339. How to Start Investing in Self Storage Right Now


Listen Later

This is how to start investing in self storage, right now. 

In under 25 minutes, I’m going to walk you through exactly how to go from no self storage investments to your first one. Everything from building your “buy box” to finding the deals with upside potential, financing, due diligence, increasing revenue, and repeating it to build an entire portfolio. 

None of the steps I’m sharing are difficult and a beginner can follow each of them, step by step, to get their first self storage facility this year. But you’ll need to be consistent. There are opportunities out there right now—I should know, I’m heavily buying in 2026. But they won’t fall into your lap.

If you’re able to spot the best self storage opportunities, present my three-offer strategy to sellers, and improve operations, you’ll have a cash-flowing, equity-building, stable asset for decades to come. I did it, too, buying small, mom-and-pop facilities for $500,000 or less. 

Now, it’s your turn. You want to know how to buy a self storage facility? These are the exact steps I’d take in 2026. 

What you’ll learn in today’s show:

  • How to buy your first self storage facility by the end of 2026
  • Building your “buy box” and knowing what type of facility you want to buy 
  • The value-add opportunities that will boost a facility’s value once implemented 
  • The formula to follow to find stable, safe, opportunistic self storage markets 
  • Three financing options to give every seller when making self storage offers
  • Spotting the “money on the table” that will make you wealthy in self storage
