Sending out direct mail to owners for a few properties that I’ve been researching. What are you working on today? #lifestylefreedom

It was nice meeting up with @Jeff Spaulding at the Texas Self Storage Association Luncheon in Houston yesterday. Looking forward to working and learning together in the future.

Hey Gang. .. A couple FYI's if your looking to expand your knowledge in Self Storage, meet some great people and many vendors... For 2026, the Self Storage Association (SSA) event that in past years was often held in Las Vegas in April has shifted on the national calendar: the SSA Spring Conference & Trade Show is now scheduled for March 18–20, 2026 and will take place at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas — not Las Vegas. Separately, the large Inside Self-Storage (ISS) World Expo — a major industry trade show frequently held in Las Vegas in April — is still being held in Las Vegas this year (April 7–10, 2026) at the Caesars Forum Conference Center.

Today’s Freedom Through Storage Live Q&A went deep into two powerful areas: • Evaluating distressed storage deals • Underwriting boat & RV storage from raw land We covered: • How to price distressed facilities using current NOI as the anchor • Why future upside should never be disclosed to a seller • Accounting for negative equity and hidden CapEx upfront • Legal considerations when replacing doors and protecting yourself • Negotiating major roof repair issues before closing • Underwriting raw land for boat/RV storage • Startup costs most new investors underestimate • Zoning, access, and turnaround space requirements • Tenant protection and operational compliance One key reminder from today: 👉 Future value is for you, not for the seller. What's ONE big takeaway you had from this call? These weekly sessions are designed to sharpen your thinking, reduce costly mistakes, and build real operator confidence. 🎥 ALL Level 3 members can access the full replay inside the Live Coaching & Deal Breakdown Vault.
