Why 2025 is the Year to Think Outside the (Storage) Box! 📦
Happy 2025!! Hope you’re having a wonderful start to the new year! 🎉
I spent the last month of 2024 in beautiful, sunny and warm Florida! It was so nice to spend an extended period of time there, “living like a local”, and I finally got to experience the holidays surrounded by palm trees, sunshine and the beach! 🏝 😎
It was also a great setting to reflect on all that happened during 2024 and to plan ahead for all the exciting projects and goals that I am working on in 2025.
My real-estate investing journey has evolved as I am now moving into the commercial real-estate space, with self-storage investing being my focus. Why the switch? Let me break it down for you:
Why Commercial Real Estate Over Residential? 🏦
- Bigger Opportunities, Bigger Rewards: While residential real estate is a solid foundation, commercial real estate offers scalability and higher income potential. With larger properties come larger revenue streams and greater economies of scale. Imagine owning one commercial property that generates income equivalent to several single-family homes – it’s a game changer!
- Valuation Advantages: Commercial properties are valued based on the income they produce, not just comparable sales in the area. This gives us more control over increasing property value by improving operations and boosting revenue.
Why Self-Storage? 📦
Self-storage is one of the most recession-resistant asset classes. Whether the economy is booming or slowing down, people always need storage—for downsizing, life transitions, or simply decluttering. And with minimal operating costs and consistent demand, self-storage offers a steady cash flow that’s hard to beat.
Here are a few more reasons I love self-storage:
- Low Overhead: No tenants to manage, no leaky faucets or toilets to fix! Self-storage facilities run efficiently with less hassle.
- High Demand: With growing populations and the rise of remote work, people need more space than ever before.
- Great Returns: Self-storage consistently delivers strong returns on investment, outpacing many other real estate sectors.

I am looking forward to this new chapter in my investing journey and for all the other fun projects I’ll be working on in 2025, which I will be sharing with you along the way.
