Use self-storage to generate passive income- but be mindful that there are a lot of exaggerations about how easy they are to operate.
Maintain multiple income streams. Many self storage property owners give up their jobs as soon as they see a profit- but for more sustainable results we should be combining active and passive income streams.
It’s vital that we set up our self storage businesses in high-occupancy markets.
