Self Storage Income

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne! It’s my pleasure to introduce you to my great friend Frazier Robison. Frazier and just so happened to know one another years and years ago… and it just so turned out that we BOTH ended up in the self storage investing world, which is so wild! In this episode Frazier shares his journey about how he went from zero, to now owning and operating five self storage facilities. Frazier also sheds some light on a few strategies that he uses to value and INCREASE value of a storage facility. There’s a ton of incredible value packed in today’s episode and gives you all great insight into how you too can go from having zero, to building your very own self storage empire.

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne! Today we’re going to take a deep dive into one of my most recent deals. I’m going to share with you all details on what exactly we looked at, how we underwrote the deal, and our expected returns on the deal. There are so many questions that me and my team get when it comes to underwriting and returns on self storage. How much do you expect in expenses? How much for payroll? What’s your internal rate of return? How are your expenses broken down and what do they include?... are just a few of the many questions I’ve received. I’m excited to jump in and share it all with you guys today so you can see exactly how we look at and underwrite these awesome deals. Thanks for listening everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne and we have an outstanding episode lined up for you all today. It’s something we’ve never done before and I’m about as excited as a mosquito in a blood bank to share this with you all. This episode is a first time ever - it is a live podcast that took place at our Self Storage Income live event that we hosted in Coeur D’Alene Idaho. This was THE LARGEST private self storage event that has ever taken place and the energy there was unlike any conference I’ve ever been to. Now onto the podcast… The one and only Brandon Turner (Host of the Bigger Pockets Podcast) joined us on stage for this live podcast. The day previous, Brandon had made mention of the ultimate goal of becoming an architect of your real estate investment empire - meaning, knowing what pieces of the puzzle you need, and knowing how and when to utilize those pieces to build a real estate investing machine. We build off this idea in this great conversation and talk everything scale, capital, management, and more. This is one of those podcasts you’ll want the notebook and pen ready to go for. The wealth of knowledge being shared is invaluable. Thanks for listening everybody, AJ Be sure to go to Selfstorageincome.com to get your copy of my Self Storage Playbook.

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne!    Debt - there are very few subjects that have gotten as bad a wrap as debt has. Don’t get me wrong, debt when you don’t understand it… can be downright deadly. But debt used as a rocket fuel for generating wealth and income… that’s when debt becomes a massive force of leverage.    But how? How can taking on debt ever be a good thing? Isn’t buying all cash a better way to go? Isn’t paying off a loan as quickly as possible the best course of action? Yes and no, just like the above gives hint to - it depends on what kind of debt we’re talking about.    Let’s clear this up once and for all - not all debt is BAD and not all debt is created equal. We have two kinds of debt - consumer debt (which is generally bad and that you should try to avoid). And then we have revenue producing debt (which is the sweet nectar of the gods for investors).    This is just the tip of the iceberg and I couldn’t be more excited to help shed some light on this subject because I see it and hear it every single day. I hope this helps you more fully understand the different types of debt, when you should and SHOULDN’T be afraid of debt, and when you can use it effectively to help grow your wealth.    Outside of that, I give a bit of economic back story in regard to capital,  the different types of markets, economic cycles, and more to really take a deep dive on the subject.    Enjoy everybody and we’ll catch you next time!  AJ   Become a part of the CRE Circle: https://ajosborne.com/cre-circle/     The Self Storage Income Exclusive Fall Event in Coeur d’Alene Idaho (GET YOUR SEATS RESERVED ASAP!) - https://selfstorageincome.com/events/   Be sure to go to Selfstorageincome.com to get your  copy of my Self Storage Playbook.
