Day in the Life of a Storage Facility Owner

Описание: Ever wondered what it’s like to run a self-storage facility? In this video, I take you behind the scenes for a full day in the life of managing storage units in Wisconsin — from handling tenants and payments to prepping units for auction and finding creative ways to maximize revenue.

We’ll dive into the real, unfiltered work that goes into keeping a storage business running smoothly. You’ll see what tasks fill the day, the systems we use, and how we deal with delinquent tenants and abandoned units.

⚖️ Wisconsin Legal Process: Storage Unit Auctions
If a tenant falls behind, Wisconsin Statute § 704.90 outlines your rights as an owner. Here’s the basic process I follow:

Notice of Default: Sent after non-payment (typically 5–10 days late).

Lien Notice: A certified letter is sent to the tenant with intent to sell if unpaid (minimum 14 days before sale).

Public Advertisement: Auction must be publicly posted — often via newspaper or online platform — at least two weeks prior.

Auction Day: Units are sold as-is to the highest bidder. Proceeds cover unpaid rent and expenses — any surplus must be returned to the tenant (if claimed).

We’ll walk through a real example of this process from start to finish.

💡 Additional Revenue Streams from Storage Units:

Charging late fees and lock-cut fees

Selling locks, moving supplies, and insurance

Renting parking spots or RV/boat storage

Converting underused space into premium units

Partnering with moving companies or local businesses

Offering temperature-controlled or climate-sensitive units at higher rates
