I'm a retired engineer IN Texas. My Marine veteran partner, Cassandra Avila, and I are actively looking for self storage assets for cash flow. FYI, we connected via Skool in another group and really hit it off. Networking works! I've already seen some tremendous value in the classroom calls I've listened to so far. Looking forward to much more!

Hey everyone, my name is Jeff. I’m excited to be here and ready to learn. I’m currently working on building new income streams and creating more financial freedom in my life. Storage facilities caught my attention because of the long-term potential and scalability, so I decided to dive in and really understand how this business works. Right now, I’m focused on learning the fundamentals—how to find deals, analyze numbers, and eventually acquire my first facility. I’m not afraid to start small, I just want to start smart. Looking forward to connecting with others here, learning from your experiences, and taking consistent action. If you have any advice for someone just getting started, I’m all ears. Let’s grow 🙌

Hi everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. I’m located in Denver, CO and am new to storage looking for my first deal. I was on this week’s Tuesday call but didn’t get a chance to say hi. Planning on being on most calls from now on.

Good morning, Aces— I wanted to share a real deal with you all that I personally own with a couple partners. We’ are selling it, and I thought this would be a great opportunity for the group. The OM is attached for your review. Not as a pitch—just as a learning and potential opportunity. 👉 It’s a turnkey storage facility with solid fundamentals 👉 It’s a great deal to practice underwriting on 👉 And if it fits for anyone, I’m open to a conversation Zero pressure—whether you look at it for education or opportunity, both are wins. Reach out if you want the details or want to walk through it together. It’s a 107-unit, ~23,000 SF self-storage facility in the Chicago MSA (McHenry, IL) with strong occupancy (~93%), in-place cash flow.

Most people think finding a good storage deal means getting lucky — stumbling onto the right listing at the right time. That's not a system. That's a lottery ticket. When I was building my portfolio, I realized the investors who close deals consistently aren't smarter than everyone else. They just have a repeatable process for generating deal flow. Seven specific methods, to be exact. And most of them run on autopilot once you set them up. Some of these methods work fast — you can have conversations this week. Others build momentum over time and become your best source of off-market deals six months from now. The key is using more than one at a time. Deal flow is a numbers game, and when you have multiple channels running, the deals find you. Across my 8 facilities, I've used almost every one of these methods. Some surprised me with how well they worked. Others I wish I'd started sooner. I put all seven into a free guide so you can start building your own deal flow system — even if you're still working a W2 and can only carve out a few hours a week.
