Self Storage Income

The economy is slowing down, and it's impacting Self Storage directly. We're seeing incomes fall, occupancy drop, and normally "busy" seasons are slow instead.  This is a result of the Self Storage bubble. It's similar to the housing bubble that popped in 2008, except now it's popped for Self Storage. The rates we can charge are dropping, along with new customers and income. We talked about this in-depth last year: https://youtu.be/Sm0pZsLkxoo  So now what? What happens to all the facilities out there that were bought during the previous bull market?    Want to take advantage of todays market conditions with us?

Whether you’re a first-time investor, or you’re a part of one of the largest private equity firms in the world - everyone is subject to the same fundamental concepts. Operations, management, expansions - and it doesn’t stop there. That’s why AJ wrote his first book on Self Storage, and is about to publish his second.

Welcome back everyone to the Self Storage Income Podcast on our 200th episode! As you know, we’re all about building business – specifically a self storage business that can own, operate, manage, develop, and syndicate self storage deals. Not everyone wants to go this route and that’s ok (which is why we syndicate right!?). But for those of you who do want to build a business, and even an empire – this episode is for you, and we have a couple amazing guests who can talk at length about how to build a wildly successful real estate business. Please welcome Jeremiah Boucher and co-founder of his company Patriot Holdings, Tim Wilkins. Jeremiah is a name you’ll recognize as he’s been a semi regular guest with us here on the podcast. He’s an absolute wealth of knowledge, so if you haven’t listened to his other episodes here on the podcast, do so now. Now back to those who want to build empires. It takes time and it takes an incredible team. Today the four of us talk in depth about the good, the bad, and the lessons learned about building our self storage investing businesses. The insights like the ones shared here today have the potential to help you build the right foundations from day one, instead of struggling for years trying to figure it out on your own. Listen in, take notes, and get ready to build your empire and the dream you know you deserve.

What a great week at the Inside Self Storage Expo! We just got back from Las Vegas where the ISS event was held. One of the biggest topics they covered was Automation and AI integration, with both private companies and public REITs all interested - so let's talk about it!  AI has been adopted across industries almost immediately - decades faster than the Internet was adopted initially. Is this just hype? Or is this an industry changing force that will impact everyone - including investors, operators, and the industry as a whole?  We can help you figure out what type of loan or financing structure you need, and where you can get funding for your deal: https://www.cedarcreekwealth.com/debt Our partners: Tenant Inc. - https://www.tenantinc.com/ Grab my audiobook Growing Wealth in Self Storage for FREE: https://www.selfstorageincome.com/free-audiobook

The Self Storage market is undergoing an unprecedented time of change and fluctuation. Everything is being affected - buying & selling, cap rates, tenant occupancies, and more. If you are new to the market - or trying to get into the market with your first deal - what does this meant for you? We know Self Storage is connected to residential housing. Does that mean we will experience the same desperation, skyrocketing debt, or foreclosures?  Interest rates right now are extremely high, but prices have not come down. Leasing season - summer time - is coming up soon. What are WE doing to prepare? And how can you benefit? Formerly an airline pilot, Ryan Gibson transitioned to real estate when he co-founded of Spartan Investment Group in 2013. Scott Lewis, his partner, and Ryan both wanted to be in an asset class that was uncorrelated with the market and it's extrinsic influences. Ever since, he's been growing his self storage portfolio to over 4 million square feet across a multitude of states. We're excited to have him share his insight into the market as it stands today!

There has been a major development in the self storage industry. One of the biggest REITs in the space, ExtraSpace, has merged with Life Storage for a record $12.7 billion, making it the largest merger in the Self Storage industry by FAR. Where will this take us and what does it mean for the self storage world? For years, we've talked about market consolidation in this space. The sheer market size of this merger can tell us a lot. Public Storage even joined in on the fun.  This is not just some "big news" you seen on the Wall Street Journal. This WILL affect your state, your city, and your market. It's been building up for years - and it's finally come to fruition.  Let's break it down in this episode of Self Storage Income!  Need help funding a deal?

In the midst of the recent bank collapses, economists and investors alike are shuddering at the impact of high cost of capital and the Fed's continual interest rate hikes. Banks are extremely nervous and wary of investments - all investments. INCLUDING storage. Why is this happening, and how will it affect us? When we saw storage being oversupplied with falling demand, we knew a bubble was coming. Now it's here.  When we look at investing in self storage, we always underwrite a "worst case scenario" - what will happen to our money if rates spike or cashflow wasn't as expected? There's a time and place to be buying or be holding back. We've done this before back in 2017 - but how do you know what to do when the market shifts?  Need help funding a deal? We can help you figure out what type of loan or financing structure you need, and where you can get them.
