The End of Self Storage? The Truth About RISK in Self Storage

Welcome back everyone to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne! That's right, you read that title correctly. Me, the biggest self storage investing cheerleader talking about the potential ends of self storage and the very real risks that exist in self storage investing. Now why would I do this? Here's the deal - when all you have is people praising a particular asset or investment, and people NOT talking about the risks (and even down playing or refusing to acknowledge the asset or investment even HAS risk)... we have a big problem that needs to be addressed. Self storage investing is in my opinion, is one of the best (if not the best) commercial real estate investment opportunities that exists. However, this does not mean that self storage investing 100% fool proof, or even that the amazing opportunity of self storage investing will remain the same (which it certainly won't). We're in an amazing time for the self storage industry. Again, the opportunity is massive. But we have to remain ever vigilant. We cannot buy into hype and fail to look at, acknowledge, and plan for the risks associated with ANY investment. So today, that's exactly what I'm going to be talking about. Thanks everybody!
