Starting a business can often be a challenging process.  Finding the right piece of real estate can be long and drawn out process.  The storage business is getting more and more competitive and location is extremely important.  Building storage buildings near apartment complexes is always a good idea.  Most people moving want to store their things near their future residences.  The other problem that needs to be addressed is self storage funding . Getting investors to help financially can be the most difficult part of starting a storage business. 
Putting together a good presentation with financial goals and projections can help persuade potential investors.  To find self storage funding you first need to find a good building that can be converted, or a new design.  Building with sheet metal is the typical material used to construct storage units.  Sheet metal is fairly cheap and the other materials including concrete are also inexpensive.  The overhead involved in building storage units is pretty small considering the profit that can be made from it. 
Owning a storage facility makes sense in any type of housing market, whether people are buying houses or renting more, they are moving a lot.  It seems like it would be a little bit better when the housing market is bad because more previous home owners are not renting.  If the proper research is done a self storage business can be very profitable and rewarding with little maintenance costs.  Buying additional products is a good way to bring in extra money and can help cover the cost of employees.
