Whether you do it before, during, or after watching, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, AND COMMENT. Before I got involved with self-storage I was stuck on a treadmill. Yes, I made good money, but it was my clients that owned my time and not me. If I wanted to make more money I had to put in more hours. If I stopped working money stopped coming in. Self Storage changed that for me once and for all. And I want to show you how it can work for you. Self-storage facilities investments are a quiet but growing sector of commercial real estate. Based on current demographic trends, they’re ready to benefit substantially. You see, we live in a consumer culture. Americans love to buy stuff. At the same time, the average size of the American home continues to downsize. Which means people need a place to put all that stuff. Enter self storage. At this point, almost 10% of American’s use self storage and the industry has grown to bring in over $20 billion dollars in annual revenue. I want to show you how to get started in this industry and create true financial freedom. THIS ISN’T GUESS WORK — IT’S A REPEATABLE MODEL With over 1 million square footage of self storage facilities across four states, we’ve created a scalable model that works. We seek and purchase under performing facilities. When we overlay our model, we know almost exactly how the asset will perform in any given market. Our strategy has worked in large booming markets as well as extremely small rural areas. The trick is... knowing when to buy and when not to buy a storage facility. Well, it's not so much a trick as it is a skill and a calculated process. I just released a playbook on the Self Storage Income website that goes through a lot of this process in an easy to follow, step by step process.  In this episode however, I focus on four main parts of the facility evaluation/identification process:  Supply/Demand Location Offering/Quality Execution/Operations   We go over how important it is to start with the first two parts (the parts or factors that you cannot control)- Supply/Demand and Location. We then jump into the other parts (which you do have control over) - Offering/Quality and Execution/Operations. Listen in, get ready for the new year, and get ready to evaluate and make the leap to purchase some storage facilities this new year.      Please be sure to send us your questions and comments! And go to my website Self Storage Income to keep up with everything we have going on.    Thanks everybody and happy New Year!
