Storage Shed Ownership vs. Storage Rental
Posted by Alan Bernau Jr on Sat, Jun 26, 2010
Which do you think is better owning a Storage Building or renting a storage unit?
I want to point out a few things to think about.
Did you know that the average storage rental unit fee is $75 a month. That is $900 a year. Did you know you can own a 10' x 14' Storage Shed for about $2,000. So in a little over two years time you can own a Shed.
Example: $75 / month rental fee
x 26 / months rental usage

$1950.00 / Wow, you could own a shed!
Storage Sheds are also portable. Many landlords allow Portable Sheds to be placed on the property and when the tenant leaves they can take the building with them.
Lets not miss the convenience factor. You need something from storage it is right in your own back yard. You have easy access to your belongings 24/7. Your belongings are also protected by your own watchful eye. No one can take care of your personal property like you can.
Now lets talk about rent-to-own. A lot of people seem to be attracted to this, but I wonder how many people know they are paying for the Shed twice, maybe even three times. Can you imagine! eek!
Just something to think about.
