Why some Parking Garage Operators pay more than others for Garage Keepers

Within the real-estate operator segment, the biggest cost movers for Garage Keepers are well-documented. In rough order of impact, the most material factors are:

• Number of units / location count
• Habitational claim history (slip-fall, water, fire)

The first three of those typically explain 60-70% of the spread between a low-end and high-end premium on otherwise comparable operations.
