This really depends on what your looking to do however for a very basic overview far west side is great, downtown and very close to the Cleveland Clinic, Little Italy, Tremont, and Ohio City are still great areas.

@Luke Spencer I am not on the management side but I can tell you it took 2+ years to fill 300 units at one of our facilities and the other just hit 300 units in 12/13 months so it really depends on the demographics, and local housing market trend, the more people moving in and out the higher the demand for storage.I think if you're looking at a saturated market then the upfront cash to turn the warehouse into self storage is not a good idea but then again, maybe those operators are on back roads ( low visibility ) and don't push google ads well.

@Michael Whitman , it would totally depend on the company, but you make a great point.

Hi Saul, it depends on what you're looking for - cash flow or appreciation?

@Peter Tverdov it depends on going wages in your marketplace.I would imagine labor costs are much higher in NJ than in MI.

You have to make sure that whatever company you choose will maximize your profits. 

Depending on how much money you're willing to pay, it might make more financial sense to use another platform.

@Jordyn OhsThis is a loaded question as it really depends.
