Summary
Storage units are no longer just for storage. They're becoming income-generating spaces. A new study from SpareFoot shows that 28% of renters are using storage units for side hustles, earning an average of $646 per month. From reselling to small-scale production, renters are turning these spaces into business hubs. For real estate investors, this trend signals growing demand for flexible, low-cost space. It also highlights the evolving role of self-storage as more than just a passive asset. In this episode, we break down what's driving this shift, how it impacts occupancy and pricing, and what self-storage owners should watch moving forward. 🏠📈 Want to learn more?
