EP12: The Complete Guide - 16 Methods for Finding Hidden Storage Deals (Part 1)

Here’s the secret no one tells you, the best storage deals never hit the market. They’re sitting quietly with mom-and-pop owners who haven’t raised rents in years and would sell tomorrow if someone just asked.

In this episode, Alex Pardo reveals three of his most powerful strategies for finding these hidden gems, even if you’re brand new and have zero connections. You’ll learn how to spot undervalued facilities, start real conversations with owners, and uncover deals with built-in equity before your competition even knows they exist. 

You’ll Learn How To:

• Use the Rent Gap Sniper Method to find properties with huge untapped value
• Spot hidden opportunities just by reading broker offering memorandums
• Turn Google Maps into a deal-finding machine even from your couch
• Approach mom-and-pop owners the right way so they actually want to talk to you
• Build confidence and clarity so you can move fast when a great deal shows up
