Hi all! My name is Hunterland and I’m from Nashville, TN. I want to get into storage investing to create multiple forms of income, and my goal is to own my first facility by the end of 2026. Freedom to me is quitting my 9-5 and with the help of storage investing alongside my print shop business I have in the side, I’m hoping to do that in the next year or so. So nice to meet you all! I’m looking forward to this journey. I’m pretty new to real estate investing in general, so if my questions seem elementary, my apologies in advance haha.

I’ve started making outbound calls this week to storage facilities and have gotten plenty of no’s and quick hang ups. But I’ve been wondering what to say when they do say yes. Like is it just “Cool, send me over your trailing 12 and NOI” or??? How do you handle it from there?

Great conversation today! I thought what Tom said was very interesting. I found an article that breaks down ways you can make your website show first in AI Search Engines. https://unlimited-elements.com/how-to-make-your-website-show-first-in-ai-search-engines-chatgpt-claude-and-more/

We are headed to California for our Son's graduation and had planned on doing this call from the hotel. However, after multiple flight cancellations and rescheduling to get there on time, I wont be able to do the live q&a tomorrow. As always, you can post your questions here in the community to see what others may have to offer. I will see you guys next week!

Hey everyone, excited to join the group. I work on the commercial real estate debt side as both a direct lender and mortgage broker, primarily across bank, life company, and debt fund executions, and I also invest passively in commercial real estate deals. If helpful, I’d be happy to share periodically, real-time lender color on pricing, leverage, recourse, and which capital sources are tightening up or getting aggressive. Just from last week: • Regional banks were around 5.75% fixed • Life companies were quoting roughly 130–175 bps over Treasury • Bridge lenders were generally around SOFR + 275 depending on leverage and business plan The capital markets have become very deal-specific lately, and it’s been interesting seeing how differently lenders are underwriting industrial based on tenancy, rollover, sponsor profile, and market liquidity. Looking forward to connecting with everyone and hearing what people are seeing in the market.
