🔥 Unlock the Storage Mentor Inner Circle!
Most people interested in self-storage investing never buy a facility. They watch videos. They read books. They analyze deals. But they stay stuck on the sidelines. Not because they lack information…but because they lack clarity, guidance, and the right community around them. That’s exactly why I created the Storage Mentor Inner Circle. This is where the most committed members of the Freedom Through Storage community come together to move beyond theory and start taking action. Inside the Inner Circle, we focus on real progress. Members bring deals they are analyzing. We break down opportunities together. We talk through financing, operations, and strategy. It’s not just education. It’s collaboration with investors who are actively building their path to freedom.

Mismanaged to say the least!
We are under contract on a facility and I want to make sure I share this project journey with you so you can see the exact steps we take during the DD process. Teaching from theory is one thing. Walking you through an actual deal in real time is a whole different ball game. This is a good one as I've underwritten a lot of deals and have never come across something quite like this! This facility has 110 units. 35 of those units are past due for a total amount due of over $100k! Some made their last payment as far back as April 2018.. Another 19 units are being used by the owner and family for FREE! Current street rates are about 40% below market. No internet on site.. No Website.. No software.. No one answering the phones.. No P&L.. No management reports.. No tax returns... Just a spreadsheet rent roll and a handful of bank statements. Currently collecting about $2,500 per month. We should get that up over $10k per month within 3 years conservatively. Current 3 mile market supply = 17 square feet per capita. Average HH income = $66k 3 Mile Population = 29k people Under contract for $29 per square foot! Drop your questions or comments below! 👇

🚨 Live Q&A Recap | Relationships Create Opportunities
We had another great Freedom Through Storage Live Q&A last week and this one covered a LOT more than just underwriting. We got into: • Real due diligence lessons from a recent New Mexico site visit • Why visiting facilities during different weather conditions matters • How broker relationships can lead to future off-market opportunities • Strategies for finding deals without directly cold calling owners • Current market conditions and seller expectations • Conversion opportunities like turning old buildings into climate-controlled storage One of the biggest takeaways from the call… 👉 Most people focus too much on “finding the perfect deal” and not enough on building relationships. The investors who consistently get opportunities are the ones: - Staying active - Following up - Talking to brokers - Visiting markets - Making offers That’s where momentum comes from. We also had a really interesting discussion around converting an old school building into storage, which opened up a lot of conversation around creative opportunities in this business. 🔒 Full replay access unlocks at Level 3 inside the community. If you’re not there yet: - Start engaging - Ask questions - Comment on posts - Participate in the community That’s how you level up and unlock the deeper content. And if you want to go even deeper… 👉 The Inner Circle is where we focus on real deal breakdowns, strategy, execution, and direct feedback. Drop your biggest takeaway or question below 👇

What to do when they say yes?
I’ve started making outbound calls this week to storage facilities and have gotten plenty of no’s and quick hang ups. But I’ve been wondering what to say when they do say yes. Like is it just “Cool, send me over your trailing 12 and NOI” or??? How do you handle it from there?
