I had a friend who almost missed out on a great property, it’s a good thing he asked about storage first. A lot of people are under the mistaken option that storage is expensive, and that it would just be better to get rid of stuff that you don’t really need. A friend of mine who recently moved had a rather special, if perhaps not unique problem: He wanted to buy a property three states away, and he wanted to build a house on it. The home he was moving from was a rental, and he really couldn’t afford to hold on to it while building his new house.
The plan was to buy the lot, move to a small place near the new house, then move into the new house once enough of it was built. The problem was that there wouldn’t be enough space for all his families’ furniture at a place small enough for them to afford. A lot of their furniture was rather pricey and very tasteful, and he and his wife really couldn’t imagine letting go of it. Not wanting to give up on the dream property though, my friend asked about storage, and was pleasantly surprised at what he found. Storage prices turned out to be a fraction of what he would have needed to pay to hold on to his old rented home. It makes sense: At a storage facility, items can be stored to maximize space, so they can be made to fit into a much smaller and thus more affordable space. It will certainly beat having to refurnish a home, especially if you have already grown attached to the stuff you own.
