How To Build Wealth With Mom-and-Pop Storage Facilities ft Bree Hartman EP 26

In this episode of Real Talk with REsimpli, Don Carlson and Chenay Jordan sit down with Bree Hartman, founder of Storage House Group and Self-Storage School, to talk about how real estate investors can break into self-storage without needing millions of dollars or a commercial real estate background. Bree shares how an accidental rental property, a desire for more time freedom, and a focus on one overlooked asset class led her to acquire more than $8 million in self-storage assets. She breaks down why self-storage can be such a powerful business model, how investors can find off-market mom-and-pop facilities, and why creative finance and seller financing can open doors that traditional investing strategies often miss. This conversation also dives into practical acquisition strategies investors can use right away, including how to use Google Maps to find unsophisticated storage owners, what to look for in a potential deal, how to start conversations with owners, and how AI is changing operations, customer service, and call handling in the storage industry.
