A Brief History on Storage Mobile AL

Self-storage property is defined as property which is made and used for the purpose of leasing or renting individual storage spaces to the clients or customers for the purpose of removing or storing personal property on the self-service basis. Self storage property is alternatively known as mini-storage, and is comprised of small units ranging in size from 20 to 500 sq. ft. The small units are typically leased by customers on a monthly basis, and some of the units may be climate controlled. Public storage is a facility that includes an operating business that provides warehousing storage and service for multiple customers. Storage Mobile AL is typically either categorized as a type of industrial warehouse property, or is considered a special purpose facility. Self storage property may also contain storage yards which generally consist of a plot of land enclosed by a high fence or other screening for the purpose of external storage of equipment, parts, vehicles, or materials.

Personal storage has its origins in ancient China 6,000 years ago where people stored their belongings in clay pots in public underground storage pits. During the Great Depression, moving and furniture companies began sideline storage operations for large appliances that were repossessed or unclaimed. The initial development for space /person is relative to the current population in the primary competitive market area. This estimate should then he compared with the existing supply of units. Square footage per capita is not infallible, as some communities can absorb more storage space than others given the tendency to own recreational equipment, and the lack of basements or enclosed garages for residential property in a given market area. Other demographic factors such as the age of the population, the mobility rate of the population, the employment status and the income level of the population, are other important considerations.

Unless there are third party service providers in a given market that concentrate on Storage Mobile AL occupancy, rental and expense rate information, obtaining current market estimates is often problematic. Investors, appraisers, and lenders often find themselves calling market participants in order to survey the current situation in a given area. The absence of quality third party information sources for self storage, especially for properties outside of metro markets, has led to lenders showing caution in approving new, “out of the ground” self storage projects. If an investor is adding a second or third phase to a given facility, lenders may be more willing to provide financing if the existing units provide at least break-even debt coverage ability, where existing NOI is equal to debt service on the loan.
