Summary
The Self Storage market is undergoing an unprecedented time of change and fluctuation. Everything is being affected - buying & selling, cap rates, tenant occupancies, and more. If you are new to the market - or trying to get into the market with your first deal - what does this meant for you?
We know Self Storage is connected to residential housing. Does that mean we will experience the same desperation, skyrocketing debt, or foreclosures?
Interest rates right now are extremely high, but prices have not come down. Leasing season - summer time - is coming up soon. What are WE doing to prepare? And how can you benefit?
Formerly an airline pilot, Ryan Gibson transitioned to real estate when he co-founded of Spartan Investment Group in 2013. Scott Lewis, his partner, and Ryan both wanted to be in an asset class that was uncorrelated with the market and it's extrinsic influences. Ever since, he's been growing his self storage portfolio to over 4 million square feet across a multitude of states. We're excited to have him share his insight into the market as it stands today!
