274. Sending Mailers, Mastermind Event, Bad Actors, and More (Office Hours)

Key Takeaways:

There will be a 2-day CRE Accelerator Mastermind event in Nashville on October 18-19, 2024. This will be the first of these quarterly events.

Approvals have been received for the Peerless Mill project, a 29-building industrial facility in Rossville, Georgia. I plan to start with indoor climate-controlled self-storage and industrial outdoor storage in phase one.

The benefits of using self-storage management companies to handle upfront work like market studies and pro formas when getting into self-storage are discussed.

During the mastermind event, I will cover topics like finding and funding your first deal, a property tour, and a goal-setting workshop for 2025. There will also have a session with a guest speaker on building business models for real estate investments.

The value of the mastermind community and the importance of being selective with business partnerships to avoid dealing with "bad actors" in the industry is emphasized.

Discussion on being open to different entry points into commercial real estate, including brokerage, accounting, urban planning, etc. and how to find value in learning from various perspectives.

Why I prefer the mastermind group approach over one-on-one consulting due to the scalability and community benefits it provides.
