Is self storage easy to manage and operate?
Self storage often has one of the lowest expense ratios of real estate assets due to its minimal staffing requirements, simplified construction, and low turnover costs. By leveraging technology and online tools, self storage facilities can often be operated by a few key employees or even fully automated. The simplified construction of steel and concrete with reduced utilities results in lower ongoing maintenance. When a renter moves out, the turnover cost and process is not like a tenant moving out of an apartment; disposal and broom sweeping are all that are needed in most scenarios.
