Hi everyone, My name is Jim Kittridge. I'm an investor out of Charlotte, NC and I'm closing on my first facility in ~1 week and am looking for more opportunities. I'm an easy and very experienced buyer. I've done ~200k sqft of storage entitlements and own ~200k sqft of real estate outside of storage. I built a portfolio of 100+ houses and apartments I've been selling out of and 1031'ing into flex space and industrial but want to grow my self storage portfolio. Look forward to connecting with everyone. Thanks for the invite @Gabriel Petsios! My email is jim@rothcapital.com and I have a list of acquisitions on my site if you're curious.

We closed on our first facility. Thanks to everyone in the Storage Ace community who gave some guidance along the way. I've been in residential real estate for over 30 years and thought it would be somewhat of an easy transition into self storage. That definitely was not the case. Finding the deal was the easy part (for me). But I didn't realize how much I didn't know about self storage and how much is involved after you get the deal under contract. (The following is an unsolicited endorsement). Once I got the facility under contract I joined Dave's coaching group. I decided that I didn't want to waste time trying to figure it out on my own (which I tend to do). Of all the classes, conferences, groups I've joined or spent money on over my real estate career, this by far was the best money I've ever spent. Dave, Ken & the group helped me get to the closing table. Without their assistance I would've been lost trying to put everything in place to get the facility online and start the process of turning it around. As I mentioned before, there is A LOT I didn't know about storage. A lot of details (most of them simple processes) that if you weren't aware of could cost you a ton of time and money. Dave helped with all of that and continues to help as we get this thing rolling. If you're new, serious about getting into self storage, and serious about closing on your First Facility I would highly recommend checking out Dave's coaching class so you can cut to the front of the line and get that first deal. Time to find another one...

Hello, StorageAce Fam - I just shared something on Facebook that I think you’ll want to see. Back in April, I closed on Beckley Mini Storage.Six months later → revenue is already up over $4,000 per month. That single change created about $600,000 in new value. And here’s the kicker…I pulled the screenshot straight from my facility management software and posted it. No fluff, no theory — just the real numbers. 👉 https://www.facebook.com/demink/posts/10162213977617153 If you’ve ever wondered what this game looks like in real life (not just in theory), this is it. Talk soon, Dave P.S. The chart says it all. Go take a look.
