The first thing that you are going to want to do, here, is figure out where you are going to want to rent your unit at the end of the day.  The last thing that you are going to want to do, here, is rent a unit that is going to be very far away from where you live.  I mean, if you do that, then you might as well not rent a unit at all.  Just think of all of that time and money that you are going to waste getting to your unit.  Just getting to your unit!  Likewise, imagine how awful it is going to be if you have to make more than one trip to your unit throughout the course of your move.  More than likely, you are going to find that you should have simply rented a unit that is closer to where you live.  Sure, you might have to pay a little bit more for it, but that is hardly going to mean a thing at all when you are saving yourself all of that time.

Second of all, you are going to have to pick a self storage unit that is compatible with your schedule.  Surprisingly, many people seem to forget about that as they are calling around, and they end up landing themselves in a world of hurt at the end of the day.  OF course, you can avoid all of these problems by simply asking your properties what they office hours are, and what their access hours are.  Be sure that you are going to be able to get to your unit during the access hours, and that you are not going to be cutting things too close.  The very last thing that you are going to want, here, is to get yourself stuck inside of the gate after your access hours have ended for the evening.  That is going to be a mess that you are not going to want to deal with; not one bit.

As you can see, reader, there are only a few things that you have to keep in mind when you are calling around to rent a self storage unit.  More often than not, you are going to be able to find a unit in your area that has all of the features and hours that you could ever need.  Just do your homework in the beginning, and you will not live to regret a thing.

Of course, if you are going to be loading a lot of heavy furniture into your unit, then you might want to consider renting a drive up self storage unit.  These units are ground level, and you are going to be able to pull your car right up to the door.  Typically speaking, you can simply pull your car into, or partially into, the unit, and you will not have to worry about dealing with any long hallways or anything like that.  If I, personally, were going to rent a unit, and I knew that I was going to have to store a ton of heavy furniture, then I would be sure to rent one that was drive up accessible.

If you know that you are going to be storing tons of electronics, then you are going to have to be sure that you are renting a climate controlled self storage unit.  These units, typically speaking, are going to be held between sixty and seventy degrees, meaning that your temperature sensitive items are not going to be harmed by changes in the temperature and humidity.  Computers, televisions, video game consoles, and even clothing items are going to fare much better in these kinds of units.  Though they are going to run you a little bit of extra money, you are going to find that the safety of your belongings is well worth it.

Moving on, here, you are going to want to rent a large, garage size unit if you know that you are going to be storing a vehicle.  Typically speaking, most facilities are going to be able to offer this kind of vehicle storage.  Of course, when you are calling around, you must specify that you are going to be using your unit for vehicle storage.  Some managers do not have the proper insurance to allow this, so by telling them from the get go that you are going to be storing a vehicle, you guarantee that you are not going to get yourself into any trouble.

If you are going to be storing an inventory of items, i.e. your products, then you are going to want to be sure that you rent a self storage unit that comes with shelving supplies.  With these, you are going to be able to sort your products into rows, leaving yourself access to individual items when you need to retrieve them.

First and foremost, reader, you are going to have to be sure that you are only renting self storage units from facilities that allow for you to take an on site tour before you sign your paperwork.  Simply put, if your self storage facility is not willing to let you see your unit before you rent it, then they are trying to hide something.  You would never put up with this kind of trickery if you were buying something else, so why in the world would you put up with it when you are renting a self storage unit?  Just take it from me, reader, you are going to want to be sure that you check your unit out in person before you commit to renting it.  It simply makes sense that way.

Moving on, here, you are going to want to be sure that your self storage unit comes equipped with all of the security features that you want and need.  The last thing in the world that you are going to want, here, is to spend your money on a unit that is not going to be able to keep your belongings nice and safe.  To this effect, you are going to want to be sure that you are renting a self storage unit that comes equipped with video surveillance cameras, door alarms, a secure door lock, and a fence around the perimeter of the facility.  If you do not rent a unit that comes equipped with these features, then you are going to grow to regret it over time.  Truly, you are not going to be able to rest assured that your belongings are safe.  And truly, that is the worst feeling in the world, reader.  When you do not know that your belongings are being kept safe, you experience a tremendous amount of stress.  I do, at least.

Finally, reader, you are going to have to be sure that you are renting a unit that is in a nice, low crime area.  Sure, self storage units are going to be nice and safe when they are equipped with all of those security features, but that does not mean that you are going to want to take your chances by renting one that is not in a good neighborhood.  If you do not feel comfortable when you go to visit your belongings, then you are never going to be happy with the self storage unit that you rent.  It is just as simple as that.

Before you commit yourself to renting a self storage unit, be sure that you are happy with every facet of the rental.  Take care of yourself early on, and you are going to be just fine when it comes to renting your self storage unit.

At the end of the day, you are going to be very happy that you adopted an actual plan when it comes to moving your home.  When you do not have a plan, you very quickly fall victim to bouts of extreme stress and doubt.  By setting your chores in stone, though, and by giving yourself a rough understanding of when you are going to do them, you can guarantee that things do not become overwhelming when they do not have to be.

Of course, the first thing that you need to know, reader, is that lifting heavy furniture is not exactly safe.  If you lift your furniture correctly, then you are not going to run into any serious problems.  If you fail you lift your furniture in a safe way, then you might very well end up injuring yourself.  Thus, it is important to keep all of the basics in mind. 

First and foremost, be sure that you are not lifting with your back.  If your only grip on an object is close to the floor, then bend your knees until you can grab it with your hands, and use your LEGS to pull the object up.  If you bend over at the waist, you are going to end up doing some serious harm to your back, and that is never fun.

Second of all, be sure that you are not attempting to lift things that you cannot lift.  It sounds simple, reader, because it is.  If you know that you are not strong enough to lift something, then call in some extra help.  It may take some extra time, but calling in that extra help could truly make or break your back.

Third of all, reader, you are never going to want to underestimate the value of your legs.  Really, you want to make the most of your legs when it comes to heavy lifting.  If you feel that you are losing your grip on an object, tell your lifting partner to wait, use your leg to prop the object up, and find yourself a better grip.  While you may be a bit shy when it comes to holding up progress, the last thing that you are going to want to do, here, is drop an object and break it when you could have prevented it.

When it comes to moving, and moving safely, there are a few things that you simply cannot forget.  Your number one priority should always be safety, reader . Safety is what really matters at the end of the day, not your sofa.  While I may have told you to use your knee when your hands fail you, but if you knee is not doing the trick, then you might simply have to drop the item to avoid injuring yourself.  Just be sure that you are not injuring your helper when you drop an item.

Moving services are great, but you do not have to fret if you cannot afford one when it comes time to move.  Just be sure that you are reminding yourself of all of the basics, and you are not going to run into any problems that you cannot solve.

As you can see, reader, none of this advice is very complicated.  It is all rather simple.  The only trick, here, is that you have to follow up on it.  You cannot simply toss your belongings into the back of a truck and hope for the best.  You cannot simply drive carefully and guarantee that your furniture is not going to slide around, causing untold amounts of damage.  You truly have to be proactive in these regards, buying all of the packing and moving supplies that you are going to need to keep your belongings nice and safe during your trip.  It will cost you a little bit of money, but it is well worth it.

Self Storage Investors

A rocky few years of commercial and residential real estate market has no doubt left the field of investors looking like a dried up river bed. And not only investors, but lenders closed their doors to new loan opportunities and tightened the noose for outstanding liens.

While the residential real estate market saw foreclosure and interest rates rise to a crippling high, the commercial real estate market likewise felt the same heat. However, self storage must have held an immunity idol somewhere inside a 5×10 storage space surrounded by tenants who kept renting.

Yes, self storage operators felt the loss of a few percentage points in revenue, but compared to other REITs over the past year, the storage industry was one of the only industries showing a profit and still able to draw lenders, however few and far between they might have been.

Charts and statistics can now support the past few years of the storage industry’s success, despite wavering real estate markets. This is promising and serious investors have their eye on self storage investment opportunities.

So, take heart, self storage owners. You may get your wish for 2010 and find a few more investors swimming in the pool this year. 

No New Taxes 

Some financial analysts and plenty of political bloggers predicted unfavorable tax changes for REITs after an Obama administration took office. Of course, on the other end, plenty of analysts and bloggers predicted tax relief for self storage owners and the like.

Only time will tell, but last year there were new tax benefits for self storage owners who could employ some savvy cost segregation methods to label their assets. But this technique was nothing new to storage owners looking to save on their taxable income and maximize credits.

Home Sweet Home Will Stay That Way

Residential real estate experts, or anyone with a search engine, can see that the band aid over a fallen economy has to be ripped off, and soon. A failed loan modification program has over 700,000 Americans in limbo with only 31,000 of the applicants successfully through the program and back on track, for now.

Banks will soon have to start processing foreclosure notices and the reaction could be dire for the self storage industry if tenants have to leave or become delinquent on their rental space.

On the other hand, Americans may react by holding their family memories together and keeping all the keepsakes and furniture that make a house a home in a storage unit until the are back on their fee.

Either way, families will be more aware of pennies leaving their pockets and self storage owners will be forced to pay attention to pennies flowing in and out of their office.

Self storage owners can expect change in 2010 and there is plenty of silver lining to the cloud, but a cloud there definitely is. However the self storage industry has a lot to hope for and wish for in the coming year.

It is common for the industry to auction belongings of what are considered abandoned units. These are units where the rent has not been paid in three months or longer and all efforts to collect the rent form the tenant have failed. The simple truth is that while that unit is occupied, and no one is paying, the company is losing money. In order to recuperate some of the lost rent money, the business will hold auctions. These auctions are usually monthly depending on how many abandoned units the property has. This seems pretty cut and dry to most people, and understandable to anyone who has not rented a unit and anyone involved with Kansas City storage management .

When customers cannot be found, and their unit is auctioned, people may follow up later and be surprised that their unit was auctioned. Even if the process of abandoned units was explained in full at the time of the rental, people are still very angry that they will have no way to recover their things. Sometimes units hold photos, mementos, and things that you did not realize had as much value to you as they do. Once someone loses something, they instantly see the value in it because it is gone. This is something that Kansas City storage management has to deal with every month. Imagine telling someone that their unit has been auctioned and they can not recover anything that they lost. It is heart breaking to hear sometimes, but there is no other alternative and your rent must be paid just like it is on your home.

Most of the facilities have a lot of tenants, sometimes hundreds. With all of those people renting from you, you must be organized and have all of their information up to date. If you do not tell someone their rent is late, or not received, they may have paid it and thought everything is fine. It is these types of details that a manager really has to focus on to keep client relations good. For the most part, people come in, they rent a unit, and they pay their rent every month. If every tenant were like this, it really would be an easy job to do. You can ask any member of Kansas City storage management and they will tell you that it is a difficult job that requires a lot of focus and attention to keep everyone happy all of the time.
