Summary
What’s up everybody!? Welcome to the Self Storage Income podcast and welcome to part 2 of this short series where we’re taking a deep dive into the world of growing wealth through self storage.
Today we break down some more of the key aspects of why self storage can be such an incredible investment. We take today’s talking points directly from my new book - The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage.
Our focus today (like most days) is growth - more specifically, growth through systems. To grow and scale we need systems - systems for hiring, procedure, acquiring assets, billing, project management, and so forth. It’s no secret that we as individuals cannot do absolutely everything that needs to be done for our growing businesses. This means, we must build systems that allow us to hand off those tasks and responsibilities to a qualified team. This means that you can work ON and not IN your business.
This ideal is one of the reasons I decided to put together this book, the guide of all guides - The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage.
This guide has taken years of experience for myself and my team to be able to put together for you guys, and I couldn’t be more excited to provide this to you all.
This guide walks you through from start to finish - how to identify a potential storage facility, how to analyze markets, the keys to underwriting, acquiring a facility, changing day where you take over the facility, and yes, how to build systems to help ensure you’re working on and not in your business. I even provide real examples with real numbers from deals we’ve done to show you exactly how we’ve gone from owning one storage facility, to now owning and operating over 1 Million square feet of storage valued at over $150 Million.
If you’ve been following me or listening to our podcasts for any length of time, you know that I can’t stand “fluff”. The only thing I want to provide is value. I want to provide actionable steps that you can utilize in your investing to help you build and live the life you’ve always dreamed of. This guide is no different and is probably one of the most (if not the most) valuable pieces of work I’ve ever created.
Today’s podcast is a break down, or a sneak peak if you will, of what you can expect to find in this guide. Take notes and get ready to pick up your own copy of The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage.
