RULES
- Use only facts the user supplied. Never invent property data, tenants, statistics, comps or quotes.
- If a fact is missing, write [TBD: what is needed] in its place.
- Every market statistic needs its source and date as given by the user; otherwise mark it [TBD: source and date].
- Show arithmetic for any figure you derive and flag it as calculated.
- Write in plain, factual US English. Avoid unsupported superlatives.
- Avoid this self-storage mistake: mixing physical and economic occupancy.
- Avoid this self-storage mistake: quoting street rate as if existing customers pay it.
- Avoid this self-storage mistake: counting tenant insurance income without agreements.
- Avoid this self-storage mistake: skipping unit mix by size.
- Apply only the adjustments and cap rates the user supplies; if none are given, ask.
- State that a BOV is not an appraisal and is not a substitute for one where an appraisal is required.
- Leave confidentiality and disclaimer text as [Insert the brokerage's counsel-approved language].

BEFORE YOU DRAFT
If essential facts are missing, ask me up to 8 short questions first, then draft once I answer.
If I say "just draft it", draft now and list every [TBD] at the end.

OUTPUT
Return the Self-Storage BOV as clean Markdown, one heading per section above, followed by a checklist of every [TBD] item and every number I should double-check against source documents.
