America’s Top Investors Are Raving About
AJ Osborne & The Inner Circle 

Brandon Turner

Former Host @ Bigger Pockets Podcast and CEO @ Open Door Capital
 
“AJ Osborne is one of the most legit, successful real estate investors that I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. He’s one of the people I trust more than anybody. AJ is the real deal.”

Roc Pilon

Founder/CEO, Gymreapers
 
“AJ’s ability to dissect and break down complex business principles and overlay them into a remarkably powerful investing vehicle like self-storage provides an entirely new perspective on an age-old industry, and lights the way for new investors interested in self-storage.”

Financial Freedom Is The End.

Self Storage Is The Means.

Each year, “gurus” around the world sell books and courses designed to help you achieve financial freedom. More often than not, the only person achieving financial freedom is the “guru” themself.

Promises of personal transformation and secret success strategies litter the internet with virtually no proof of results. Instead of pitching you another get rich quick scheme, I am going to tell you why investing in self storage facilities is the fastest, most efficient way to achieving financial independence.

If after reading what I have to say, you’re interested in taking action, we’ll welcome your application to our Inner Circle with open arms. If you determine self storage investing isn’t for you, no worries - everyone’s path to success is different and I wish you the best. 

My path led me to $350M in assets under management. 

I’m here to open my playbook to you and give you the tools and strategies you need to walk your path to success with self storage investing.

Hi, I’m AJ Osborne.

on Self Storage Investing

Self storage investing quite literally saved my life.

Shortly after the birth of my fourth child, I became paralyzed from head to toe. I was unexpectedly struck with a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain Barre Syndrome. I was on life support for months unable to move, eat, or breath.

Let’s flashback for a second. Prior to this experience, I was a hustling benefits consultant. Working for myself, I felt like I had transcended the 9-5 life and was making great money. It wasn’t until I one day realized I hadn’t transcended anything - all I did was give myself more bosses. If I stopped working, my cash would stop flowing.

Realizing the risk I was exposed to, I went to my business partner and proposed a complete overhaul in our business - we were going to drop the consulting and pivot 100% to self storage investing.

Like any transition, we endured obstacles but ultimately we were able to figure it out and build a sizable portfolio. When I was paralyzed, my self storage investments supported me and my family. Regardless of whether I showed up, those storage facilities kept kicking off cash flow and it was this cash flow that gave me and my family the space and time I needed to heal.

Fast forward to today, my company Cedar Creek Capital has $350M in assets under management, I’m the leading author and podcast host globally in the self storage industry, and I now dedicate my days to helping men and women like you achieve financial freedom and protect their family’s future.

Heather Van Deest

Owns four facilities and has improved operations
since joining the Inner Circle. 

"I just feel like it's such a good investment because not only is it education, but I feel like I've actually saved my business a lot of money in mistakes that, you know, that I could have made. Now we all make mistakes and I continue to make mistakes, but I'm learning every day and I have avoided a lot of mistakes and saved a lot of money being in the group for sure."

Bree Hartman

Purchased first two facilities by partnering with two Inner Circle members during her membership

"So I think the Inner Circle is so special because AJ and his team are so open to sharing information, like in the storage world, a lot of owners, are very open, but there's a lot of industries where things are closed off and people are only going to share with you a certain amount of information.  And so I love how in the Inner Circle you can come to AJ with any questions... 

And he'll literally take his teammates and him and walk you through these different steps and show you how he does it in his business and then how he would do it starting day one.

 
 

Tony McNickle

Got his first storage deal under contract after joining the Inner Circle and partnered with another member.

"One of the primary reasons for for joining this group, amongst others, and making the investment in myself in the group was to accelerate my education and my ability to find and put in a contract, my first storage facility by any means necessary, through the education, through the through the contacts and the networking and the groups,

I truly believe was part of being part of this group, being part of the meetings every week and being committed and disciplined in moving forward with the path in the process."

Drake Schmid

Developed his first storage deal and has since acquired another since joining the Inner Circle

Now that I've joined Inner Circle, I went from not having any storage facilities and being just in the residential market to now I have two facilities, got my ground up development open getting to talk to the people that are in the industry, they're very normal people. And this is not, we're not building space acts, we're putting people's stuff in storage. So it's got it a lot more attainable. because we are also singularly focused on storage, that it's really easy to communicate with them about it. I know a lot of people in our lives don't like hearing about storage all day, every day, but these people do.

 

Matthew Wallace

Has developed multiple self storage facilities as he scales his business while being a part of the Inner Circle

So one of the things that being in a group like this, people have done a lot more deals, are doing it all the time, and they're doing those projects. They've vetted people, they've had the bad ones, they have the more experienced ones. And when you're in the group, they'll just, you know, you can easily get that answered in this event.

AJ and his entire team, they're constantly trying to get better. They're constantly doing more deals. They're trying to implement a lot of the things. You can save yourself a lot of problems and headaches. You can learn what you should do or you shouldn't do before you even buy one. Or if you have bought one, you'll figure out how to optimize it.
