Pricing a Storage Unit - How to Know Exactly What to Charge to Increase Value
Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! This is your host AJ Osborne.
Today we have the big daddy of them all… unit pricing.
If you own, operate, or are looking at investing in storage, have you every asked yourself:
What should you be charging for the units at your storage facility?
How do you know what the storage market can handle in your area?
How much can you increase the rate of your storage units?
What’s the BEST price you should charge for your storage units?
If you’ve asked these questions before, you’re certainly not alone. You’d be surprised how many storage facilities we come across that are extremely under valued. They’re not charging the rates they could be.
This is a great problem to have as an owner or investor, because you can immediately and simply resolve this issue. Not only that, you can increase your revenue by incredible amounts.
This is what we’re going to jump into today. We’re going to cover everything unit pricing and help to answer all the questions you might have in regard to pricing units. To do this, we need to be able to accurately measure supply, demand, how to increase storage demand, value of our tenants (even over time), finding your ideal customer, and much more.
One super important thing I want you to take away from this episode is to realize that each and every single one of the storage units at your facility is an individual product. I talk more on this idea on the podcast and why this frame of mind is so important.
As always, thanks a ton for all your amazing support everybody. Thanks for listening!
