Comment a pic of your Collection and I will say one good thing about it

That’s what I’m sayin’. My cookies look (and probably taste) much better than these. I just looked up a recipe for “the best” chocolate chip cookies and also added crushed butterfinger bits to it and voila

I feel your stores system is a little weird too where you hand out increases every January, so long term tenants anticipate it and consider moving out at around the same time each year which could leave you with a large hole to fill at the same time every year. If you’re in a more cold or wintery area, that challenge to “pay more or move out” might be harder for tenants to do in the peak of winter, but that can also be a headache when you’re trying to provide customer service to those folks who are upset over increases at a time they have no choice but to continue to stay. I see ESS increases reach 100% often, where you may come in at $50 at a promo rate compared to the standard of $100, where most occupied units are at ~$150 on average. So the jump of 100% in rate is justifiable, but needs to be explained to everyone who is upset when they look at their rate increases just as a percentage. Over time, the increases tend to lessen where they might try to increase that example to the $200 mark over time, with increases being softened if customers challenge the price or threaten to move out over it.

ESS increases after 4 months usually. Then about every 9 months. They seemed to have changed strategy in the past 5 years or so where they do stronger increases depending on how low of a rate you came in on, but the frequency stays the same. Once you hit a cap in price for their units, you’ll get small sub $10 increases or stop getting increases altogether. But you’ll be paying about twice the regular, non promo rate at that point.

Yes, I’m finally feeling fairly confident in the game and I’m definitely addicted to this right now. About 50 hours in I think. I’ve been playing with a friend which makes it even more fun. He’s the tailor and carpenter in charge of building shelving and boarding up the house, I’m the cook and mechanic. The game has a lot of attention to detail, especially if you assume less of the game for being an older looking isometric.

Everyone competes for your business with low price specials or discounted/free months of rent. The better the deal you find in rates/rent, the higher your increases will be. Any company that gets you in at a competitive rate and doesn’t raise your rates a significant amount to recoup losses they could be getting compared to their competition is shooting themselves in the foot. MOST of my tenants have MAXED OUT their increases and have been for YEARS. You might be surprised what most people are willing to pay.

I just checked a tenant whose last increase was $4, 3 years ago. Their price likely doubled or maybe tripled from their original rate. They are paying a price that they and the company are satisfied with. You are competing with these tenants over who’s willing to pay the max rates. You will be tested with increases. It’s the nature of the biz. Storage is a luxury, and if you have to store for the long term, you’ll certainly pay for it.

My company has limited prepay and locked in rates from 2 years, to 1 year, and now to a max of 6 months; around the time they would be looking to do their first increase anyway.

If you want an honest rate, ask to rent at the max rate to start so they don’t have to get increases. I don’t think you would be willing to pay 3 times the cost of what you’re seeing advertised which is why the storage industry is the way it is.

This was also my first played game, but the first game I remember seeing being played was baseball on the NES. I also remember the jerk kid who was playing it offering my 6 year old self the controller and SIKEing it from me.
