Self-Storage for Property Investors

For investors who want a business, not just rent

Self-storage appeals to investors who want operating margins and a business rather than rent from a single household. This book explains why the strategy exists, since people and businesses accumulate more than their space can hold, and who it genuinely suits. It is straight with you that self-storage is an operating business rather than a hands-off investment, and asks you to assess honestly whether you have the temperament and resources it rewards before you sign for a building. You will see the four moving parts of a self-storage business in plain terms, what you genuinely need to begin and which barriers beginners misjudge, and a step-by-step plan for your first ninety days. A chapter on the mistakes that cost beginners the most shows what to avoid, and the book ends with the economics you must work out next, because the headline figures in storage mislead almost everyone. Next in this series: “Storage Unit Economics”.
