Synopsis

Simple Buildings. Monthly Rent. Income You Can Measure to the Dollar.

Self-storage is one of the most durable business models in real estate: hundreds of small, month-to-month customers, low-maintenance buildings, and a site that can run with one employee—or none. But the easy years are over. New supply and softer rents in many markets now reward disciplined operators and punish guesswork.

This fully revised and expanded edition gives you the numbers, tools, and checklists to build, buy, or convert a facility—and run it profitably in today's market, not yesterday's.

Inside, You'll Discover:

• How to size up a market before you spend a dime, using supply-per-capita data, competitor rent surveys, and a simple go/no-go checklist
• A complete worked example of a 60,000-square-foot facility, followed from rent roll to NOI, loan, valuation, and exit—with every calculation shown
• Build, buy, or convert: real costs, timelines, and the traps hidden in each path
• How lenders really size loans (LTV vs. DSCR), when SBA 7(a) and 504 loans fit, and why higher rates shrink your proceeds
• Real, documented case studies—former Kmart stores turned into storage by U-Haul and an Extra Space–managed owner, plus urban models from Stuf, Clutter, and Manhattan Mini Storage
• Revenue management that works: street rates, existing-customer rate increases, tenant protection, and ancillary income
• Delinquency and lien sales done by the book, with the rental-agreement clauses that protect you
• The technology stack for automated and remote facilities: management software, smart access, kiosks, and online auctions
• Marketing that fills units—SEO, reviews, marketplaces, video, and the drone and texting rules most owners overlook
• Syndications and crowdfunding without securities mistakes
• Exit strategies: refinancing, 1031 exchanges, the return of 100% bonus depreciation, and selling to REITs in a consolidating industry

Who This Book Is For

• First-time investors who want to understand self-storage well enough to buy, build, or convert a first facility
• Landlords and business owners looking to diversify into a lower-maintenance real estate asset
• Current owners and operators who want higher occupancy, stronger pricing, and a better NOI
• Developers weighing conversions of empty retail, office, or industrial buildings
• Passive investors evaluating syndications, partnerships, or an eventual sale to institutional buyers

What's New in This Edition

Current rent, supply, and consolidation data; new coverage of lien laws, drone and texting rules, and securities limits; the federal tax changes affecting depreciation and energy deductions; and real case studies that replace the generic examples of earlier editions.

Plus a Quick Start plan for your first 30 days, 10 diagrams, 10 comparison tables, an underwriting checklist, a one-page summary, and a glossary of key terms.

You don't need decades of real estate experience or a big team. You need a clear plan—and the discipline to run the numbers honestly.

Build a business that earns every month. Grow it into a portfolio that lasts.
