Over a 10-year period, self-storage real estate investment trusts have exploded, earning annualized returns north of 19.1%, as reported by SPGlobal. While there are numerous REIT sectors, including mortgage, industrial, healthcare, net lease and much more, self-storage has the highest 10-year return.

The rise in self-storage can be attributed to the needs of younger generations, such as millennials, looking for extra storage as they are cramped in their apartments. Not to mention, many retirees looking to travel may find it more cost-effective to have a storage unit and a smaller house in their hometown.
