Two years later, Steve transitioned into a role where he modeled High Cash Value policies for corporations. In 2015, Steve began an independent venture and started his company, IBC Global Inc. Starting out in a garage with two desks and one part-time assistant, he was focused on helping individuals set up High Cash Value policies.

Due to his tireless determination, the company produced $115,000 in revenue that year. IBC Global Inc. has grown into a full-functioning professional office with over 40 W-2 employees. The company continues to hold the same high standards of education, prompt and thorough service, and a follow-up process second to none.

Send us a textDespite a high-paying job, our guest George Fitz thought that getting into real estate would be the best thing to do for his future. In this episode, we’ll be diving into what makes self-storage better than multifamily and the vital role of networks and connections in growing in this business.WHAT TO LISTEN FORWhy do highly-paid individuals get into real estate?Disadvantages of operating your own multifamily businessTips for ensuring you’re buying a good self-storage propertyThe importance of knowing people when finding dealsAdvice for investors who are new to the self-storage spaceRESOURCES/LINKS MENTIONEDWho Not How by Dan Sullivan | Paperback https://amzn.to/3lGWoDf & Audiobook https://amzn.to/3GiLop2ABOUT GEORGE FITZGeorge Fitz is one of our incredible mentors and is responsible for assisting a number of our clients in purchasing their very first self-storage facility, as well as growing and scaling an existing portfolio. Born and raised in the small mining town of Hazard, Kentucky, he went on to get a degree in film from Northwestern University. He later moved to California and began investing in beachfront condos, single-family, and multi-family rentals, and eventually in self-storage where he has experienced a great deal of success. But his greatest achievements are in giving back to his local community by contributing to the local theater, other groups that support domestic violence, the Shriners, and children's suffering and poverty. Eventually, he found an IT consulting business, which is truly his passion but credits self-storage for allowing him to create his dream company. And we are thankful that George takes the time to mentor our clients and for sharing the blueprint for making their dreams a reality with self-storage as the engine to make it all happen.CONNECT WITH USWebsite: https://www.selfstorageinvesting.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/selfstorageinvestingTwitter: https://twitter.com/SelfStorageGuyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottameyers/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/SelfStorageInvestingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/self_storage_investing/Subscribe so you never miss a NEW episode!
