Jeesh! I had no idea renting a storage unit was so expensive!! Just
got done calling the closest 2 storage facilities (in proximity to our
house) and the one is $100/month (5% discount 6 months paid in
advance; 10% discount 12 months paid in advance), and the other is
running a special of $85/month (normally $95) now thru the end of
August, I believe she said. This is for a 10x25 garage-type indoor
storage unit to store a 17' boat/trailer in. The one place also offers
outdoor storage for $1.50/linear foot/month, with a minum of $35/
month. Which is great, but not the safest/most secure. We don't have a
pole building or anything, and I don't really care to have a boat/
trailer parked outside my house year-round, so if DH ends up buying
this boat he's looking at, we need to figure out where to put it.

I haven't called the marina to ask them, but I'm sure it's probably
more expensive than the storage units!

This may help you as you can get prices from various States and regions:

Wow...I could clean up operating a boat storage lot!


If you buy real estate on speculation of a high demand for the property in
the future you are wise to construct low cost storage units on the land
while waiting for the land price to go up.



I'm more than a little familiar with the concepts of land speculation. :}
