We are excited to have Ryan Gibson, Co-Founder of Spartan Investment Group (SIG), join us to share his valuable insights on self-storage investments! Ryan is currently focused on building and scaling his commercial real estate portfolio in the self-storage sector, though his start in the business world was in a different industry. He is an experienced commercial airline pilot who started his real estate journey with an Airbnb-like business called pilot crash pads. It provides pilots a space to crash for short periods between flights. In that business, he did everything from marketing, cleaning, staffing, and finding tenants.

Fast forward to today, besides being the co-founder, Ryan is SIG's President and Chief Investment Officer. Their self-storage brand is called FreeUp Storage, and their mission statement is 'Make Space for Life.' He shares that self-storage is the best-performing asset class and why it continues to be profitable. He talks about the importance of performing a demand feasibility study and understanding the area in which you're investing. Ryan also touches on optimal strategies, key considerations during the evaluation process, how to determine the ideal price point to maximize returns, and much more.
