Acrylic Roof Coating
Here is the product that I mentioned on the call that we used on our facility. We sprayed on 2 coats. Sealed well, durable and looks good. https://roofxtender.com/products/roof-x-tender-sup-%C2%AE-sup-700-premium-white%E2%84%A2-acrylic-cool-roof-coating

📌 Live Q&A Recap | Rent Increases, Creative Financing & Ops Decisions
Today’s Freedom Through Storage Live Q&A was a strong operator-focused conversation around pricing discipline, creative deal structure, and protecting long-term value. We covered real scenarios owners and buyers are facing right now, including how to raise rents without blowing up retention, navigating sellers who won’t share full financials, and structuring deals in a higher-rate environment. Key takeaways from today’s call: • Raising under-market rents gradually without shocking tenants • Breaking large rent increases into phases to reduce churn • Moving deals forward even when full information isn’t available • Using contracts and DD periods to unlock seller cooperation • Presenting multiple financing options to sellers for leverage • Why seller financing is more common in today’s market • Expansion and unit mix considerations from a buyer’s perspective • Insurance cost control and avoiding over-insuring facilities These calls are designed to help you make better decisions faster, based on real operator experience, not theory. 🎥 Premium members can access the full replay inside the Live Coaching & Deal Breakdown Vault. If you want deeper execution support, deal structure guidance, and operational frameworks, Premium access unlocks the full library.

@Wes Eaves I appreciate the feedback. I was watching the developer on an SSI podcast talking about the different ways they are finding it be a value. Pretty interesting bunch of guys in Homegrown Storage. They are projecting to acquire a facility a week in 2026!

Short truth to sit with this week: Confidence isn’t something you find. It’s something you earn through action. This week’s question: Where in your life or business are you waiting to feel ready instead of choosing to move? 👇 I’ll start the conversation below.

@Shane Chapin This really hit home! The idea of “waiting for permission” is something I don’t think gets talked about enough. Most of the time it’s not lack of knowledge or access, it’s the quiet fear of being fully responsible for the outcome. No paycheck safety net. No one else to blame if it goes sideways. What resonated most for me is your point that confidence follows action, not the other way around. I’ve found that every meaningful step I’ve taken in storage came before I felt ready and the clarity showed up after I moved. I’m still learning this myself, but I’ve noticed that the people making progress aren’t the ones with perfect plans. They’re the ones willing to take a calculated step, reassess, and keep going. Appreciate you sharing this. It’s a good reminder that “ready” is usually a moving target and waiting on it can cost more than the risk of taking the next step.
