All 80 occupied tenants had their last rent change within the past 6 months. 27 tenants (33.8%) currently have rent variances in the 0-15% range against street rate. There are no tenants with rates unchanged for over 360 days, meaning the ECRI program is keeping rates fresh.
Looking at the EOM trend from the Poth Mini Storage sheet, occupancy has declined from a peak of 83% (mid-2024) to 65% currently. Revenue collected in January 2026 was $12,419, down from December 2025's $11,392 but consistent with late 2025 levels. The facility added 6 new units in late 2025 (from 128 to 134 total) which accounts for some of the occupancy percentage decline.
Google Rating remains strong at 4.4 stars, unchanged throughout 2025.

Side-by-Side Comparison
Key Discussion Points
Poth Storage: Occupancy has settled around 65-67% after recent unit additions. The strong insurance enrollment at 93.8% and 100% lead conversion rate are very positive. The main focus area is filling vacant inventory, as 33 units remain available. ECRI rate increases are being executed cautiously with minimal move-out impact (0 move-outs from Feb increases). The $527 delinquency from a single tenant in the 61-90 day window should be monitored for potential auction.
Poth RV Park: Occupancy is solid at 80% with only 3 spaces available. AutoPay adoption is excellent at 83.3%. The primary concern is the very low insurance enrollment (only 1 of 12 tenants), which is a missed revenue and protection opportunity. Lead conversion needs attention as none of the 3 February reservation leads have converted. The $399 bad debt write-off this month and the 15.6% rate variance suggest some tenant quality and pricing work ahead. Two tenants with rates unchanged for 360+ days should be prioritized for increases.
