Self Storage Income

298. How to Scale (Fast) from ONE Small Self Storage Facility to Financial Freedom


Listen Later

Is buying self storage facilities a surefire path to building wealth? In this episode, we’ll show you why buying a small, mom-and-pop operation might be the perfect alternative to residential real estate. For those who don’t want the tenant headaches of long-term rentals or the unpredictable income of short-term rentals, this episode is for you!

 

Today, AJ and George are sharing self storage success stories from everyday investors who are increasing their facility’s value by six figures (while working full-time), using 10%-down SBA (Small Business Administration) loans to buy facilities, and scaling their income without the stress of other asset classes. The best part? These aren’t unicorn stories. They’re repeatable models rooted in solid deal analysis and smart operations.

 

Whether you’re just getting into real estate investing or you’re tired of tenants and toilets, we’ll show you why self storage gives you more control over your property’s revenue and value. We’ll break down the operating expenses you’ll need to consider when analyzing deals, what to make of cap rates, and how to quickly scale from small operations to much larger, high-value investments!



What you’ll learn in today’s show:

 

  • The pros and cons of buying self storage versus other asset classes
  • AJ’s simple, three-pronged business model for new self storage investors
  • Unearthing HUGE opportunity with under-optimized, mom-and-pop facilities
