In this episode of the OWNR OPS Podcast, I interview Baird Kleinsmith, the Sultan of Storage. Baird bought his first self-storage property in 2021 and has since grown the portfolio to 9 properties & $2.6mm of annual revenues. What's more impressive is this business kicks off close to $900k per year in annual cash flow while being managed by an offshore team in Latin America.
