I own a small storage business called 277 Storage
<http://277storage.com>. First I would say, there is storage business
software that wraps this all up for you. For something of that scale,
I would think the ROI of that software is prohibitive, but likely less
so than doing it yourself with what I assume your time is worth. At
least that was the case last time I looked. There is somebody in Utah
that claims to have software a small business
<https://www.storageunitsoftware.com/self-storage-software> like you
describe could afford.
The second thing I would say is I wouldn't do it with conex boxes.
While I Like those containers and they are generally tighter than
purpose built storage buildings, they turn renters off. Every site I
have seen with them looks a bit dodgy and people seem to expect to pay
less for those sites. A fence would be advisable. Units without
fencing get burglary attempts than non fenced. I think it is likely
due to the perception thieves have about the rest of the attitude on
security.
Maybe I am wrong but the people who call me are more worried about
security than price. I would also suggest putting up a HikVision, or
if you prefer, Ubiquiti, camera system as well. Even a fake camera
system would be worth the effort. Lastly, Throw all that out if this
land isn't in a good location and just use conex boxes. Storage is a
real estate business similar to others and if the location isn't good
you will fight that uphill battle. If there are a lot of businesses in
the area they may like those for storage. Don't know. We have had
really good results with our warehouse storage. Call if you want to
talk about it.

*Subject:* [AFMUG] OT One for the borg
Thinking of arranging about 50 conex containers on some commercial
land I own and renting them out for storage.
I want software where they will go online, see vacancies, rent,
auto pay etc. Totally hands off. Even like a phone app to open
the gate for them when they want to get into the place.
Hate to develop code for this. It has to exist out in the world
somewhere...
Any ideas.
