Summary
Welcome back everyone to the Self Storage Income Podcast where we talk all things self storage investing! This is your host, AJ Osborne!
It’s been a crazy moment the past few years for the self storage industry. Valuations were through the roof, there was crazy stupid money being thrown every which way into deals that would never pencil in reality, billions have been invested into the industry by major institutions, the list goes on and on. However, this is all about to change, and it’s already happening.
Deals are falling out of contract, capital is beginning to retreat slightly, values are on their way to returning to some kind of normalcy again, and competition in acquisition is declining, all great things for the self storage industry. But what does this mean for you as a self storage investor?
This means - you better be ready for all the great deals coming down the pipeline. You better have your team and your resources ready to find, secure, and close on self storage deals. You’ll find in the coming months that deals will be easier and easier to come across and sellers will be much more willing to work with you.
We cover all these aspects in todays podcast and share some ways that you too can prepare and ready yourself to be able to capitalize on the amazing opportunity that’s right around the corner (not to say there isn’t great opportunity right now).
Tune in, take note, and get ready to invest in some self storage deals!
