<p>I don&#8217;t want to offend anyone, but I won&#8217;t mince words either. Renting storage space is throwing money into a bottomless pit! There, I said it!</p>
<p>Chances are, since you are reading this page, you already know this. In the East Texas area, our surveys indicate that the payments for renting storage space, and the payments for renting to own an equal amount of storage space are in the same ball park, but that is where the comparison ends.</p>
<p>When you rent a building to own it, at the end of your monthly payments, you own a building which can be used for many purposes, including, of course, storage. Heck, if you decide to live somewhere else, the building will add value to your property, or you can take it with you! After all, they are &#8220;portable&#8221; buildings. When you pay rented self storage at one of those rental places, you have nothing to look forward to but more payments, and when you move your things out, you have zip to show for all that rent!</p>
<h3>Top 10 reasons to buy instead of self storage rental:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Price. Buying is cheaper! This is always the case of the long term, and is often true in the short term as well.</li>
<li>Ownership. You will actually own the building. It will be yours forever, to do with as you wish.</li>
<li>Property value. The building will add value to your property above the cost of the building itself.</li>
<li>Portability. The building is &#8220;portable&#8221;, and can be moved if you decide to relocate.</li>
<li>Convenience. You don&#8217;t have to drive across town just to get something out of storage.</li>
<li>Fuel savings. Depending on the price of fuel when you happen to be reading this, and the distance you have to travel, the savings can be a buck or two, or whole lot more. Either way, it will cost you less.</li>
<li>Time savings. Who can put a value on your time? If you travel across your lawn instead of across town, you will have more time to do the things you want to do.</li>
<li>Use ability. Once it is yours, the building can be used for any purpose you desire, storage, workshop, etc.</li>
<li>Safety. When you drive, you take your life in your own hands, we all have to do it, but why do more than needed?</li>
<li>Peace of mind. You will just sleep better at night knowing your possessions  are on your property, and under your care.</li>
</ol>
<p>There are dozens of other reasons, and I am sure you can come up with a few of youe own. If you want to do so, you are welcome to post them to the comments section.</p>
