Insights on Shipping Costs and Acquisition Strategies in Self-Storage Business

Welcome back everybody to the one and only Self Storage Income Podcast - this is your host, AJ Osborne! I have yet another incredible guest lined up for you on the podcast today - we have self storage investor and entrepreneur Chris Ramsey. Hailing from the moving business, Chris and his family weren’t too far off the mark when it came to looking at self storage. Chris actually developed a software for moving companies that also helped gather data about those individuals moving and their needs throughout that process. As you might imagine, this gave great insight for Chris in identifying the majority of people’s obvious need for self storage. We cover a variety of topics on today’s podcast but to share a few - we discuss the importance of identifying product market fit and supplying a market with the self storage product that is actually in high demand. We also talk about the king of good self storage markets - DEMAND. Outside of this, we discuss some industry changes, what we’re seeing and experiencing in self storage, and more.
