    Why box, close his parking space ?

    The boxing of a parking space consists in transforming a parking space into a closed garage. Depending on the layout of your space, you need to add two or three wall partitions and a swing or sliding door. You are the owner of a space in a communal car park and you want to transform it into a garage to boost profitability ? We will explain you all the steps to box a car park while respecting the rules for closing your parking space.

    Not every good investor will put all his eggs in one basket. You must diversify your investments (bank, life insurance, stock market, real estate, etc…) to earn as much income as possible.

The advantage is that there are many variants: paper stone (SCPI), studio, apartment, commercial walls, offices, retirement home room, warehouse, parking, garage or box.

    A high frequency of spotting in car parks

    Every owner of car parks, garages, boxes or warehouses is one day confronted with theft. The latest fashion is to steal car parts: you arrive in the morning to leave for work and you are missing a door, wheels, or lights… Arrested thieves don’t risk much. Many websites allow you to resell parts quickly and discreetly.

    Police officers interviewed confirm that parking lots and garages are visited. Just to keep track of vehicle models and colors. Several members of our club have had this unpleasant experience and dreaded it. Indeed, we have noticed that one out of two tenants think of leaving their location after a theft. With a risk of losing 50 % of your occupants, we had to advise and teach you how to secure your parking lots.

    Presentation of the property :

    garage battery for sale

    We have identified a lot of 16 garages for sale. To invest in a lot of garages, you must ask the seller for a copy of the current rental contracts to check the amount of rent received but also the exact number of garages rented. Considering the exceptional geographical situation of this property, near a large city. We know that a rent around $ 93 per month and per garage is not crazy. There are few garages for rent at the moment, but you shouldn’t overestimate the rents. The income indicated by the seller of $ 1500 per month is realistic. The property tax for a 7 276 sq ft plot of land is in line with the averages observed in this sector.

    The photos reveal a fibrocement roof that may contain asbestos. This is a negative point that could lead to major work for the buyer in the coming years.

    Have you noticed how the seller places foot calls in his ad ? Building land in the city centre, possibility to build a house or loft…. We will study the profitability and tell you what the seller really has in mind. The elements of some ads show the intentions of the sellers. Learning to discover what is hidden between the lines saves valuable time for experienced investors. Why should an investor who wishes to buy a lot of garages not position himself on this property ?
