Summary
Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne and we have another awesome episode lined up for you guys today. Deal flow, due diligence, financing, asset management… these items are the bread and butter of an organization. They’re also essential aspects for even the beginning self storage investor. But how do you put all the pieces of the puzzle together? Better yet, how do the pros put the pieces of this puzzle together, and how exactly do they put them together? These are great questions to be asking and questions you need answers for if you plan to make it in the self storage investing world. Lucky for you, this exactly what we’re covering in today’s podcast. Over the past couple years, my companies have experienced a huge amount of new opportunity, and an amazing amount of growth. This presents some very real problems though. How do you manage the growth? How do you manage so much opportunity? And how do you run your business at the same time you’re managing everything else? I tell you what, figuring out answers to these questions has been in the forefront of my mind every single day for years. What’s really awesome is that I get to share those years of learning and figuring it out here with you today in a podcast that is less than hour long. Pretty crazy to think about right!? Today, I’m going to share with you exactly how my companies are structured from the top down. These structures have allowed me to grow our current portfolio to over $200 Million in assets under management. Not only that, these processes, system, and structure will allow me to grow our portfolio by another $200 Million in 2022. Get your note pads, listen in a few times if you need, whatever it takes to build your own self storage investing machine.
