    How To Analyze a Self-Storage Project With One Single Random Daily Close

    How To Analyze a Self-Storage Project With One Single Random Daily Close

    Often, we deal directly with a seller when buying self-storage.
    Or often, with listed property, we see a shiny OM (offering memorandum) and everything looks great. Then we see the other due diligence documents, and the facility can lose some of its luster.
    I have often stated that I could look at a random daily “Management Report” and get a lot of information I need to generate an offer or start negotiating.
    Let’s look at one together

    Meet Smitty – President and General Contractor for Resolve

    Meet Smitty – President and General Contractor for Resolve

    Smitty is my partner in a self-storage company designed to take the small investor through the entitlement process for self-storage projects in an affordable way and then bid on the construction of the project in a competitive environment, ensuring clients get the best value possible.
    We feel this is a powerful way, in today’s high-cost environment, to give smaller players a competitive edge and help bring projects online that may otherwise not happen.
    Yardi just released Q4 data on the self-storage industry, and development projects are being abandoned at a high rate today.
    Let Smitty explain the company’s unique approach to assisting smaller self-store owners and investors with their self-storage development and/or construction projects.

    Your Self-Storage Team

    Your Self-Storage Team

    Self-Storage tends to attract lone wolves who want the freedom and independence this business can offer.
    But here’s the deal: no one can be successful by themselves. It takes a village.
    Or a team, in this case.
    Let’s discuss the basics of who I think are the players on your self-storage team if you are creating a self-storage project.
    I have the privilege of scaling a new company (Resolve) with a construction partner helping small storage investors get to biddable plans, then execute self-storage construction using the process and team members I have utilized over the years in my own projects.
    Let me share that with you now!

    My Boat & RV Revelation

    My Boat & RV Revelation

    I had a few ah-ha moments at the recent Inside Self-Storage Convention (ISS) a few weeks ago.
    One of them was about the future of Boat & RV developments as a niche in the storage space.
    I heard a statistic that I’ve heard a few times before, but this time, something happened.
    I had a revelation and could see it all.
    Let me share it with you.
