Why Invest in Self-Storage?
Self-storage has proven itself to be one of the most resilient and profitable commercial real estate investments, offering steady demand, high-margin returns, and lower risk compared to traditional asset classes.
Consistent Consumer Demand
Life transitions drive self-storage usage. Regardless of economic conditions, people move, downsize, divorce, or inherit property; businesses consolidate or relocate. All these events create a recurring, steady need for storage solutions—even in downturns.
Lower Operating Costs & Less Turnover Risk
Compared to other commercial real estate, such as office buildings or retail spaces, self-storage facilities typically have lower operating expenses and fewer capital expense requirements. Additionally, smaller individual units help diversify risk—vacancy in a few units doesn’t significantly hurt overall revenue.
Strong Retention & Steady Cash Flow
Once items are in storage, tenants are often reluctant to remove them—especially if monthly rates aren’t excessively high. This inertia leads to higher retention and relatively stable cash flow. Even in a recession, many tenants will maintain their units rather than face the costs and hassles of moving their items elsewhere.
