Self Storage by the Numbers

Why Self Storage is a solid investment

There’s no sexy reason, but behind those locked rolling doors is a $38 billion-dollar industry. One that’s been the best performing commercial real estate class for 40 years and running. With consistent, stable cash flow from rental income, low operating costs and overhead, and the ability to flip a unit with just a broom and a dust pan, self-storage can help investors quickly compound wealth and grow net worth.
