This is very interesting, Marshall - thanks for posting. I had to rent a storage facility a few weeks ago and was amazed to learn that there were 7 within one mile of my home! I hadn't even noticed because they just sort of blended into the cityscape. This, in turn, got me wondering about possible related business/investment opportunties.

Would you be willing to provide the source of the stats you included in your post?

Thanks,
Paul
 

I also had to rent a storage locker a few weeks back, I used www.storagespy.com and found that I had way more storage places near me than I could have ever dreamed. It's amazing.
 

Of course self-storage unites are very comfortable, as for me I move from one place to another very often now and I'd better keep something in storage then to move it every time
 

My name is Barbara Rogers, author of How to Make Boxes of Cash with Self-Storage Auctions. I decided to create a book to assist anyone who is interested in running a flexible, profitable self-storage auction business out of their home.

I felt it was important to share this valuable information with people, and to become the resource for those who need help getting it started. My book is a short read and provides step by step instructions for anyone to follow to become a successful business owner running a self-storage auction business.

Sometimes self storage is very useful, especially when you move from one place to another. But I've never thought that it becomes so popular now days. Thank you to author for numbers.
 

That first one is the best one I've seen in the thread so far.
 

I know people use self storage, but wow that's a lot! I guess people are buying more and have a hard time getting rid of things.
 

Self-storage units are very useful, if you ask me. Especially for the things you don't necessary need.
 

There are various reasons why people choose to rent a storage unit and among these is the guaranteed security that their priceless items will be protected. There are also those who move a lot and they want some of their things to be kept in just one place.
 

Hi! Keep it up! Thank you so much for sharing this interesting and informative post! You have such a great idea about this. This could help me out if I'll apply it to my business.
