Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast, this is your host AJ Osborne! We have another incredible guest lined up for you all today - the man himself Tim Fadorsen. Tim started off in the development and construction world working as a general contractor for years. He ultimately ended up building a self storage facility for a client. Seeing the value of self storage and the great opportunity he could leverage being a general contractor, he immediately began to dive into the world of self storage and began construction on his very own facility. Tim gives us a run down of his first storage deal and walks us through and up to where he’s at today and what the plans are for the future. We talk about investing strategies, leveraging your skills to get deals done, and he has gone about identifying great self storage markets to develop in. Enjoy everybody and we’ll see you next time!

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne!    Debt - there are very few subjects that have gotten as bad a wrap as debt has. Don’t get me wrong, debt when you don’t understand it… can be downright deadly. But debt used as a rocket fuel for generating wealth and income… that’s when debt becomes a massive force of leverage.    But how? How can taking on debt ever be a good thing? Isn’t buying all cash a better way to go? Isn’t paying off a loan as quickly as possible the best course of action? Yes and no, just like the above gives hint to - it depends on what kind of debt we’re talking about.    Let’s clear this up once and for all - not all debt is BAD and not all debt is created equal. We have two kinds of debt - consumer debt (which is generally bad and that you should try to avoid). And then we have revenue producing debt (which is the sweet nectar of the gods for investors).    This is just the tip of the iceberg and I couldn’t be more excited to help shed some light on this subject because I see it and hear it every single day. I hope this helps you more fully understand the different types of debt, when you should and SHOULDN’T be afraid of debt, and when you can use it effectively to help grow your wealth.    Outside of that, I give a bit of economic back story in regard to capital,  the different types of markets, economic cycles, and more to really take a deep dive on the subject.    Enjoy everybody and we’ll catch you next time!  AJ   Become a part of the CRE Circle: https://ajosborne.com/cre-circle/     The Self Storage Income Exclusive Fall Event in Coeur d’Alene Idaho (GET YOUR SEATS RESERVED ASAP!) - https://selfstorageincome.com/events/   Be sure to go to Selfstorageincome.com to get your  copy of my Self Storage Playbook.

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne!    Today we have an incredible individual on the podcast who I’m honored to call a great friend - the one and only John Lindsey from the Lindsey Self Storage Group.    John has a huge wealth of knowledge when it comes to self storage. He’s done and is still doing it all - he owns and operates his own facilities, owns and operates a commercial real estate brokerage with an emphasis on self storage, has help partner and form the most powerful self storage co-op in the country, has authored a book, the list seriously could go on and on.    Today is simply a down to earth conversation about what John is seeing in the self storage industry currently, what he’s seen and experienced in the past, and what he believes is the not so distant future of self storage.    The self storage industry is not like it used to be. We compressed cap rates, stronger competition, and the space that used to be so fragmented is consolidating at a rapid rate that none of us ever predicted.    What does all this mean for you? What does it mean for us as self storage investors?    Hopefully today, we scrape the surface to help answer these questions.    Thanks for listening everybody and be sure to pick up a copy of John’s book below!

Do you know those people who are out there just who just always seem to be crushing it? Well, our guest today is that person and I’m excited to have him on the podcast for you guys. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Jon Farling.

There are so many incredible stories out there of people who are getting their self-storage investing journey underway, and today I have a phenomenal episode lined up for you with self-storage investor James Reid.

You know those kinds of people you meet that you immediately know they’re just great and genuine people? Well, our guests today are just that. I’m excited to introduce you all to Brian and Kelly Saari.

For anyone just starting out - those that are looking for that first storage facility to close on… I have two amazing guests lined up for you today - Dan and Ben Schiermeyer. Dan and Ben are self-storage brothers from the same mother… (I know, my jokes are great lol), and they just closed on their first-ever storage facility and they’re here to share the experience with us.

Man do we have an incredible guest episode lined up for you guys today! It’s my pleasure to introduce Jon Marshalla and Andrew Freeman.

That’s right everybody, we’ve done 100 episodes here on Self Storage Income. We’ve covered a ton of self-storage ground (or square footage you might call it lol). We’ve talked about and shared numerous value add investment strategies, interviewed top leaders in the self-storage industry who are disrupting the self-storage industry in the best possible way, and who are setting new and exciting standards for their facilities and their tenants.

I’m so excited today because we get to sit down with my great self-storage friend Pam Domingue. Pam owns and operates several self-storage facilities in California and even Hawaii! She has a ton of incredible experience, experience that she’s sharing with us today.
