Imagine $700 cash showing up in your wallet every Sunday morning. That is what many self-storage owners are giving up each week because they are not taking ancillary sales seriously.
Self-storage ancillary income makes a huge difference in your profits now and when you sell.
Let’s run through the numbers for 500 units rented with a turnover rate of 20 units a month
$29 admin fee x 20 units rented a month =$580/month
Required Tenant Insurance: 500 units rented x 80% penetration x $10 profit/month = $4,000/month
$29 late fee assuming a good collection system including multiple text notices:
$29 x 10 late customers/month = $290/month
Disk lock sales: 20 units rented a month x 70% penetration $14.99/lock = $300/month
Box sales: 20 sales a month x $20/sale = $400/month.
The Grand Total = 66,840/year =$5,570 a month = $1,400 a week.
Even if you cut this extra profit in half because you are doing some of these things you would still be making an extra $33,000 a year = $700 extra cash deposited in your wallet every Sunday morning. It is time to be an expert!
At a 5-cap rate, this extra profit would mean an additional =$660,000 in profits when you sold. ($33,000/0.05)
If you have a detailed written game plan on how to capture all this extra income don’t forget to include it in your proforma for your bank loan. This along with other factors can make the difference in getting the loan or not.
