The best real estate investors don't just look at properties—they understand the numbers behind them. 📊🏢

When evaluating a multifamily deal, three metrics deserve your attention:

✅ Net Operating Income (NOI) – Measures how much income the property generates after operating expenses.

✅ Cap Rate – Helps estimate a property's return relative to its value.

✅ Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) – Shows whether the property's income can comfortably cover its loan payments.

The more deals you analyze, the sharper your investment instincts become. Make underwriting a daily habit, and over time you'll recognize opportunities with greater confidence. 📈

📦 Why do self-storage tenants often stay longer?

Retention is one of the strengths of the self-storage business.

📍 Convenient locations and reliable service encourage customers to renew their leases
📦 As storage needs grow, many tenants upgrade to larger units or rent additional space
💰 Longer tenant stays can reduce turnover costs and vacancy periods
📈 Consistent occupancy helps create more predictable income and long-term returns

💡 In self-storage, keeping existing customers can be just as valuable as attracting new ones.

Happy tenants. Stable income. Stronger investments.
