Self Storage Tip💡 💰
So yesterday I spoke about our 7th site that’s under Heads Of Terms
Today I am going to speak about the money that goes in to opening a self storage site
The Capital Expenses (set up costs), Asset Repayments, Mortgage Repayments, Basically every cost
Why I am doing this … Because I don’t think people talk about money enough
I think people are held back from opening a self storage site because of money BUT I want to show you it doesn’t cost the earth 🌍
I wish there was content available like this when I was starting up … It would certainly of stopped me making some silly mistakes 🤪
I am going to be purposely a little vague with the amounts … I don’t want someone to find out where the site is and beat me to the punch …
I know you awesome people wouldn’t do that 🤪
Right, so let’s start with the Cap Ex costs -
Planning
Signs
Grounds Work
Planning
Solicitor Fees
Utilities
CCTV
Lights
Access System
Total = £45k (You can asset finance a chunk of this if you needed to)
Right, on to the projections -
Below are my fixed costs
Mortgage
Rates
Utilities
Adds
Repayments of asset finance (We will be buying containers 10 at a time and then we don’t have to make a payment for 4 months)
Total - £10k Per Month
It will take us 10 months to be cashflow positive according to our projections (we will beat these though I’m sure)
Our total negative cashflow for those 9 months will be £28k
Our total cash outlay will be £73k
The site will cashflow around £25k in the early years (Like I said I think we will beat this)
So that’s a 34% cash on cash return ….
Not going to get me rich but that does include paying off the mortgage and containers
And not to mention the capital appreciation as well …
Because it’s an Op Co Prop Co the value will increase. 📈
I can then leverage that appreciation for other sites
So that’s it in a nutshell …
Remember you don’t have to be a multi-millionaire to open a self storage
Want me to teach you how to open a self storage facility??
I have a course
(Look at that smooth transition, I’m becoming a pro 😂)

“Your course was a bargain! Thank you!”
