Looking at a facility in a tertiary town. It's one of only 2 facilities in the 7 miles radius. The only competition is 90% full, but they are right in the middle of the town whereas my facility would be a mile outside of town and currently about 70% full even with current lower prices. The competitor is also near the main street, and the traffic pattern does not come towards my facility. Trying to get an idea about how aggressive I can be raising the rent and also if I can get to the same rate as the competitor in a location that is not as good as theirs.

I'm a retired engineer IN Texas. My Marine veteran partner, Cassandra Avila, and I are actively looking for self storage assets for cash flow. FYI, we connected via Skool in another group and really hit it off. Networking works! I've already seen some tremendous value in the classroom calls I've listened to so far. Looking forward to much more!
