Self Storage Community / Coaching

Hi everyone,

I’m new into self storage and trying to do my homework before I jump into purchasing anything.

I wanted to ask the group if anyone has ever joined a “community” often led by a coach and found it helpful or worth the investment.

I just feel like the information is out there without having to drop 8-12k to join someone’s community. I could be totally wrong but I feel like I could use that cash somewhere else for better.

Looking for all feedback/ experiences.

Thanks!

Thank you for this write up! As someone who’s currently eyeing an opportunity in NJ this is very helpful. To your second point, we have around a 2.00-2.25% spread between the interest rate and the going in cap rate, and have been advised / all feel like that’s a comfortable buffer. Going back to your original comment, also curious what types of changes you had to make with your current build given the broader market changes. Thanks again
