Post-Interview Analysis
- Key Lessons Learned: Self-Storage is a supply and demand business. There are many things you can fix about a self-storage facility but if the demand is not there, you will not be successful. It’s also hyper-localized and that demand depends very much on the lifestyles and demographics of the population in the market.
- How did they acquire their knowledge or what knowledge did they need to acquire? Learning to invest with other people’s money by starting small with friends and family.
- How much money did it take to get started? He started with about $100,000 from the sale of his education company.
- How much time does it take now? This is a full-time job.
- Could they do this strategy from anywhere in the world? At this time, given his role at Spartan Investment Group, probably not.
