First Month
The first month of the storage unit is in the books! Most small businesses hang their first $1 bill in the office. Since we don't really have an office and the first bill I received was a $5, I decided to take a pic and post it here. That's it. Our first profit.
This month was eventful and full of surprises. Trent has repaired a bullet hole in a unit (your guess is as good as mine), I've spoken to almost every tenant at this point, we've had a few new tenants join, I've heard "the check is in the mail" one too many times and I've met some wonderful people. No, we have not had a "Storage War" auction yet, but I see one on the horizon.
Latest lesson: I received a call from a guy who wanted to rent a new unit. I told him I could meet him out there at a designated time and I head on out. We both arrived at the unit, I opened up the garage-style door and walked in. This was the exact moment I realized that I was recreating a scene from any number of Lifetime murder/mystery movies. Going forward, I probably won't be walking into an empty storage unit alone with a stranger.
