Self Storage Tip 💡 💰
Property V Self Storage
Ever wondered why so many property investors are jumping into self storage?
I loovvveee comparing property and self storage returns—because the numbers (and the stories) speak for themselves.
Also, a lot of my close mates are in property, and it’s great comparing notes :-)
Here’s what I’m seeing:
More and more property investors are taking our program and opening self storage facilities.
When I ask, “Which investment is better?”—every single one says self storage.
And before you say it Yes, self storage can be more hands-on… but with the increasing tech that’s out there, it is making it a lot more hands-off. With the right systems and automation, it’s way less work than most people think.
My favourite part of this newsletter ….
Let’s Compare the Numbers
Property (UK):
Self Storage:
The Self Storage Association reports operators are hitting returns of 41%—that’s 10X higher than property.
Some of my own sites are hitting over 50% returns! That’s nuts!!
So why the Big Difference? Here are 3 answers for you
Higher returns (and more predictable cash flow)
Sellable asset: Once you’re profitable, you can sell your facility for 3-5X profit
Scalable: With automation, it doesn’t have to eat up your time
You just don’t get that kind of upside with traditional property investing.
So, Which Is Best… Property or Self Storage?
Errrr ……
SELF STORAGE. 👏🏻🥳
