Before we could provide you with such advice, we would need more information regarding this potential buy. After all, the previous owner had to be giving up the facility for a reason, right? Yes, there’s a good possibility the owner has collected enough money over the years to retire and would like one final check to move to a beach house in the Caribbean, but it’s also possible that there is something wrong with the facility or business model. This is why you should hire a self storage consultant. A self storage consultant will help you get to the bottom of why this facility is for sale.
If it’s because the business wasn't successful, that doesn't mean the business doesn't have the potential to be successful. It could just be a matter of bad management, which is one of the reasons to hire a self storage manager. Bad management can be the difference between having a million dollar in profits or a quarter million in debt. If the previous manager was a bad manager, it’s possible he or she is selling it just to close in on his debt before it gets any worse. As mentioned above, bad management doesn't necessarily mean a bad facility or no potential.
