Thanks for the message. I'm going through all your videos again from when I watched them last year. I'm actively looking, but having trouble finding anything near home. It does get frustrating, but it is what it is. I'm considering building, but I'm familiar with the amt of time (and money) that takes to get up and running. I much prefer to find an existing one and build on it. Hope everything is going well for you. Would love to see a property tour of your current portfolio and maybe go over the different types of buildings out there. Where I live there are a lot of pole barn type units (wood post and frame).

This has been a really good check at the start of my journey, your message of making sure that you're in the right position to take advantage of that first deal really rings true for me - I guess it's easy to have a lot of ambition at a young age, but a whole different ball-game to make it work. I'd love to hear more about your first property and your journey there in a future video! Inspiring us every week - cheers!

The real race is with yourself not others. The question people should ask themselves is can YOU keep up with yourself.

Great points. I bought my first 6-unit multi-family over a year ago. Seems when you listen to YT and podcasts its all about scaling your business FAST and going into syndications. Personally, I like the way you roll wanting to replace your W-2 income over time. I hope to buy again in 2-3 years and learn while I "wait". Maybe do another deal in the same or less amount of time after that. Keep up the great work. I'm interested in adding self-storage to the basements of my current building and add to the NOI. I'm hoping to learn how to use tech / a kiosk to eliminate the need for someone on site. Any hardware/software/vendor tips are appreciated.

Thanks Pat! Yes scaling/growing should be done in alignment with your purpose and life style desires but not for sake of bragging rights. As far as hardware/software, I don't know much on the residential side but for self-storage many providers exist to help automate. Some examples are Call Potential, Open Tech Alliance, and any of the management software offerings like SiteLink, StoreEdge, WebSelfStorage, and others.

@@TheSelfStorageGuy Appreciate the list, Jon. Ideally, I'd have new storage tenants sign up online and get passcodes to get inside. I'll have to learn the law and investigate the tech possibilities before moving forward.

Yes that's totally doable. A good place to start for the legal aspects would the state self storage association in the state where the property is located.

My challenge is finding a good deal. There's lots of facilities that are asking way too much even for the value add deals. Your video made me realize that I could be working harder to find or create a deal and not just do internet searches for them. If I want something near me I'll have to mail or talk to the owners in person. Do you have tips on the best way to approach owners that aren't actively selling their property?

Hey Bridge, for small operators you can often just walk in the door and talk to them or send them a letter/make a phone call. Just be humble and ask them whether they've considered selling.

Good afternoon I would like to say thank you for the content you are putting out. My wife and I are seriously interested in self storage but we have no idea where to start lol! You mentioned you had a mentor. If possible could you give us an idea on how and where to start? You should also think about putting a program together if you have not already. Your content is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Hi David, it was quite a while ago when I went through the program so the landscape has probably changed quite a bit. I did work one on one with a coach so I would imagine that would be at least a silver level today.
