The world of self-storage investments is much more complex than most initially believe it to be. In years past, it was a business of “build it and they will come”, which has transitioned to “build it and IF THEY NEED IT they will come”. The leading characterization of market shift is the convergence of higher barriers to entry and increased competition. The site selection process is more critical of an element than ever before, and given land costs, zoning and parcel availability, it is the toughest part of the job of all self-storage developers.

This has created specific and tougher demands on the novice self-storage developers. Site selection and due diligence efforts require more effort and science than ever before. Let the experts at Coast-To-Coast advise you on an acquisition strategy or due diligence. Call us today at 877 622-5508 Extension 81.
