We love getting this feedback from you all and addressing any questions you might have about self storage, because like most times, if you have a question about something, a lot of other people probably have the same or a similar question. This is exactly where today’s episode topic comes from - you guys. Today, we’re going to talk about how to invest in storage out of state. There are a lot of us that live in markets that are far from ideal and that don’t meet our investment criteria. That said, we end up having to look at markets outside of our own back yards. Thankfully for storage, once you’ve figured out how to identify a good deal in a good market, it doesn’t matter where that deal is located, it’s still a good deal! The only real hurdle is knowing how and having a plan to manage a facility that is not located in your same city or state. We’ll get into all this today and explain how to go about investing in storage out state.
