Storage Wins
Alex Pardo
What if you could finally escape the grind, quit your job, and build real wealth?
Not by flipping more houses or managing tenants, but by owning a self-storage business that creates real freedom. Imagine waking up knowing you're in control: your business is running, your income is steady, and your time is finally yours. That's what Storage Wins is all about.
If you're tired of trading dollars for hours, being burnt out from chasing deals that create more work, and are ready for a step-by-step system to buy your first self-storage facility, even if you don't have tons of time, money, or years of experience...this podcast is for you.
Most real estate investors and employees feel stuck. Maybe you're grinding away at a nine-to-five that drains you or hustling in a single-family real estate business that leaves you stressed and overwhelmed. You dream of passive income and cash flow, but every solution you try just adds more chaos to your life. The truth is, you don't need to manage dozens of properties, fix broken toilets, or put up with nightmare tenants. There is a smarter, more scalable way.
The problem isn't that self-storage is out of reach. Most people are overwhelmed by conflicting advice, all the moving pieces, and the myth that you need a ton of money or years of experience to get started. You end up overthinking, burning out, or worst of all, doing nothing and watching your dreams slip away. Other people are making it work and you wonder, why not me? What am I missing?
The answer is clarity, a proven plan, and a supportive community.
Imagine this: You have a clear roadmap to buy your first self-storage facility in the next six to twelve months, even if you've never done a real estate deal before. You know what to look for, how to find off-market deals, raise capital, and structure acquisitions that build wealth. You're part of a group that values simplicity, automation, and systems that make business more profitable. You are making progress, building cash flow, and finally owning your time.
Hosted by Alex Pardo, real estate investor, coach, and former host of The Flip Empire Show, Storage Wins is your weekly guide to building a self-storage business that serves your life. Each episode brings you practical insights from Alex and top experts, as well as real stories from students and everyday investors. We go deep on what works: choosing the right market, negotiating deals, automating operations, avoiding rookie mistakes, and scaling up for real financial freedom.
This show is about reclaiming your time and building a business that works for you. If you're sick of the rat race, exhausted by the endless hustle, and are ready to create freedom, wealth, and legacy, this is your show. You don't have to sacrifice your family, faith, or sanity to succeed. You just need a plan, one good deal, and the belief that freedom is closer than you think.

EP372: Discovering Your Purpose & Learning to Master Your Emotions, with Juan Carlos Bernal
Juan Carlos Bernal is a serial entrepreneur, and has made a big impact on Alex's life over the last 10 years. Juan Carlos is an executive coach and works with clients to overcome roadblocks (big and small), so they can experience massive breakthroughs. In today's episode, Juan discusses how you can uncover your purpose, why we look for success in all the wrong places, and the importance of dealing with your negative emotions or fears in a healthy way. Key Takeaways: Alex has known Juan Carlos for over a decade. Juan has been coaching Alex since they met, and he's helped him in his personal life and business. Juan Carlos is not an investor; he comes from the consulting world in the technology sector. Why do people not do the inner work they need to do to succeed? We look for success in the wrong places. We are taught all the wrong things. Fake it till you make it, etc. In reality, what makes us successful is our purpose. Authenticity is the new currency. How can we find our purpose? We don't create our purpose; we have to find it. God sent us with a purpose already within us; we just need to uncover it. This takes time. If someone had to talk at your funeral, and they couldn't lie about you, what would they say about you? We are enslaved by our needs and no matter how much you try, we will never fulfill it. When we release that need, that's when things really start flowing and start happening for you. How can you let go? Where's the fine line between focusing and letting go? How can we better deal with the negative emotions in our heads? Every emotion has a timeframe. When you repress it, it will be worse. When you give it what it needs, you will be set free from it. What advice would Juan Carlos give to his younger self? Mentioned in This Episode: Interested in joining the Hybrid Coaching & Mastermind Group Alex & Steve launched?

EP371: Shaving off $4,700 in Unnecessary Monthly Expenses!
Alex wants to challenge you to go through an exercise that has saved him nearly $5,000 in recurring monthly expenses. The book, Profit First, was a game changer for Alex's business and on this week's episode; he shows you why. Stop focusing on the top line, and place that focus on the bottom line! Key Takeaways: The book, Profit First, has been revolutionary to how Alex runs his business. You should have five accounts in your business. Alex breaks down what each of these five accounts does. In the book, you go through an exercise where you print out your Profit & Loss statement (P&L), and determine if the expense contributes to profit, can be replaced with a cheaper alternative, or can be completely eliminated. Alex printed out his P&L from January 1st, 2019 till now and marked down all the unnecessary expenses or cheaper alternatives his business could use. It wasn't a fun exercise, but he's saved $4,700 in monthly recurring expenses. Eliminate the things that are not necessary for your business. Remember, bigger isn't always better… BETTER IS BETTER! Don't have a P&L? Print out your bank statements. Alex reads a couple of pages from the Profit First book. Alex's challenge to you: How do you get 2X the results with half the effort?

EP368: Mike Wagner on Taking an 'L' on His Single-Family Rental Portfolio to Achieve More Peace and Financial Freedom by Investing in Self-Storage Units.
Mike Wagner is a self-storage real estate expert and has transformed his life through deliberate and purposeful action. As a Lifeonaire member, Mike shares why he decided that it was better to take a loss on his single-family rental portfolio in order to transition into a more stress-free self-storage portfolio. Mike has been in real estate since 2007 and purchased his first self-storage in 2011. He shares some of his storage numbers and where you can find some of these lucrative deals. Key Takeaways: How did Mike get into real estate and why did he pick self-storage? When Mike decided to do self-storage units, he quit his day job to focus on it. Mike offers some advice for investors who want to take the leap and become an investor full-time. Mike ended up selling his single-family investment portfolio. He had about 30 properties under his belt at the time. He ended up losing money on some of the homes, but it freed him up much more mentally to keep focusing on what he does best. How does Mike justify taking a financial loss vs. keeping mental sanity? Don't make decisions just purely on the numbers. There are other factors you can consider. How did Mike close on his first self-storage unit? In self-storage, you don't have evictions, you have lien laws. Mike radically reduced his challenges when he went into self-storage compared to when he had single-family homes. Self-storage mortgage loans default less often than any other mortgage-backed asset. What type of cashflow can you expect from self-storage units? How does Mike find his properties? How many team members/employees does it take to run a self-storage unit? The biggest thing here about Mike's journey is that he is a lifestyle guy. He has prioritized his life so that he makes money and it funds the kind of life that he wants. Mike has zero employees. He has six companies! How does he do it? Mike shares how Lifeonaire impacted his life. He has found his purpose. What's one piece of advice that Mike would like to give his younger self?

I wanted to forge my own paths and take the risk." "We were in the subsidized housing arena, so collections were a big hassle and the expenses were hard to control. We were spending half of every dollar that we collected on operating expenses." "In storage, our income-to-expense ratio is 30 to 33 cents on the dollar. There's a margin there."

EP367: How To Achieve ANYTHING You Want in Life
As the year starts to wind down, it can be easy to set goals and have it fade away as the new year progresses. Alex doesn't want that to happen to you. He wants you to achieve everything you want in your life, so in this week's episode, he offers some advice on how you can manifest the life you want and bring action and meaning to these goals in a profound way. Key Takeaways: Alex and his wife are in Palm Beach attending a Tony Robbin's Date with Destiny! Christmas is just around the corner! Something special is coming up. Alex is looking back on old notes to remember any key takeaways he might have forgotten about. If you want to achieve anything in this life, you need to get super, super clear on what that is. That's step one. Out of all the goals you want to achieve, which one is the most important one? Focus is key. The wealthy are always working on one specific goal, not five goals at the same time. People often like to work on the small things. Those take up time and don't always get the ball rolling. Alex is a big believer in affirmations. Read your affirmation 5-10 times in the morning and at night. You need to visualize your goals as you say your affirmations. Create your vision board on your phone! Once you get to work, it's just a snowball effect after that! Like the podcast? Feel free to reach out to Alex and let him know what you think!

EP364: Rod Khleif Delivers a Fiery, Passionate Message on How You Can Achieve Your Dreams (& Shares His Most Impactful Success Strategies)
Rod Khleif is a passionate real estate investor who started when he was just 18 years old. On his third year as a real estate broker, he was able to earn six figures in his business and it was all because he took the time to work on his mindset and develop positive psychology for himself. Rod shares how you can develop a strong will to succeed no matter the hardships you are currently facing right now. There is nothing that you can't do! Key Takeaways: Rod comes from an immigrant family and they really struggled when he was growing up. When Rod got his broker's licenses, he made six figures in his third year, but what had to change from year 1 to year 3 to make that happen? So many people have the knowledge but they don't take action!!! Take some time when you're energized to write down everything that you want and need in your life. Write it all out, no matter how crazy it might sound. What you have on your paper right now is just dreams. Now you gotta put a timeline on them to make them into goals. Use empowering words when you write all this down. Words will move you. Then take it one step further, write negative words to deter you from failing. Make it painful. This document is the fuel that will help you work your dream and encourage you to stay up late and work those nights until you've achieved it. Rod realized he wanted a corvette, so he went out and got a picture of it and put it in the visor of his car so that he would see it everyday. Within 2 years, he got that car. Visualize what you want, then take action! Strategies on overcoming our fears… Rod and his team have now fed over 70,000 children over the holidays over the last 20 years. Success is about giving back. The most successful people on the plant add the most value to others. Rod shares the one piece of advice he would share with you (and his younger self).

EP363: Embrace Your Failures - The Lessons Learned Can Be Your Most Valuable Experiences
In this week's episode, Alex shares why you shouldn't beat yourself up if you fail at something. Every failure has a teaching moment for you and even though it might sting right now, there is something even greater and more positive just around the corner. Failure has made Alex the man he is today and he is grateful for it! Key Takeaways: Alex believes people are failing much more than they are succeeding, and that's a good thing! Alex has been overwhelmed with his business too. It happens to everyone! About three-to-six months ago, Alex had to take a hard look at his business and figure out what he truly wanted to do. Alex shares a story about his daughter losing a game. There is really no such thing as failure. As long as you learn something, you didn't fail. One of Alex's team members recently left. This was a great learning moment for Alex because he was able to look at the business in a different way. Alex challenged his team to accomplish more with less. Bigger isn't always better. Better is Better! Alex is grateful for his failures. He knows when it happens, something great is around the corner. When Alex was early in his career, he wrote in a journal what he did right and what he did wrong when he was working on his deals.

"At this point, I've been in the business for 13 years. I've had a lot of highs, a lot of success, I had a lot of lows, significantly more lows and failures than I have had highs. I truly believe that's what's made me the man I am today." "You only fail when you didn't learn anything." Ask Alex A Question: Have a question you want featured on an upcoming Flip Empire Show?
