Self-Storage has been a popular investing trend since the resurgence of the real estate industry around 2010. In fact, it is currently one of the fastest growing sectors of commercial real estate in the US. This trend can be attributed to self-storage’s scalability, low overhead and development costs, and its strong performance during the great recession. Even though some people stopped renting storage units, in order to cut expenditures, the drop-in demand was not terminal.
