Compare Self-Storage Steel Mini Storage Buildings to Other Real-Estate Investments!
If you own your own land and your facility is 80% (average) full, consider this: The average payoff for your loan is typically three and a half to four years including materials, labor and concrete. If you include the purchase of your land, this pay off can be around six years with the same occupancy rate.
One of the best ways to compare real-estate investments is to look at the past performance of self-storage and other real-estate investments during the past decade. National Development Services Inc. completed an in-depth study of the performance of multi-family, office, retail and self-storage developments in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado and Louisiana. This study found that the self-storage failure rates are only 8%; significantly lower than other real estate options.
The self-storage industry’s future is very bright and it will continue to mature along with the demand for its use. The advantages for investing in self-storage and mini-storage are numerous and will continue to be the key elements for its success.
