Looking for off-market self storage for sale? Wondering how to get around the high down payment self storage investing requires? How do you measure demand for an area you’ve never invested in? Today, AJ and Conner are answering some of the most commonly asked self storage investing questions so you can get your first or next facility even faster. Think of this as a “Self Storage Investing for Beginners” FAQ session as we get into the nitty-gritty of finding deals, measuring demand, raising down payments, increasing revenue, and more!

If you’re still searching for your first facility, worry not. AJ details the exact method he used to get his first small off-market self storage facilities and how to get an owner to ask YOU to buy the property from them. We’ll also get into measuring demand and whether you should use software or go “secret shopping.” Will a ten-percent down loan pencil out for your next facility? And speaking of down payments, how do you raise the six-figure sum you’ll most likely need to buy your first self storage investment? 

We’re answering all those questions and a whole lot more in this episode!
