Container-Based Mini Storage

Thinking of starting a mini-storage business?
Containers make great units for mini-storage facilities for several reasons:

  • Lower cost per square foot than permanent buildings.
  • Ability to add units as they rent out.
  • Each unit is entirely separate and very secure.
  • High residual value. New shipping containers have a 20+ year lifespan away from salt water. The resale market is strong, and depreciation rates are low.
