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.
One of the biggest changes to the self storage market however is technology, and the automation of self storage facilities. How do you automate a self storage facility? Great question - you're about to have your answer.
I'll see you next time everybody, AJ
