Self Storage Income

Whether you do it before, during, or after watching, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, AND COMMENT. 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. Travis Morrow is no stranger to this strategy or this market. In this episode Travis touches on how he got started in the industry, market insights, third party management, self storage development, self storage operations, and more.  Please send me your questions and comments at selfstorageincome.com.  Thanks everybody, AJ   Get in touch with Travis on the Store Local Website   --------- AJ's Self Storage Masterclass - https://cashflow2freedom.com/self-storage/ Self Storage Income Website: https://www.selfstorageincome.com Self Storage Income Podcast: - iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 - Stitcher: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 My OTHER Podcast & YouTube Channel - Cashflow 2 Freedom - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspPjuKSS7iohRa7VRvohqQ

I was invited to speak at a self storage convention there and the questions I answered from the audience and the convention as a whole gave me some great ideas for talking points that I wanted to be sure to share with you.  As always, enjoy this episode and please, reach out to me! If you have questions or comments about anything self storage, I'd love to hear from you. Best way to get in touch is emailing me on my website at selfstorageincome.com.

Our strategy has worked in large booming markets as well as extremely small rural areas. I was invited to speak to an exclusive group of high net-worth individuals who are interested in investing in self storage. I decided to record the conference call so that I could share it with you here.  I give an entire self storage overview - I’m talking market insights, industry specifics, my investment strategies, where I’m investing, what I’m looking for, how I find facilities to purchase, how to acquire a facility, how to drastically increase the value of a facility, knowing your competition and more.  I then answer questions one by one as the group members go through and ask questions about investing in and operating self storage. Some of the questions I answer: “What kind of software are you using at your facilities?” “How are you managing your facilities?” “Do you recommend people to invest in self storage? Or just experts?” “When you buy facilities, do you keep the employees or do you clean house and hire all new employees for that facility?” “What kind of questions should we be asking ourselves as new people to self storage investing?” “How are you selling tenant insurance to your tenants? Are you using a third party? How are you structuring that?” “Who are you using to provide tenant insurance?”  “How easy is it to evict a tenant?” I hope you enjoy listening in on this great self storage overview.  I'll see you next time everybody, AJ --------- AJ's Self Storage Masterclass - https://cashflow2freedom.com/self-storage/ Self Storage Income Website: https://www.selfstorageincome.com Self Storage Income Podcast: - iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 - Stitcher: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 My OTHER Podcast & YouTube Channel - Cashflow 2 Freedom - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspPjuKSS7iohRa7VRvohqQ

What is the development process like to develop a storage facility? What kind of contractors do you use to build a storage facility and how do you find them?     I hope you all enjoy this look into the self storage development world, and please be sure to send us your questions and comments!

Alright everybody, I'm so excited to release this episode... you don't even know. I have the great pleasure to introduce the man himself - Paul Moore.  Paul Moore is one of the most respected individuals in self storage and the real estate market as a whole.  Here's a short bio of Paul to give you a bit of an idea as to his background and the incredible things he's accomplished: "After graduating with an engineering degree and then an MBA from Ohio State, Paul entered the management development track at Ford Motor Company in Detroit. After five years, he departed to start a staffing company with a partner. They sold it to a publicly traded firm five years later for $2.9 million. Along the way, Paul was Finalist for Ernst & Young’s Michigan Entrepreneur of the Year two years straight (1996 & 1997). Paul began investing in real estate in 2000, and he flipped over 50 homes, 25 high-end waterfront lots, appeared on HGTV’s House Hunters, rehabbed and managed dozens rental properties, built a number of new homes, developed a subdivision, and started two successful online real estate marketing firms.  Three successful real estate developments, including assisting with the development of a Hyatt hotel and a very successful multifamily project, led him into commercial real estate . Paul is the author of The Perfect Investment – Create Enduring Wealth from the Historic Shift to Multifamily Housing (2016). Paul also co-hosts a wealth-building podcast called How to Lose Money, is a featured guest on numerous real estate podcasts, and is a regular author for Bigger Pockets." Paul and I go all out in this episode, we talk markets and where they're heading, the best type of self storage investments, and everything in between.  Whether you do it before, during, or after listening, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, AND COMMENT.   Best way to contact Paul: Wellings Capital Paul Moore on Bigger Pockets Paul Moore's How to Lose Money   --------- AJ's Self Storage Masterclass - https://cashflow2freedom.com/self-storage/ Self Storage Income Website: https://www.selfstorageincome.com Self Storage Income Podcast: - iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 - Stitcher: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 My OTHER YouTube Channel - Cashflow 2 Freedom - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspPjuKSS7iohRa7VRvohqQ
