The political climate of that area and the laws that favor tenants rights over land lord rights or the general lawlessness going on right now would be enough for me to want to move my business elsewhere. 

Because the Fort Myers/Naples area tends to be more upscale, I'm seeing a lot of self storage companies converting portions of their buildings into wine storage and climate controlled vehicle storage which may be one of the ways that they're trying to diversify and break into new market share.

Tennessee is seeing a boom because of it's business friendly climate and no state income tax, but Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis, Jackson and Johnson City are all different markets. 

In FL, I imagine that climate control is essential, as is pest control. 

Make good investments no matter the market climate and you'll do fine.

I live in Northen MD and just today found out one Extra Storage location (801 Long Dr, Aberdeen MD) is doing $18 for 5'X6 and $42 for a 8'X10', indoor elevator accessed, climate-controlled taking over its competitors' business.

Realistically speaking, for those of us who have been through the process up in colder climates, you will know that judges are invariably far more hesitant to evict in winter months if alternative housing looks like it can't be arranged.

Everywhere is different in the way they respond to and regulate short term rentals so you need to know the climate in that particular area.

BTW, I'm pretty sure I never slept through my Econ 101 class but that's just because I don't even remember taking it :)-  I'm no expert, just trying to make wise decisions given the current climate.

Maybe Dorne with it's warmer climate?
