Here is a home business to do as a second income or side hustle that most of the family can do together. Have you ever watched the television show, Storage Wars? Well, that is what this is in real life with more details of how it all works from finding the auction all the way to reselling the contents. Our family took a gamble in 2013 and started buying abandoned storage units and selling the items within to make money and now you can too! You can learn how this business works so you can succeed and not lose money on your next storage auction purchase.

Buying Abandoned Storage Units

This business works great as a part-time job. There are auctions during weekdays and weekends to accommodate your free time to work it. In our family, Dad works a full-time day job and some of the older children work part-time jobs. Dad and a child attend the auction while I am at home with my little ones (we have eight children). If a unit is purchased, Dad and his helper will load what they can into the vehicle or trailer and bring it to our home. The other older children help unload and sometimes bring in a box of toys for the little ones to discover new treasures (what stays has to be approved by Mom and fit into our toy storage containers – sometimes old toys need to go).
