Think you’re too late in the game to get into self storage investments? Feel like you can’t give up that career you took decades to build to take a shot at achieving financial freedom? Today’s guest is about to fire you up! At age fifty, he took a giant leap, quitting his chiropractor practice of over twenty years to go head-first into real estate investing. In just four years, he was able to buy six self storage investments, and he’s not stopping anytime soon. And if you feel like your career’s clock is ticking, and self storage could be your way out, Russell Nersesov is the guy to listen to.
In today’s show, Russell talks about leaving his stable career to pursue something else, how he’s finding deals even in today’s tough market, why he makes offers on everything that could work for his portfolio and the two things EVERY investor should be looking for when trying to find self storage investments.
Russell even flips the interview, getting AJ’s take on some of the most crucial questions self storage investors are wondering about. You’ll hear why brokers are finally starting to get “realistic” with their prices, the “readjustment period” sellers are going through, and how to have the confidence to buy when everyone is telling you to wait instead (BIG mistake!).
