An investor runs two storage facilities spending under 15 hours a month while maintaining high occupancy and steady cash flow. Once systems stabilize, self-storage requires far less work than residential real estate, making it a low-maintenance income source.

I, the beginning, the transition pieces and getting your facility up and running right is obviously more time-consuming than anything. But once everything's stabilized, once you have your systems in place, once the transition's complete, it really is not much work at all. So on these 2 facilities, I probably spend less than 15 hours a month on managing them, and they're doing very well. And the occupancy's high, the money's coming in, and I can't complain. It's very different from my residential real estate investing life. Lifestyle, that's for sure.
