Mini Storage Maxi Cost | The Large Cost of Small Storage
Mini storage, self storage or public storage, whatever you choose to call it, it is a huge and growing industry. Americans now spend billions annually on storage for the extra things that can’t live with us, but that we can’t live without. There are a lot of reasons for this. More home based businesses, down sizing our homes due to retirement, foreclosure or family size, are just a few of the reasons for the trend, and we expect to see even more movement in this area.
What concerns us is the practical side of this issue. The cost to the consumer. Money paid for rent on storage, is lost. It is gone for good. It often happens that the cost in storage fees, exceeds the actual value of the products being stored, and with mini storage, self storage or other forms of rented public storage, there is no dividend at the end. Consumers are spending billions, with nothing to look forward to but spending billions more! the expense doesn’t stop there! No, there are millions more spent on fuel driving back and forth to self storage facilities, and untold thousands of hours spent doing so! What a colossal waste of money time and energy!
Public storage: how to stop throwing money down a rent hole!
Public storage, or mini storage as it is sometimes called, is, you know, so mini, and so, well, so public! We think that storage should be private. Private, as in in the privacy of your own back yard, where you can get to it easily when you need to. And mini storage, well, why would you want to pay someone such a high price for what amounts to some inconvenient closet size space?
This situation is not the best option for consumers needing space. There is an option that will provide the consumer with high quality storage, at a reasonable price, and with an actual gain for the consumer. This is the purchase of a portable storage building or storage shed. You can buy a building more inexpensively than you can rent storage space. Most rent to own programs are set up with payments equal to or less than the cost of renting space. The major difference being, that you will own the building!
Other advantages include, but are not limited to:
Location. Most mini storage, or public storage facilities are not located in your back yard. Your portable storage building will be.
Time. You will not have to waste time driving across town to get to your public storage.
Economy. You will not have to waste fuel on trips to the self storage facility.
Even if you live in an apartment, you probably know someone who would let you buy a storage building and put it on their property. If you rent a house, your landlord would most likely allow you to have one placed on the property. You may need to have a waiver signed, but that is pretty easy to do as well.
