Self Storage vs Multifamily

Self-storage can be a better option than multifamily if someone needs to store belongings or items that they don’t have space for in their home or apartment. Self-storage units can provide additional space for a variety of needs, such as business inventory or seasonal items, without the expense of renting a larger living space. Additionally, self-storage can offer greater flexibility in terms of access and usage, as tenants can typically come and go as they please.

 

Self Storage for the Newbie 

For someone new in real estate who wants to get into self-storage, it’s important to research the market, consider the location, evaluate the facility, develop a solid business plan, seek advice from experts, and consider partnering with a self-storage operator. This is the best way for new investors to maximize the potential return on investment in the self-storage market. This also helps new investors increase their chances of success in the self-storage industry.
