Post-Interview Analysis
Key Lessons Learned: In real estate, there is always an individual situation with a property that could make it a good deal, independent of what the larger market is doing.How did they acquire their knowledge or what knowledge did they need to acquire? They learned mostly by doing. There is only so much you can learn from books and podcasts, eventually, you need to get out there and start doing it, and it’s there that you will learn the most.How much money did it take to get started? About $25,000How much time does it take now? It’s mostly a full-time job while they are in acquisition mode.Could they do this strategy from anywhere in the world? Yes, she is setting up her self storage business such that she could pretty much run it from anywhere that she has access to the internet.
