An over-the-hood storage locker is probably one of the greatest ideas to hit the world since homemade pie. In our ever-growing society where space means everything, having yet another solution that makes the most out of small spaces is a game-changer. Simply put, an over-the-hood storage locker is a place to store extra stuff right where you park. However, it is even more than just that.
Cleaning Up Eyesores
One of the greatest things that a storage solution can do for an apartment complex is to make it look much better. In many multifamily apartment buildings, the parking garage gets ignored and ends up becoming an eyesore. What happens is that the tenants start storing their extra stuff in the area at the front of their parking space, on the ground, for the whole world to see. After a while, when most of the other tenants follow suit, the garage starts to look more like a dump than a residential parking area. Extra bicycles, chairs, birdcages, dollhouses, or whatever else that they have lying around that they need to stash somewhere. How does one resolve this? Crackdown on them all and threaten to fine them? In a circumstance like this it is easy to see that the people are in need of some extra storage space. By installing a storage solution that doesn’t take up excess space, you can alleviate the eyesore problems and supply your tenants with a solid solution that looks amazing.
Generating a Significant Source of Income
Aside from cleaning up the eyesore mess, and providing a secure storage solution for your tenants, you can also generate a whole new source of revenue from the storage bins that you install. Most tenants would love to have somewhere else to store their extra stuff and would be willing to pay a little more to have it. They could go to an outside storage facility and spend upwards of $200 a month for a small storage place, or you could provide them an extra storage bin for half that month. If you have one hundred tenants in your building and they all pay an extra hundred dollars a month, that is $10,000 extra a month in your pocket. Even if only half of them pay extra, that is an extra 5 grand in your pocket, per month. How about that for an investment? An ongoing return on investment that everybody is going to be happy about.
Making Room
The best part of adding the type of storage solution that a car can park under is that you don’t have to bust down any walls or make any huge changes because the room for the storage bins is already there. They stand on their own. They stand above the cars where there is nothing but thin air. The space is already there and available for use, all you have to do is install the boxes. Every parking spot is a great place to put a box. There’s not much to it but to go ahead and do it. Make the most out of the space that you already have, and make a generous amount of income to do it. Why wait?
