Top 12 Reasons to Invest in a Storage Facility
- 1. The recession-resistant business that’s isolated from economic cycles:
- 2. Recurring monthly revenues: and the revenue is spread over several units so you always get cash flow
- 3. Can’t be phased out by technology: Most companies need to store documents, equipment, etc.
- 4. Typically have good occupancy: Look for areas where average occupancy is 80% and average 10x10 unit rents for $85 and that’s where you want to buy or build
- 5. Not expensive to build or maintain: This is due to the simplicity of the structure of storage facilities
- 6. Can be developed in undesirable locations (next to an airport, railroad, etc.)
- 7. 60% of occupants live within a five-mile radius. This is important so make sure you have good traffic and decent average income within a 5-mile radius
- 8. Most customers find your facility because of signage
- 9. Easy to evict non-payers (each state is slightly different but it is much less cumbersome than evicting occupants from an apartment building or a mobile home park)
- 10. Simple to manage – It is mostly automated
- 11. Many opportunities for ancillary income
- 12. Offer massive income potential based on added revenue opportunities from bigger units, to antennas on roof to hauling and trucking services, etc
