Grasshopper app - Can I keep the phone number?
The app will give me a new number that will be linked to my storage facility. If I decide I don't want to use Grasshopper anymore, can I keep the phone number? Would hate to have to update everything to use a different number. I don't have the app yet. Just thinking about this scenario.

Check and see if you can "port" the number to another provider. The information may be in the Grasshopper terms and conditions or you may need to ask support. I have an Ooma VOIP number which used to be one of my landlines. Their modem is really unstable. I read yesterday that I can port numbers to Google Voice which is a free service. I'm checking into the process.
Do you normally opt to get Windstorm/Hail coverage on your insurance?
This is not included in base insurance. Do you normally add this? I'm in Texas if that matters. A facility in West Texas and another near Houston area.

And flood insurance is also separate.
Power Hour Break for the Rest of July!
Hey StorageAce Family — Power Hour Break for the Rest of July! Quick heads up: we're pausing Power Hour calls for the rest of July. No calls until we kick back off on August 4th. I'm heading out with my family for two weeks to explore Singapore, Thailand, and Hong Kong — a little well-earned downtime before we dive back in. While I'm away, don't put your goals on pause. Keep analyzing deals, keep having conversations with sellers, and keep taking action. Every day you wait is a day someone else closes the deal you could've had. Wishing you all a wonderful July — rest, recharge, and come back ready to make August your best month yet. See you on the 4th! Dave P.S. If you're serious about getting your first (or next) facility under contract and you want the plan, the tools, and a community of investors — plus coaches who've done 25 deals between us — grab a time to talk with Ken and me here: Book a Call

Enjoy your family time! That's the main reason you are involved in storage!
How to view a deal that includes the facility along with a house next door.
I'm looking at a facility where the owner lives next door. He has an older 3 bedroom and 2 bath house next door which also serves as his office. In fact, the front room is setup as an office for people to walk in and sit down. He has a built-in counter and desk on one half of the office/room. Per tax records, the facility and the house are 2 separate parcels. The facility is own by his LLC and the house/office is owned in his name. His plan is to move out of state after the sale, so he does not want to hold onto the house. He wants to sell the facility and the house as a packaged deal. How would you approach this? I should think of this as 2 separate transactions, right? I was thinking of giving him an offer without the house (my preferred) and also an offer with the house (his preferred). Not sure if he will go for that. If I have to take the house, I don't want to become a landlord. I would have to fix that room with the desk/counter in the middle of it and possibly some small renovation like flooring and paint before I can sell it as a house. The market for selling houses is not great right now so that's a concern. Second option is to rent or sell it as an office. It is on a main road so maybe someone might want to buy or rent it as a work office. The house sits between the storage facility and another business on that main road so it's isolated from other residential homes. Let me know if there are other options I'm missing. Also, let me know if there are some gotchas that I need to be aware of in this scenario or during the underwriting.

Definitely, get the values separately and see how to benefit the most from your offer. Sounds like his "problem" you can solve is to make his house worries disappear. Run your numbers using a ZERO value for the house, then you could almost give it away and come out ahead. Is he open to seller financing terms? I would check the local housing market since they are so different. What is the population? Get's the houses market value. Get opinions from 2-3 different local agents. Since they are on 2 separate lots, you could sell the house as a way of recouping some of your down payment. Just value the house in such a way that you will make more than the assigned "value" when you sell it.

@Tommy Xaysongkham You might ask the title company you plan on using. You might also investigate if it affects your financing for them to be separate.
