The Best Kept Secret in Real Estate (That’s Hiding in Plain Sight) | Steven May E286

Everyone’s chasing rentals and Airbnbs… but the best-kept cash flow secret might be self-storage.

In this episode, we sit down with Steven May, a former nurse who walked away from healthcare and built a portfolio of seven self-storage facilities without millions of dollars in the bank or years of experience.

Steven breaks down how he got started with house hacking, why he shifted into storage, and the exact cold-calling strategy that helped him land off-market deals. He shares his buy box, management systems, and what most investors get wrong when analyzing self-storage opportunities.

We also get into real-world numbers, the role interest rates play, and how Steven’s building long-term wealth by focusing on simplicity, cash flow, and execution over hype.

If you’ve ever wanted a step-by-step look into how self-storage works and why more investors are quietly pivoting to it, this episode is your blueprint.
