Self Storage Income

Alright everybody we have another incredible guest episode that I'm super excited to share with you. I'd like to introduce Lance Watkins.  We spend a good amount of time touching on technology and the impact it's having on self storage, but we also talk real estate, market trends, and building real estate empires.  Enjoy, take notes, and be sure to email your questions and comments to me at selfstorageincome.com. ----------- My Self Storage Investing Master Class - https://cashflow2freedom.com/self-storage/ Whether you do it before, during, or after watching, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, AND COMMENT. Before I got involved with self-storage I was stuck on a treadmill. Yes, I made good money, but it was my clients that owned my time and not me. If I wanted to make more money I had to put in more hours. If I stopped working money stopped coming in. Self Storage changed that for me once and for all. And I want to show you how it can work for you. Self-storage facilities investments are a quiet but growing sector of commercial real estate. Based on current demographic trends, they’re ready to benefit substantially. You see, we live in a consumer culture. Americans love to buy stuff. At the same time, the average size of the American home continues to downsize. Which means people need a place to put all that stuff. Enter self storage. At this point, almost 10% of American’s use self storage and the industry has grown to bring in over $20 billion dollars in annual revenue. I want to show you how to get started in this industry and create true financial freedom. THIS ISN’T GUESS WORK — IT’S A REPEATABLE MODEL With over 1 million square footage of self storage facilities across four states, we’ve created a scalable model that works. We seek and purchase under performing facilities. When we overlay our model, we know almost exactly how the asset will perform in any given market. Our strategy has worked in large booming markets as well as extremely small rural areas.    I'll see you next time, AJ --------- AJ's Self Storage Masterclass - https://cashflow2freedom.com/self-storage/ Self Storage Income Website: https://www.selfstorageincome.com Self Storage Income Podcast: - iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 - Stitcher: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 My OTHER YouTube Channel - Cashflow 2 Freedom - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspPjuKSS7iohRa7VRvohqQ

Alright everybody, I'm so excited to release this episode... you don't even know. I have the great pleasure to introduce the man himself - Paul Moore.  Paul Moore is one of the most respected individuals in self storage and the real estate market as a whole.  Here's a short bio of Paul to give you a bit of an idea as to his background and the incredible things he's accomplished: "After graduating with an engineering degree and then an MBA from Ohio State, Paul entered the management development track at Ford Motor Company in Detroit. After five years, he departed to start a staffing company with a partner. They sold it to a publicly traded firm five years later for $2.9 million. Along the way, Paul was Finalist for Ernst & Young’s Michigan Entrepreneur of the Year two years straight (1996 & 1997). Paul began investing in real estate in 2000, and he flipped over 50 homes, 25 high-end waterfront lots, appeared on HGTV’s House Hunters, rehabbed and managed dozens rental properties, built a number of new homes, developed a subdivision, and started two successful online real estate marketing firms.  Three successful real estate developments, including assisting with the development of a Hyatt hotel and a very successful multifamily project, led him into commercial real estate . Paul is the author of The Perfect Investment – Create Enduring Wealth from the Historic Shift to Multifamily Housing (2016). Paul also co-hosts a wealth-building podcast called How to Lose Money, is a featured guest on numerous real estate podcasts, and is a regular author for Bigger Pockets." Paul and I go all out in this episode, we talk markets and where they're heading, the best type of self storage investments, and everything in between.  Whether you do it before, during, or after listening, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, AND COMMENT.   Best way to contact Paul: Wellings Capital Paul Moore on Bigger Pockets Paul Moore's How to Lose Money   --------- AJ's Self Storage Masterclass - https://cashflow2freedom.com/self-storage/ Self Storage Income Website: https://www.selfstorageincome.com Self Storage Income Podcast: - iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 - Stitcher: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 My OTHER YouTube Channel - Cashflow 2 Freedom - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspPjuKSS7iohRa7VRvohqQ

Most see it as this super passive piece of real estate that takes little time and effort to operate. To truly tap into the massive value and returns that Self Storage can produce, you have to look at it much much differently - and today, I'm going to show you exactly how to look at it.  I'll see you next time, AJ --------- AJ's Self Storage Masterclass - https://cashflow2freedom.com/self-storage/ Self Storage Income Website: https://www.selfstorageincome.com Self Storage Income Podcast: - iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 - Stitcher: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 My OTHER YouTube Channel - Cashflow 2 Freedom - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspPjuKSS7iohRa7VRvohqQ

Our strategy has worked in large booming markets as well as extremely small rural areas. Knowing what to look for to find the best storage deals is something we have to know no matter where we're investing. If we can't set our criteria for investing and be able to identify potential investments that meet that criteria, we obviously fail! No one wants that. Be sure to listen in, take notes, and find out exactly what I look for to help identify potential investments that can produce the 20% + cash on cash return that we expect from each and every self storage investment we make.  I'll see you next time, AJ --------- AJ's Self Storage Masterclass - https://cashflow2freedom.com/self-storage/ Self Storage Income Website: https://www.selfstorageincome.com Self Storage Income Podcast: - iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 - Stitcher: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-storage-income/id1482663918 My OTHER YouTube Channel - Cashflow 2 Freedom - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspPjuKSS7iohRa7VRvohqQ
