At The Storage Neighbor in Roswell, we answer a lot of questions about proper storage.  Here are some suggestions for how to store high priced and valuable items in your Roswell storage unit.

Appliances

When storing refrigerators or freezers in your Roswell storage unit, be sure they are defrosted. This is done to avoid water damage and discourage the growth of mildew.  Once stored inside your storage unit in Roswell, we recommend leaving the doors of refrigerators and freezers slightly open to encourage air circulation.  If storing a washing machine in your storage unit in Roswell make sure it is completely drained.  To keep appliance dry while in your Roswell storage unit, wipe them down with baking soda or place a box inside the appliance.

Electronics

If possible, electronics such as TVs, computers and stereo equipment should be kept in their original packaging for the duration of their storage in our Roswell facility.  If you no longer have the original boxes, find boxes close in size to the original and fill the extra space with paper or packing peanuts.

Photographs and Family Heirlooms

Many families find it necessary to store photographs and family heirlooms in their storage unit in Roswell.  At The Storage Neighbor in Roswell, we understand how important these treasures are to you and your family.  When storing items of this nature, we recommend that you lease an indoor climate controlled storage unit at our Roswell facility.  The steady temperature (between 60 and 78 degrees) will help to ensure that these items will not be damaged.  If storing loose photographs in your Roswell storage unit, place them between sheets of clean cardboard to avoid curling.

Wood Furniture

When storing wood furniture in your Roswell storage unit, spray it with a high quality furniture polish for added protection.  Don’t forget to cover furniture with a tarp, moving cloth or sheet for complete coverage while inside your storage unit in Roswell.

These proper storage techniques will ensure that your items are in perfect condition when you remove them from our Roswell storage location.  Click here for more information about The Storage Neighbor in Roswell.

Atlanta, August, 31, 2009: NitNeil Partners LLC is pleased to announce the acquisition of Locks Inn Mini Storage in Roswell, Georgia for $3,600,000.  The property consists of 51,000 square feet of self-storage, secure RV and Boat Parking, and 1,500 square feet of neighborhood retail space.  The property is well situated in the Crabapple sub market within the city of Roswell, but is in close proximity to both the Alpharetta and Milton jurisdictions.  Nancy Miller from Bull Realty brokered the transaction and debt financing was provided by Branch Banking & Trust Company (BB&T).

Despite the challenges facing the commercial real estate sector, NitNeil Partners has been actively acquiring self-storage properties. “Our philosophy has not changed; equity in real estate is derived from recurring cash flow, asset appreciation and principal pay down.  We will continue to acquire properties in high growth submarkets using conservative financial leverage” says partner, Neil Sapra.

The Locks Inn transaction represents the seventh acquisition for the Company in 2008 and 2009.  The Company owns and operates approximately 600,000 SF of self-storage space in Alabama and Georgia, which is managed under its operating subsidiary, The Storage Neighbor (www.storageneighbor.com).
