Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! This is your host AJ Osborne! One of the most popular questions I get is - “How do I structure a self storage deal with partners?” Or - “What does a typical deal structure look like?” All in all, how do you take the deal, yourself, and your partners, and put it all together? Not only that, what actually IS typical? These are all great questions and they’re the perfect type to demonstrate the whole idea of you don’t know what you don’t know. If you’ve never put a deal together or know someone who has, how deals are structured is a total shot in the dark for you. But that’s not a bad thing, and to be honest, that is exactly where I was at not too long ago myself. I had no idea what was typical, what partners or investors wanted, I knew nothing. So, when it came time, I reached out to my network and found some answers. Funny thing, I even still got my first deals a little wrong lol. But that’s ok, because learning is a part of the process. Today, I hope to help you streamline that process and hope to give you some key insights into exactly how deals can and often are structured. Here is a massive disclaimer though - you can structure a deal however you want or however you can. There’s no one size fits all solution. But this podcast will give you an idea of exactly where to start. Thanks a bunch everybody! AJ Be sure to go to Selfstorageincome.com to get your copy of my Self Storage Playbook.
