Summary

Buying 18 self-storage facilities comes with its fair share of lessons, and today I’m diving into the top nine mistakes I made along the way. These aren’t just trivial slip-ups; they’re real learning points that have shaped my approach to investing in this space. From skipping crucial physical inspections to not vetting my team adequately, each error taught me something important about the business. I’ll be sharing insights on how a lack of planning can impact site access and the importance of verifying payments after closing—because trust me, those details matter. As we unpack these experiences, I hope you find value in my journey, whether you're just starting out or already navigating the self-storage landscape.
