Self-Storage help

[Matthew Fragassi]

Hey everyone! I am looking into purchasing a self-storage unit from my in-laws. They're in the golden years and don't want to deal with it anymore. I was coming to the forums here because I need advice! :-) The storage is an absolute mess! They have managed it very poorly, little to no upgrades or advertising has been done, but they still manage to bring in a decent amount of cash-flow. What are somethings that can be done with storage to increase value, be able increase rent, etc...? I don't have much info in the storage area of real estate so any help/advice would be beneficial. Thanks everyone.
