What's the Self Storage Space Rental Business Like ?

[Lionel Fauquier]

I've always found the idea of renting self storage space appealing , so I thought it would be useful to get the opinions of people familiar with this type of business .


Is this type more of a headache causer or a joy causer ? Does it come with more or less red tape/legal ramifications as opposed to ( for example ) renting commercial storage space ? Do the profit margins tend to be ( generally speaking ) low or high ?

Also is there any essential and/or good reading material that anyone would like to recommend to a total newbie ?

I know a guy that owns storage units and he loves it. He wanted to expand but the city won't let him. I also have another friend that owns covered storage for rv's and he loves it. I've never talked with them about the business itself.
