Storage?? (Phoenix: foreclosed, rental, houses)

[68428GOAT]

I see most houses do not have basements. Do they have attics?? Where do you guys put extra things??

Will need a garage. See most have them. Ours will have a car in it at all times. Are storage units what is needed ?

Thanks.

We actually do something unusual, I guess. We get rid of stuff we don't need.

Boxes of stuff we do HAVE to keep (legal papers, a few items of sentimental value, etc) - most homes do have at least on large closet, or a corner of the garage, or garage cabinets.

if you don't use it with in three years GET rid of it!

We keep the seasonal junk and luggage etc in the "attic" - the truss space above the garage.

Some people do major investments in garage cabinets and storage. You may be able to find a rental where the owner did that before he got foreclosed.

Three car garages can work too. 3 car garages get grabbed up quickly in my area, though.

There is a storage facility about every other mile in the metro, too.

Our prior home had a two car garage for a two car family. We "invested" in some garage storage cabinets. Total cost: $595 plus tax including install.

I wonder if garage storage has a good payback come time of sale. It sure catches my eye when looking at houses .
