I came across a self-storage opportunity in a major MSA that would be considered a heavy-lift value-add deal. The property appears to need significant operational improvements and is likely best suited for an experienced operator comfortable with turnaround opportunities. Is anyone here actively acquiring heavy-lift self-storage assets in major MSAs? If so, send me a message and I'd be happy to discuss the opportunity further.

Everything I’ve been working toward in self storage is slowly starting to come together. Getting hands-on experience managing a facility.Being put in positions to potentially wholesale deals. Having self storage opportunities sent over for underwriting and deal analysis. Still learning every day, but it’s exciting seeing the consistency and networking start to pay off. One thing I’ve realized quickly: This business is heavily relationship driven. If anyone knows of self storage owners looking to sell, retire, or exit the business, feel free to reach out. I’m actively looking in the market.

Quick question for those who have wholesaled/self-storage assigned deals before: Have any of you used NDAs with buyers when wholesaling a facility? Or do you not really recommend it? I’m trying to figure out best practices here and whether it’s something I should be implementing or if it creates more friction than value. If anyone has a sample NDA they’ve used before, I’d really appreciate it if you’d be willing to share. Thanks!

Hey everyone, quick question for those already operating self-storage facilities or who’ve gone through a website setup recently. I’m looking for recommendations on the best website platform/company for a storage facility website. My main priorities are: Easy online rentals/reservations Online payment processing Ability for customers to easily manage their account Mobile-friendly site Good SEO / Google visibility is a plus I’d also love to hear if there are any features you wish you had added sooner that helped operations run smoother. Also, for business email, do you prefer using a Google Workspace/Gmail address tied to your domain, or have you had better luck with something like Outlook/Microsoft? Trying to build this the right way from the start, so any recommendations (or companies to avoid) would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

I house hack and manage 2 small multifamily properties, and I’ve been thinking more about preventative maintenance. Do most of you schedule things like: • annual HVAC servicing • roof inspections • plumbing checks • pest control Or do you usually handle maintenance when issues arise? I’m trying to figure out if building a proactive maintenance schedule into operations actually helps reduce larger CapEx problems over time. Curious how other investors here approach this with their properties. What preventative maintenance has saved you the most money long term?
