Self-storage units are hot investments

I hope you’ve had a chance to get over to the Tennessee Valley Fair this week but if not, there are still a couple of days left. My family had a good time, especially the kids!

The reporting week included a holiday. The total number of deeds recorded was 1,187, with 202 Warranty Deeds and 268 Trust Deeds.
