Self-storage might not be the first thing you think of when you hear "real estate investing," but it can open the door to a very different conversation about diversification, passive income, and long-term planning.
Regina McCann Hess sits down with Corinn Altomare, co-founder of Hearthfire Holdings, to talk about passive self-storage investments, why some investors look beyond traditional stocks and bonds, and how income-producing assets can fit into bigger retirement conversations.
They also talk about patience, long-term thinking, 1031 exchanges, the emotional side of work and family, and the importance of asking one big retirement question early: how will you replace your paycheck?
