Mary,

There’s a guy named Chuck (the 55+guy) on the MH board that does, or did this. You could post your question there as well, or search the archives there at least. HTH

Has anyone invested in this? If so, how has it worked for you? Thanks, Mary

We have invested in a storage facility consisting of 30 (1 car garage size) and 15 (2 car garage size) units. We bought this about 5 years ago. To our surprise, we have many renters that have leased the units over 1 year. Right now we have about 15% vacancy rate, and show a little cash flow. What we have noticed though, is that the land price has extremely appreciated to almost 5 times over what we bought for. Unless we sell this business, we have not made much money, but on paper, it has done very well.
