219. Buying vs Building Self Storage: Pros & Cons (for Beginners)
If you want to get into the Self Storage investing game, you may be trying to decide if buying a pre-built facility is better than building one on a blank plot of land (or expanding an existing one).
Our guest Matt Wallace has extensive experience with just this. He transitioned from multifamily residential real estate to Self Storage, and had to go through many challenges and hoops to build a facility. Dealing with the city and the falllout of existing management was just the beginning.

216. Building a Successful Real Estate Business - Pace Morby
Self Storage is not just a real estate investment - it's a business. And it should be treated as one.
"You don't have a business until you can go somewhere to 3-4 days and you company continues to make money."
So today we brought A&E's Pace Morby on the podcast to discuss how he built his real estate business and is somehow able to manage it with his insanely busy schedule. If that sounds like what you are trying to do - build generational wealth WHILE balancing life & family - this episode is for you.
Pace breaks down what the most commonly missed things that made his business grow exponentially. Lessons from his mentor Jon Bohm (who coaches the Arizona Cardinals), from his experience on Triple Digit Flip, and from within his own business.
In this LIVE episode of Self Storage Income (from our event), let's dive into what makes a business successful.

213. Underwriting Market Values in Today's Environment
How do you underwriting a facility if the market is turned upside down? In our latest youtube video, we talk about the massive rate drops that have plagued the self storage industry in the past year. BUT, the largest storage companies, the REITs, are making RECORD PROFITS. How is that possible?
Our video on the massive rate drops: https://youtu.be/Xd-eCkvSXPE
But more importantly, how do we move forward? Because banks don't care what your income COULD be, they only look at what it IS. This messes up underwriting. This messes up projections. It confuses banks and investors alike.
Let's talk about it in this episode of Self Storage Income.

211. The Modern Self Storage Facility | Operations w/ Jesse Harmon
Our Self Storage Income Live Event: https://www.selfstorageincome.com/ssi-live-2023
Self Storage has changed MASSIVELY in the last 10 years. Big players have entered the market and started investing in a key component: technology.
If you don't have a website nowadays, your business *will not* be discovered. The self storage facility today is far more advanced than that of just a few years ago. There's AI managing tenants, there's algorithms behind revenue management - the prices you see on their site.
So what do facilities need to stand out in today's age? And be able to reach their customers? And more importantly, how should they treat their customers, so that they stay your customers?
Today's guest is our very own Jesse Harmon. His expertise in Marketing, Revenue Optimization & Commercial Strategy gives us a close, on-the-ground, inside look into the daily operations of storage in the modern age.
