Why invest in self-storage real estate?

Both self-storage and boat and RV storage properties are increasing in popularity. The Texas population is booming, and there’s never been a better time to maximize your earning potential by purchasing an established self-storage facility.

Steady growth: Self-storage has consistently grown over time—even during economic downturns. There are no performance guarantees, but many property owners consider self-storage a resilient investment.

Attractive yields: Self-storage real estate has low overhead costs and is increasing in demand. Managed well, self-storage real estate often comes with attractive returns.

Diversification: Even the most diversified investment portfolio can benefit from adding real estate. Self-storage properties give you a unique diversification opportunity, unlike anything you’ll find in traditional commercial real estate.

What to know before buying

Self-storage properties are a fantastic opportunity for low-overhead investments, but there are several factors to consider before buying property.

Zoning and licensing: Check zoning regulations for the property you want to buy. While it should be completely vetted, it’s good to know if you need additional licenses or permits.
Market analysis: What is the self-storage market like in the area surrounding the property? Consider supply and demand, competition, and the local economy to pick the best property. It’s also a good idea to conduct a complete feasibility study and financial projections to ensure the area can support a profitable self-storage business.
Financing options: Understand your options for financing your property purchase. This might include conventional bank loans, SBA loans, or institutional debt. Allow us to connect you with Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation to explore your options.
