Self Storage

When considering some of the nation’s most profitable industries, what do you think of? The NFL? Entertainment? Self-storage?

Divining Detroit

The first thing you learn in Detroit is that you don’t know anything about Detroit. Most Americans – even many Michigan residents – perceive the city as crime-ridden, crumbling, conundrum.

Game On!

Can you remember back to your middle school days? Perhaps it’s a different visual for everyone, but mine is a crystal clear picture with smell-o-vision.

Reducing turnover (and loss of revenue) requires multiple factors working together in harmony, such as a great location, beautiful homes and amenities, and a maintenance crew that is always on point.
