Self-storage has become a popular option for many Americans, with 40% of people renting self-storage units.

The average return on self-storage investments has been impressive, making it an attractive option for investors. Additionally, self-storage can serve as an inflation hedge, as rents can be adjusted monthly. Intelligent companies are tapping into underutilized commercial properties to create self-storage centers with high potential for returns.
