Managing a self-storage site takes a great deal of know-how and skill, particularly in today’s sophisticated markets. Thanks to competition, a more demanding customer base and technological tools, facility operation is increasingly complex. For this reason, many owners and operators are considering third-party and automated management options. This book serves as a guide to fee-based management: why to use it, what you should get, what it costs and more. It also highlights a few remote-management methods for those interested in running unmanned sites.
