Does anyone have any tips for finding a local boots on the ground? How much are you offering? Thanks!

Hi, @Ari Colman - if I picked up a facility, I tried to leverage someone that that facility has been already using first. If there isn't anyone they have been using for handyman work, etc. then I use Indeed. I post the job, with specifics and qualifications, and then review all the applicants, pick the ones that have backgrounds that align with what I'm looking for, schedule a call and I have a series of qualification questions I ask on that call. I try to have at least three calls, and then I can usually find one winner based on their answers to my questions Hope this helps
Operations
ideas on alternatives to having a unit dedicated to BOG stuff? Dont want to waste a unit on it.

@Caitlin Lombardo I don't overthink it - if you are 99% full, and this is your last unit, your prices are not high enough and you should raise rents so some people move out - you should always have units available to rent.
Davinci
can you use Davinci Locks under ONE account for multiple locations or do you have to register your different locations? Tying to save on an additional monthly fee.

@Caitlin Lombardo Not with ESS, but yes with Cubby
Introduction
Hello, I’m Jeff. I’ve been investing in real estate for the past 10 years and found my way into self-storage about two years ago. My son and I purchased a 100-unit facility in Texas that was in rough condition—both physically and operationally. Over the past two years, we completed a $350,000 renovation, brought the facility from distressed to 90% stabilized occupancy, and recently refinanced the property. The process taught me a tremendous amount about what to do, what not to do, and how to operate efficiently in this industry. I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the self-storage business model and the operational systems required to run these facilities successfully. Now, I’m focused on scaling, acquiring additional facilities, and helping others avoid the mistakes I had to learn the hard way.

After 23 years in Corp America, I've built a 200k sq/ft self-storage portfolio and left my W2. Now, I help others achieve the same freedom.
