Some of the best storage deals you'll ever find aren't on LoopNet, in a broker's inbox, or even listed anywhere at all. They're hiding in plain sight, tucked behind a Dollar General, spotted on Google Maps, or sitting right in front of someone else who just doesn't know what they're looking at.

In this episode, Alex Pardo continues his 6-part series on the 16 proven methods for finding off-market storage deals. This is Part 5, where Alex reveals three creative strategies you can put to work immediately: "flying for dollars" on Google Maps, the Dollar General hack, and how to build an army of property finders to send you deals.
