Frequently Asked Questions

Why is self storage considered recession-resistant?

Self storage demand remains stable during recessions because people downsize homes, relocate for employment, or store belongings during transitions. During economic growth, consumers accumulate possessions requiring storage. This counter-cyclical dynamic provides consistent demand regardless of economic conditions.

What makes a self storage location successful in Los Angeles?

Successful Los Angeles self storage locations feature high population density, limited competition, strong residential demographics, and convenient access. Properties near apartment complexes, in transitioning neighborhoods, or along major commuter routes typically achieve superior occupancy and rental rates.

How does self storage compare to other property types for 1031 exchanges?

Self storage offers higher operating margins than most property types due to low maintenance requirements and minimal tenant improvements. Month-to-month leases enable rapid rate adjustments to capture market growth, while automated operations reduce management burden for passive investors.

What technology features are important for modern self storage facilities?

Modern self storage facilities feature automated kiosks, mobile app access, security cameras, climate control, and revenue management software. These technologies reduce staffing costs, enhance customer experience, and optimize rental rates based on real-time market demand.
