Baird's Journey to Self-Storage Property Investment

Baird shares his experience transitioning from a corporate career in financial technology to investing in self-storage properties. After feeling dissatisfied with his nine-to-five job, Baird sought out alternative investment opportunities. He came across the concept of buying self-storage properties and was inspired to pursue it after listening to a podcast. Baird's journey began with acquiring his first property and quickly grew to include a total of eight properties, with a focus on adding value through operational improvements. He financed his investments through a mix of bank loans and seller financing.
