First Preliminary Report
There is no charge to objectively review your proposed project and determine if the market’s demographics, competition and demand support its development at a high level. In a preliminary report, Sensei takes a quick look at the submarket to see if there are any initial red flags for you to explore before you take further action.
If so, then you should proceed with a feasibility study that matches your market and budget, whether it focuses on self-storage, boat and RV storage, storage condos, flex warehouse spaces, industrial outdoor storage, or a combination of these storage types. If not, don’t worry, Sensei will break the news gently.
Your first preliminary report is free (successive reports are $105) and includes a 30 minute Zoom consultation with Sensei to discuss her findings.
Successive Preliminary Reports
After your first preliminary report and meeting, you may order additional prelims for other parcels and submarkets. Now that you’ve walked through the results with her once, successive preliminary reports may be sent by email with a summary of her initial thoughts about the submarket.
