Frequently Asked Questions
Are self-storage facilities eligible for 1031 exchanges?
Yes. Self-storage facilities qualify as like-kind replacement property in a 1031 exchange, provided they are held for investment.

What makes self-storage attractive for 1031 exchange investors?
Self-storage offers recession-resistant demand, low operating costs relative to other commercial property types, diversified tenant bases with hundreds of individual leases, and strong cash-on-cash returns. The asset class has low tenant improvement costs and month-to-month lease structures that allow operators to quickly adjust rents to market rates. For Washington DC investors completing a 1031 exchange, self-storage provides stable income with meaningful upside potential through operational improvements and rate optimization.
What should I look for in a self-storage replacement property?
Key factors include physical occupancy rates, economic occupancy, revenue per available square foot, unit mix (climate-controlled versus drive-up), market saturation within a three-to-five mile radius, and management quality. For 1031 exchange buyers, we prioritize facilities with stabilized occupancy above 85 percent, proven operating histories with verified T-12 financials, and locations in growing markets with limited new supply. We source self-storage properties in all 50 states for Washington DC investors on exchange timelines.
