lose valuable time resolving the ever-present dilemma: self-moving or professional movers? Because of the jaw-dropping distances of moving coast to coast, for example: New York, NY – Los Angeles, CA (2800 miles), Miami, FL – Seattle, WA (3300 miles), the only way you can have a normal household move without problems of any sort is to hire one of the top-rated cross country movers out there.

There’s a good reason why self-moving is only suited for local moves – factor in the forgotten costs of moving by yourself and things will suddenly become clearer than ever.

#3. Compare movers

What's the easiest way to move across country?

Don’t skip the step of comparing top-rated cross country movers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It won’t be long before you realize that moving across country by yourself is a bad idea due to the great distance and the increased costs and risks that the extra mileage will introduce. Faced with a fairly complicated long distance move, your best option is to contact an experienced cross country moving company and hire their quality services. Okay, a professional moving company – check. But which one?

The thing is that you won’t really know which long distance mover is right for you until you do a comparison analysis of a few relocation service providers in your area. Basically, it comes down to making an informed decision after exploring your available options as far as price and additional services go.

#4. Price calculation

It’s hardly a surprising statement that the cost to move across country is almost always higher than the cost of moving locally. The real question is just how much higher, right?

Having your moving price calculated long before Moving day is something you just must do as it will introduce more clarity into your family budget and will hopefully ease your mind too.

Ask a few reputable cross country moving companies for price estimation. Do not settle for online or phone estimates because they can never be as accurate as you need them to be. Instead, request in-home consultations from moving company experts for much more realistic prices in the quotes.

#5. Home inventory

Do you know exactly what items you’ll be taking with you to your new place? The most cost effective way to move across country is to simply leave all household items behind and literally take just a handful of valuable personal belongings. Tempting, right? Not really because such long distance moving scenario sounds more than science fiction than reality.

Complete a home inventory so that you do know what items you’re really moving to the new house or apartment. As you’re going from room to room with a trusted notepad or an electronic gadget in your hands, remember to decide the fate of each possession of yours – Keep, Sell, Gift, Donate, or Recycle?

#6. Moving furniture across country

Most furniture pieces are big and heavy, and therefore you should focus on resolving the dilemma of whether it’s better to pay to have your furniture moved to another home or not. In some cases purchasing new pieces of furniture upon arrival proves to be more cost-effective than paying professionals to pack, load, transport, and unpack the pieces that you own right now.

It’s a tough call, no doubt, but unless you have priceless antique furniture that you can’t even think about leaving behind, doing the math often favors moving as few furniture pieces as you possibly can. What’s the cheapest way to move furniture cross country? Find it here.

#7. Moving across country with children

No matter the reasons to move across country, expect much more worries and difficulties when you’re embarking on that moving journey with kids. The added responsibilities will only make the tough relocation even harder for you so it’s important to think ahead and get ready for the challenges as they come one after the other.

Consult our Moving with Kids Guide to keep the stress levels from escalating. In it, you will find detailed information about what to expect from and how to prepare your baby, toddler, pre-schooler, school-age kid, or teenager to have a smooth transition not only between the two homes but between the two worlds as well.

#8. Moving across country with pets

Moving across the country with pets? Enjoy the calm before the storm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moving with pets across the country will keep your hands rather full as well. Non-surprisingly, pets have their own needs, so you are advised to find time to tend to those special needs in order to keep your animal friend safe and calm before, during and after a house move of such magnitude. Whether you’re moving with a loyal dog, a graceful cat, or an exotic pet, you can be sure that it won’t be long before they sense that something big is about to happen soon.

Remember that even the best cross country movers are not allowed to transport pets, so you’re in charge of finding the best way to transport your pet to another state. Make sure that they are healthy before the trip (a pre-move visit to the vet is a must) and that their routine remains as unchanged as possible under the circumstances.

#9. Driving or flying?

Your long distance mover will be charged with the task of protecting and transporting your possession from Point A to Point B, but what about you and the people you are moving with? How do you plan to reach the new address?

Moving across country in your car is the most common way to reach the destination of a long distance move. And if that’s your plan too, then remember to have your transportation vehicle serviced prior to Moving day so that the moving trip goes as smoothly as silk. Also, plan your car journey well in advance to avoid possibly bad last-minute decisions.

On the other hand, if you intend to fly to your new home, then you should definitely think about how to move your car across country. Contact a few top-rated auto transporting companies and get price quotes so that you can select the best offer in terms of pricing and conditions.

Stage Two: Serious packing tips for moving across country

It comes as a little surprise that everybody’s looking for the cheapest way to move across country. Why? Moving to another home is an expensive affair, especially when that new residence is located far away and the professional services of a long distance mover have been hired.

The truth is that you will need to secure the services of not just a random moving company, but rather one of the best long distance movers on the market as of today so that you can have the peace of mind that your prized possessions are being cared for throughout the entire household move. The definition “the best” when it comes to relocation professionals often means a reasonable balance between high-quality service and affordability.

How much does it cost to move across country? Believe it or not, the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA) claims that the average cost to move across country (an interstate move) is roughly $4,300-6000 for a distance of 1,225 miles and a shipment weight of 7,400 lbs.

Even though that is only an average moving cost and the price you pay will most likely differ substantially (request moving estimates to know for sure), it does give you a strong incentive to always take advantage of proven cost-saving strategies when moving across country on a budget – see below for some real-life moving tips that will actually let you save hard-earned money.

Make sure you know this: What is the average moving cost?

#10. Let’s move for less

Moving across country expenses

Packing whatever you can by yourself, like books, for example, is a good way to lower the moving expenses. Plus, you never know who will volunteer to help.

More often than not, the best way to move across country is to hire the services of an affordable cross country mover and then do most of the packing job by yourself. This tactic will let you have the best from both worlds – you’re still getting professional assistance for the special items that only specialists know how to pack and transport safely – pianos, pool tables, hot tubs, gun safes, antique furniture, big and heavy furniture pieces, heavy electric appliances, special-purpose equipment, etc., but at the same time you’re saving loads of money from packing on your own the more ordinary stuff in your home.

#11. Free moving boxes

While you’re looking for inexpensive ways to move across country, one thing that you shouldn’t underestimate is the cost of the required packing materials. While you probably won’t find yourself too worried about the price of Bubble wrap, packing paper, and packing tape, just think of the overwhelming number of cardboard boxes you’ll need to move your stuff across the country!

Packing boxes make up the biggest packing expense so find a way to lower that cost and you’ll have a cost-saving trick that’ll actually work. Access the full checklist with the places where you can get free moving boxes in good or even excellent condition.

#12 Purge your home of anything unwanted

When looking for cheap ways to move across country, know that each and every small decision to move an item that you won’t really need after the relocation will lead to a classic instance of losing money – the very thing you’re trying to stay away from.

The more things you plan to take with you, the heavier the total weight of your shipment will become. And, as you can easily deduct, that will increase the amount on the estimates you get from professional cross country moving companies.

Prepare to pack only the things that will be useful to you in the near future and get rid of the rest: organize a moving sale to pocket much-needed cash, gift still usable items to friends, donate to charity, or consider recycling the stuff that stopped being practical long time ago.

#13 Pack your furniture like a pro

It’s best to leave large, heavy and/or antique furniture to be handled by professional furniture movers. Still, you can safely pack up some of the smaller and lighter furniture pieces you own – a pro-active packing action that will let you save a good deal of money in the end.

Do this in two major stages: prepare your furniture pieces to be moved across the country by emptying, cleaning, and then disassembling them as far as they will go. Then, follow these furniture packing tips to secure and protect your prized possessions unless you find out that that job is too much for you to handle.

#14 Pack the right way

Packing tips when moving across the country

Who says packing is too complicated? 
#PackerAtHeart

When getting ready to move across the country, one of the worst things that can happen is to run out of time before you happen to complete the packing project. Your options will be severely limited if you still have piles of unpacked boxes when your movers start knocking at the door on Moving day. To prevent that stress-inducing scenario from happening, make sure you follow this excellent packing timeline.

Starting the packing process early is key – as soon as your cross country move is confirmed, get down to sorting out and packing your belongings with a clear plan of action in your head. Start with the storage areas in your home as they are the hardest ones to prepare for shipping.

#15 Pack with safety in mind

Unless you hire professional packers /How much does it cost to hire packers?/ to wrap up your stuff, packing safety is paramount when moving across the country because your items will be on the road much longer compared to a local move. A few simple safety rules are all you need to remember to keep things running smoothly and damage-free.

  • Always tape the bottom and sides of each cardboard box before starting to fill it in regardless of its condition.
  • Always place a few pieces of bubble wrap or several wads of paper (newspaper is also fine) on the bottom of the box before packing fragile items.
  • Don’t skimp on bubble wrap and soft packing paper when packing breakables.
  • Always fill in any spaces inside the box once it’s been packed so that no shifting is possible during transport.
  • Write FRAGILE, THIS SIDE UP, and HANDLE WITH CARE on the boxes that contain easily breakable items.

Are you Ready for Back-to-School Move-In Day?

by Leave a Comment

With the first day of school around the corner, college towns across the nation are preparing for the mass arrival of students moving into rental housing.

While a lease may begin at any time throughout the year, rental housing in college towns tend to have the majority of leases starting at the same time in late summer or early fall, mirroring the academic calendar of the local universities.  For property managers who work in college towns, this means getting ready for hundreds of tenants collecting keys and moving in on the same day!

Developing efficient processes will help ensure move-in day goes smoothly for tenants and management in your student rentals.    

GET LEASES SIGNED IN ADVANCE

Getting your property rented out as soon as possible before school starts is critical. Once the term begins, it’s much harder to find tenants. You do not want to risk letting your property sit vacant during prime rent-collecting months.

Depending on your market, student housing can get leased well before move-in day. Some college towns sign lease paperwork as early as 6 months prior to the start of the lease term.

College students are used to conducting business online, and will expect the same from their property managers. This means you should have a great online presence, including advertising online, online rental applications and offer online lease signing to make the process convenient and efficient for your student rentals.

TURN SEASON

Synonymous with back-to school move in day is turn season. With hundreds of tenants vacating their apartments in preparation for new occupancy, property managers sometimes only have a week or two to get hundreds of units in make-ready condition.

Remind your tenants in advance about move-out expectations, the timeline for vacating their unit and penalties for leaving a dirty or damaged property. Even though you have a security deposit to cover the cost of damages and cleaning, by getting your tenants to do all the cleaning and maintaining the property throughout the year, you will have less work to do getting the unit ready for the next lease.

Make sure your move-out inspection paperwork is ready for an efficient walk through, and your cleaning service and maintenance vendors are ready to prioritize your property as needed.

To help you through the process, check these tips for a smooth tenant turnover.

MOVE-IN DAY LOGISTICS

Reach out to future tenants a couple weeks before their lease will begin to remind them of move-in day requirements. Your communication should include what day their lease will start, what tenant funds (if any) are due on move-in day, what time and where they can pick up the keys to their new home. Student apartment communities should remind future tenants that move-in day will be very busy and their preparation will help the day go smoothly for everyone. You should also remind them to set up utility accounts before moving in.

BE AWARE OF FIRST TIME RENTERS

Student housing facilitates a big step for college students transitioning from the dorms into their very first apartment. Their inexperience may mean they require a little extra attention to ensure their success as a tenant at your property.  Put together welcome paperwork that restates property rules and gives tips on how to be a great tenant.    

First-time renters may also have a parent or two in tow, helping with the move and advocating for the best possible condition of their child’s rental unit. It is important to remember that parents are nervous and excited for their child’s first apartment, and may seem overbearing at times. Be prepared for emails, phone calls or office visits from concerned parents and develop a plan for how to respond to parent inquiries.

MEET THE NEIGHBORS

A great way to encourage positive relationships between your residents is by hosting community events. Capitalize on the excitement of moving to a new apartment and starting a fresh year with fun events for your tenants when they are eager to meet their neighbors. Creating a close community is a great way to retain tenants for future lease terms if they made friends with their neighbors.

HAVE A PARTY PLAN

After a lifetime with the parents, or a year or two in the dorms, students that are moving out on their own for the first time may try to push the boundaries with parties or social gatherings that threaten to damage the property or disrupt your other residents. Stick to your lease and community policies in regards to the number of guests and acceptable guest behavior, quiet hours, drinking and drug use, and how common areas may be used. Remind your tenants of your expectations and their legal agreement to uphold policies that encourage safety, accountability, and community respect.

####

Move-in day marks the official beginning of your tenants’ experience with your property. From day one they will be forming an impression of what it is like to rent from you and live at your property. A smooth move-in day will set the stage for a positive management-tenant relationship, building the foundation for long tenancy and future lease renewals.

5 people that will not help you move!

by Leave a Comment

It may be hard to believe that after all the times you helped people move, there are people who don’t want to help you move when it’s your turn. Many times they won’t even say no; they just don’t show up on moving day, despite all your promises of beer and pizza. Check out MyMove for tips!

Here are five people who aren’t likely to help you move, despite the quid pro quo.

1. That guy from work who has a big truck. Particularly if it’s a big newtruck that looks like nothing has ever been hauled in it.

Excuses you’re likely to hear: “I don’t want to scratch my truck” or “If I help you, I’ll have to help everyone you’ll ask.

2. That woman from your pilates class who is a maniac at every exercise. But who, when you ask her for moving help, has a bad back … and shoulder … and knee.

Excuses you’re likely to hear: “My abs are for show, not using” or “I’m afraid lifting boxes will throw off my center.”

3. That relative who goes hiking or rock climbing every other week but now, it turns out, has allergies. Or asthma.

Excuses you’re likely to hear: “It’s allergy season and I can’t possibly breath, much less carry anything” or “I’d help, but you don’t want me to sneeze all over your clothes and dishes, do you?”

4. That co-worker who never has plans for the weekend — except for the weekend that you need to move.

Excuses you’re likely to hear: “I’ve committed to checking in on my sick mother in another town” or “I have a date with this new guy who I’ve never mentioned and can’t tell you too much about.”

5. That college friend who you helped move six times but who says finals week is coming up — in March?

Excuses you’re likely to hear: “Didn’t I tell you I went back to school to finish my degree?” or “This online masters degree will really solidify my math background for employers.”

Don’t get mad. Moving is hard, sweaty, miserable work. And you might learn something by listening to all the excuses — like how to get out of your own next quo.

Pay attention to this case about movers!

by Leave a Comment

Beware of Rogue Movers.

     Here is a case that is still ongoing with movers that were not certified and did not have any history. They would agree to complete work at a low cost, then would charge unwarranted fees after. This company would then hold customers items hostage if they did not pay them. They would also change their name when customers became aware of the fraudulent practices. They continued this operation from Maryland and across the country since 2013. 

Arrests have been made now the clean up.

Attorneys are still sifting through evidence in an alleged nationwide moving scam that defrauded 900 people.

In a joint status report filed last week, the government wrote that there’s “voluminous discovery” in this case, and a trial date has not yet been set.

The government has provided defense attorneys with close to seven terabytes of data. The terabytes of data includes 80 forensically imaged computers, multiple email accounts, bank records, corporate and customer files and documents. Moreover, it includes evidence seized during search warrants of multiple warehouses around the country where customer’s goods were being stored.

There has been some progress. Since the indictment last July, federal agents helped recover 200 customers’ belongings from warehouses and storage units throughout the country.

Last year, 12 people were charged with conspiring in a racketeering enterprise to defraud customers through their moving companies. According to federal officials, the movers would give low binding estimates, load up the moving trucks, then demand more money. If customers didn’t pay, they’d hold their stuff hostage.(wmar2news)

It hurts workers and the local economy when criminals give our industry a bad name,even though these types of situations are rare. For companies with similar names, the victims of these crimes often mistakenly blame them for what happened and sometimes give them bad reviews online, which can hurt their business. I’m glad to hear the FMCSA has gotten more engaged on this issue, and we would encourage them to do everything they can to help these consumers. 

– Michael Keaton, spokesperson, The American Moving & Storage Association
