Building Trust Through Transparency

Laying out the negatives upfront is a powerful strategy for establishing trust with potential investors. Rather than solely highlighting the positives of storage investments, discussing the known risks, such as property tax challenges and declining population growth in certain areas, sets realistic expectations.
