When I loan privately as a private lender, I have complete risk of my capital, I make all decisions and I suffer the consequences or rewards of my actions!  

That way you kind of hedge your bets (aka Risk/Reward).Self Storage is historically Recession-Resistant as it has everything to do with Death, Divorce, Down-sizing, Dislocation, etc. - things that are prevalent in normal times and certainly, in not-so-normal-times, too.However, RV & Boat Storage is similar but different, in that approx 1 out of 10 folks in the USA rents a Self Storage Unit, and that is not the case with Boats & RV's; hence it being a much more niche strategy. 

We didn't just change that, we flipped it on it's head because if you can do a remote CA tech job, man-alive your going to be rewarded if live in a say a rural SD town.

Risk reward.
