Storage units are no longer just for storage. They're becoming income-generating spaces. A new study from SpareFoot shows that 28% of renters are using storage units for side hustles, earning an average of $646 per month. From reselling to small-scale production, renters are turning these spaces into business hubs. For real estate investors, this trend signals growing demand for flexible, low-cost space. It also highlights the evolving role of self-storage as more than just a passive asset. In this episode, we break down what's driving this shift, how it impacts occupancy and pricing, and what self-storage owners should watch moving forward.

Newly revealed records show that Jeffrey Epstein rented multiple secret storage lockers in the U.S., including in Palm Beach, and filled them with a disturbing array of items that he apparently tried to hide from law enforcement. According to an inventory obtained by reporters, the units contained computers and hard drives, video tapes and DVDs with erotic content — including material' said to sexualize teenagers — plus nude photographs believed to depict women connected to his circle. Sex-slave training manuals, dozens of address books, a three-page list of Florida masseuses, cash, and personal items such as women's lingerie and sex toys were also catalogued in the stash.Investigators and critics say Epstein may have used private detectives to move these potentially incriminating materials from his homes to the storage units before police executed a 2005 raid on his Palm Beach mansion, suggesting he was tipped off ahead of time. Financial records show he leased at least six such lockers between 2003 and up through the year of his death in 2019. It remains unclear whether the FBI ever searched all of the units, meaning some contents could still be unexamined. The revelations emerged amid the broader release of millions of pages of files tied to Epstein's activities, sparking renewed scrutiny of what evidence may still be hidden from authorities.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Chilling contents of Epstein's secret storage lockers revealed as paedo hid vid tapes & sex slave manuals away from cops

Dublin City Council is pleased to announce the BikeBunkers service to provide secure bicycle storage units for residents. The service is designed to make cycling more convenient and help address one of the biggest challenges for urban cyclists, the lack of secure and accessible bike storage close to home. This milestone follows the success of a pilot project, where 12 bike bunkers were installed in selected residential areas to test demand and gather feedback. The results were overwhelmingly positive; every unit was fully subscribed, and residents strongly supported expanding the programme. Building on this success, Dublin City Council has developed a comprehensive framework to deliver up to 300 BikeBunkers across the city. The framework will run for 10 years, with an initial 4-year service contract. Following a competitive procurement process, Bleeper has been appointed as the operator to commission, deliver, install, maintain, and service the BikeBunkers. This will be a budget-friendly, subsidised service supported by Dublin City Council, making secure bike parking more accessible to residents across the city. Visit BikeBunkers.ie to explore the service in detail and find out how to register. Lord Mayor of Dublin Councillor Ray McAdam said, "I'm delighted to see BikeBunkers rolling out across Dublin. This is a real win for communities, tackling one of the biggest barriers to cycling by giving people safe, secure bike storage close to home. BikeBunkers will make cycling easier and safer for Dubliners, giving people the confidence to use their bikes every day without worrying about theft or storage. Rolling out BikeBunkers across the city is a real boost for communities and a practical step in making Dublin a truly cycle-friendly capital" Jennifer McGrath, Head of Road Safety and Micromobility Unit, Dublin City Council, said. "This service is about giving people practical support to cycle more in their daily lives. By providing secure, affordable bike storage in residential areas, Dublin City Council is helping communities embrace cycling as a convenient, reliable, and sustainable way to get around." "Bleeper has been meeting the needs of Dublin's cycling community since our shared bikes launched in 2018, and we're delighted to bring that wealth of expertise to the BikeBunkers service", says Hugh Cooney, CEO of Bleeper. "We understand how important it is to have secure cycle parking, and we're excited to be working with Dublin City Council to bring BikeBunkers to neighbourhoods across the city." New BikeBunkers will begin to arrive in neighbourhoods across Dublin by the end of 2025, and residents can register their interest in using a Bike Bunker by completing a short form on the website BikeBunkers.ie. This project marks a significant step forward in creating a more sustainable and cycle-friendly Dublin.

One in 10 Australians use a storage unit - and these figures are pretty consistent for our US listeners. Storage units can fill a gap, meet a need, and save you when you're in a bind... but left unattended their cost can far outweigh the benefit.Before you put things into storage, ask yourself some questions- Does that value of this item justify spending thousands of dollars per year to store it?- How will I feel about this item in 2-3 years when I've invested so much more money to keep it?- Would I be better off donating these items and just repurchasing them in the future if I really need them?Once you have a storage unit, see if these questions help you make the next right steps- Could I consolidate my storage unit into a smaller space to save money?- If I go through and declutter what I no longer need, could I save money by downsizing my storage unit or eliminate my need for it?- What else could I do with the money I'm currently spending on storage?Thanks to Prudence Madigan from Shift Your Storage for the helpful conversation and professional insightsJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

Https://fixit-Radio.com kicks off with John Rush and Larry Unger tackling a deceptively simple question—why do we cling to so much “stuff”? Last week's episode ignited a flood of responses: listeners emptied storage units, reclaimed garages, and even confronted habits that had followed them for decades. But here's the real challenge—are we saving memories, or just hoarding junk? From forgotten washers in the basement to boxes of memorabilia no one ever looks at, John dares you to face the truth: what are you really holding onto, and why? And even if you clear it all out, how do you stop the cycle from starting all over again? What if the keepsakes you treasure aren't worth the square footage they consume? John reveals how a simple photo can preserve a memory without the clutter and asks the tough question: is it truly valuable, or just sentimental? Every square inch of your home comes with a price tag—so why pay more to store junk than it's even worth? From scanning old papers to tossing rusty bolts and flathead screws, John lays down rules for cutting through the chaos. Could letting go of the unnecessary actually unlock more freedom than you realize? And when it comes to the endless piles of hardware, how do you know what stays and what goes? John sets the rules: only keep grade five or above, toss anything rusty, painted, or used, and stop drowning in buckets of “someday” parts you'll never need. Yet he reminds us—some things, like zip ties, are always worth saving. The question you're left with is bigger than nuts and bolts: are you in control of your stuff… or is your stuff controlling you? Want the answers? Tune in, and find out.

Summary: In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, Beth Dodson and John Bodrozic dive into a topic you might not think about often — what's hiding inside your storage unit or other outbuildings? Whether it's transitional moves, seasonal gear, heirlooms, or forgotten treasures, too many people lose track of what they own simply because it's out of sight. Beth and John break down why it's critical to inventory your storage units, sheds, barns, or other structures — and how doing so can save you money, protect your investments, and ease the burden on your family in the future. They share real-life stories (including some pretty wild finds!), practical tips for getting started with a simple photo inventory, and why HomeZada makes managing all these spaces easier than ever. You'll also hear how taking just a few hours upfront can prevent the costly mistakes of duplicate purchases, lost heirlooms, and even unwanted appearances on shows like Storage Wars! This is a must-listen if you have any kind of off-site or extra storage — and even if you think you don't! Chances are, you've got more stored away than you realize.
