Identifying Good Deals in Great Markets - The Art and Science

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income podcast. This is your host AJ Osborne. I don’t know how many calls, messages, and emails I have received from you all and replied to that had to do with this very topic. This alone makes me proud, as this is obviously one of the biggest key factors to help ensure your storage investment success. First and foremost, there is no one size fits all generalization of a market or what makes a good deal. Each deal, each market needs to be analyzed on a case by case basis and compared to your investment criteria. There is an art and a science to finding good storage deals in great markets and that art and science is exactly what we’re going to dive into today. We’ll go over the first thing that I look for in markets to identify a good market, the macroeconomic factors affecting the self storage industry and what you can do to position yourself, a surefire sign of when to completely avoid a market, and more. We also share our three pillars of deal flow that have allowed us to get four facilities under contract this year so far with more on the horizon. Thanks for tuning in everybody, we’ll see you next time.
