How Self Storage Can Help Your Rental Property Business

All of that is true if you only have one property, not to mention the compounding stress of owning and renting out several. Fortunately, Access Self Storage is here to help. We’ve compiled several ways you can make the most of a self-storage unit to curb the stress of a rental property business and help yourself grow without the growing pains.

Lawn Equipment and Cleaning Supplies Storage

Owning a property, whether you’re renting it out or not, comes with upkeep and maintenance. From chemicals, towels, rags, paper products, and other supplies required to keep your rental clean to lawn equipment and machines to manicure the yard, it’s likely that you’ll need a place to store it all. A 5×5 storage unit is great for storing all of your maintenance supplies including lawnmowers, weed whackers, sheers, rakes, salt spreaders for the sidewalk, and more.

Furniture Storage

There are a number of ways that furniture storage can serve you well as the owner of a rental property business. For instance, there may be times when you need to swap furniture between different rental properties to keep them new, fresh, and aesthetically pleasing. A storage unit is helpful for storing the furniture you’re not using at the moment. There might also be a time when you may need to complete renovations. Renting a storage unit will make it easy for you to temporarily hold furniture and large appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers.

Furniture storage also helps in emergency situations where should a flood or pest issue arise, you want the house to be empty so you can address the problem without accidentally ruining any of your belongings. In the case of a pest issue, it’s worth noting that certain types of furniture like couches and other upholstery might play host to the pests you’re trying to eliminate. In this case, consult with a professional about whether you should leave the furniture during a fumigation process.

Home Staging

You may not necessarily be a realtor or sales agent, but there’s a lot of merit behind framing your rental property in the most attractive light possible. While you of course don’t want to make any fundamental changes, or too many minor changes (to do so could compromise the integrity of the rental process and you may be accused of falsely representing your sale), it’s normal to reorganize things for elegant social media images and posting to market websites. This can involve temporarily adding or taking away books, photographs, mirrors, and even some smaller furniture, all of which can be quickly transported to a storage unit and returned once you’ve finished.
