Hello from the n00b! What have been YOUR successes this week? Inspire us, and help us learn from your adventures, will you? For us: Tuesday: Power Hour Wednesday: Clarity Call At the end of the Clarity Call, Dave challenged Tonya (my wife) and I to go research "5 to 10" facilities each week. Which led us to Thursday... Thursday: 11 facilities visited and evaluated (10+1 = giving 110%!) Friday: Reviewed findings of Thursday's evals, then emailed 3 well-established brokers in the area to create a connection. Also Friday: Introduced myself here in this forum as a way to begin building connections and momentum. Sooo... Hello from East Tennessee (Oak Ridge / Knoxville)! As Dave says... Let's GOOOO!

Hi all! We closed on a new property beginning of September and have a few units with "unknown tenants" - no name, no address, no phone number, nothing (yes, the old owners terribly mismanaged the place). How would you / have you gone about handling these units? Based on the old owner's records these unknown customers have not made payment in awhile. This facility is in NY by the way.

That's the single biggest lie keeping new investors on the sidelines. I hear it every week: "The market's picked over. Brokers only call their big buyers. There's nothing left for a first-time investor." It's just not true, and I can prove it to you. Here's the reality. The MLS and LoopNet listings you're scrolling through are the leftovers. The actual deals, the ones with motivated sellers who are tired, aging out, or ready to move on, never hit a public listing. I've bought several of my 8 facilities off-market by picking up the phone, mailing postcards, and driving routes with a notepad on my passenger seat. The owners weren't trying to sell until someone asked. That someone can be you. If you want to see exactly how I pull leads nobody else is touching, watch this one — I show you how to get thousands of storage owner leads for about $50 using Fiverr: https://youtu.be/5eiGM5u9YgM. Pair that with a simple cold call script and you've built more deal flow in a weekend than most investors have all year. The full step-by-step is in the Blueprint if you want the complete system: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wkUwltCW9wk7LbsoddYwTfTFn5UgMg2x/view?usp=sharing. What belief about finding deals has been holding you back the longest? Dave "Off-Market Is the Only Market" DeMink

How would you let customers know that you have more buildings as part of the same facility? I have some buildings in one location and more buildings a block away. How do you let people know that they are part of the same business? The buildings look the same, but you can't see the other location while you are at one of them. I thought about adding a sign at each location that would show a Google Map outlining the different locations. This way people know they're all part of the same business. Maybe it's not needed, and I'm overthinking it.
