What a great idea Gav. I wonder why it hadn't been discussed before?

In another life before my business partner decided to have a divorce at the same time as the GFC started, I used to own 2 storage complexes. The quotes your first mentioned sounded on the money 100 to 150 per month. Most self storage places that have van storage have it in areas that they are waiting to develop into self storage units, which over the same floor space will return much more.


I have looked at truck and van storage a number of times, the land is just too expensive to make it happen, in major built up areas. Some people do it as a land bank and sell the land to a developer later on or build something on the land later. The last one I saw like this was a farm before and is now a housing estate. They had about 200 hundred vans in a paddock before it was developed.


There have been some good ideas here about asking people with spare yard space etc. Otherwise, move to acreage.
