In today’s episode of the Kevin & Fred Show, I’m joined by self-storage investor, Scott Krone. Scott invests in self-storage at a high level, with multiple units in different cities, and a brand new company. He deeply understands how self-storage investing works, and what it takes to actually achieve your goals. As it goes with any investment, you can’t be profitable without a strategy. Scott is going to share passive investing tips, and his insights on protecting your investment. 

 

Scott is an investor, author and founder of Coda Management Group and One Stop Self Storage. Mr. Krone is a Chicago native whose career in architecture began in 1991 by pursuing his Masters of Architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology. While obtaining his degree, he also worked as a Project Manager for Optima, Inc. During his time at Optima, Krone’s responsibilities included such notable projects as the 400 unit Cormandel in Deerfield, IL, the 40 unit HedgeRow in Winnetka, IL, and the 51 unit Optima Center Wilmette in Wilmette, IL.

 

In 2012, Krone co-founded SSSK Capital Fund – a firm who specializes in managing real estate assets. Since its inception, SSSK manages a wide range of real estate including single and multi-family homes, retail, commercial warehouse and self-storage and multi-use flex athletic spaces. Currently, the platform of investments is in excess of $30 million. 

 

In 2018, SSSK Capital Fund was re-branded to Coda Management Group to complement his design build firm Coda Design + Build. Krone founded Coda in 1998.  Coda Design + Build is an international award winning design and build firm which specializes in sustainable building practices.

 

According to Scott, self-storage is a more simplistic version of multi-family investing, but there’s a lot more to it than buying up a ton of units and putting tenants in them. The underlying financials, the location, square footage per capita, and even the different classes of storage have a significant bearing on whether you’ll succeed or not.
