Self Storage Tip 💡 💰

“What 14 Years of Self Storage Obsession Taught Me (So You Don’t Have to Learn the Hard Way)”

I’ve read every book, listened to every podcast, scoured every blog, and paid just about every self storage consultant in the UK and US for their advice.

Here are the 5 biggest things I’ve learned—so you can skip the hard yards:

1. Self Storage Won’t Make You Rich Quick—But It Will Make You Wealthy Long-Term

   It’s not an overnight success story, but if you run it right, it’s very hard to fail. 🤑
    

2. The UK Has a MASSIVE Opportunity (But Not Forever)

   We’re about 10 years behind the US.

   Some US states have over 15 sq ft per capita—here in the UK, we’re under 1 sq ft! 😳

   Translation: There’s room to grow, but saturation will come.
    

3. Demand Is Outpacing Supply

   Year after year, demand for self storage grows faster than supply.

   With homes shrinking and awareness rising, I only see demand going up. 🙌
    

4. Container Sites = Best Way to Start

   Low cost, brilliant ROI and cash-on-cash returns—if you pick the right spot. 🧐

   (Pssst… my program shows you how to find the perfect site. Shameless plug! Message me if you want in 🤪)
    

5. Less Than 1 Sq Ft Per Capita? That’s Your Signal

   If a town has less than 1 sq ft of storage per capita, it’s a green light. ✅
   (My program shows you how to measure this, too. Getting good at these plugs! 😂)

   Pro tip: Don’t forget to include your new units in the calculation!

Bottom Line:

The more I learn about self storage, the more I see what an amazing opportunity we have. 🥰

Quick Challenge:

Check your local market’s sq ft per capita—Is there room for you to open
Reply and let me know what you find, or if you want help figuring it out!
