Doing some DD on a facility in a rural area. People around there use Spectrum for internet. I'm looking at the pricing and wondering which plan I would need. See below. From my research, it's not so much the download speed that matters but the upload speed for clearer and smoother videos. How do you determine how many cameras are needed and what internet speed? Also, I've heard of others using Starlink. Wonder if that's an option and how much that would be.

Quick question for those who have wholesaled/self-storage assigned deals before: Have any of you used NDAs with buyers when wholesaling a facility? Or do you not really recommend it? I’m trying to figure out best practices here and whether it’s something I should be implementing or if it creates more friction than value. If anyone has a sample NDA they’ve used before, I’d really appreciate it if you’d be willing to share. Thanks!

Question for self-storage owners/operators: If you acquired a mom-and-pop facility that had: - no website, no Google Business Profile, no security cameras, no automated gate, minimal lighting What order would you prioritize improvements in? Part of me thinks: Create the Google Business Profile first (since it’s free) Build a basic website Implement management software/system Add cameras Add automated gate + improve lighting But I also wonder if putting photos online before adding security features could hurt customer perception and reviews. Curious how experienced operators would approach this operationally and from a marketing/customer trust standpoint. What would be your first move?

Everything I’ve been working toward in self storage is slowly starting to come together. Getting hands-on experience managing a facility. Being put in positions to potentially wholesale deals. Having self storage opportunities sent over for underwriting and deal analysis. Still learning every day, but it’s exciting seeing the consistency and networking start to pay off. One thing I’ve realized quickly:This business is heavily relationship driven.

Just toured a facility and noticed something interesting… The units are built out with wood / plywood walls instead of metal panels. I uploaded a picture for reference 👀 Curious how others here think about this: 👉 Do you typically buy facilities like this? 👉 Have you upgraded wood interiors to metal, or left them as-is? 👉 Does this impact tenant quality, rents, or insurance in your experience? My initial thoughts: - Feels more like an older / mom & pop build - Could be value-add… or could mean future CapEx - Not sure if it’s worth converting everything or just improving what’s there Would love to hear from anyone who’s actually dealt with this. How do you approach a facility with wood-built units? @David Johnstone
