Hey there,

We're coming off the heels of an incredible live event last week (if you were there, you know) - but I'm excited to get back to business, especially with the recent fed cut. 

So let's get right to the resources for this week. Here's what you'll learn: 

âś… Who will win and who will get left behind in this next economic cycle

âś… How to run a profitable storage facility (with a 9 to 5)

âś… The American dream isn't dead - it just moved online

[ AJO Podcast ] The Fed Just Reset the Economic “Cycle”

 

 

After years of economic tightening and high interest rates, stubborn inflation, and American purchasing power shrinking dramatically, the Fed has finally reversed course, heading towards an “easing” cycle. But something more interesting than rate cut news came out of recent Fed meetings—it’s what the Fed didn’t say.

Jerome Powell has switched from familiar verbiage to some new phrasing, priming us that we could be in a much different position than we’ve been in before. This has enormous implications for the next moves the Fed makes, and whether we’ll see interest rates fall even more as a result. Was the Fed too late with this move, with unemployment already rising and job revisions pushing us into an even deeper hole? I’m explaining who will win and who will get left behind in this next cycle.

[ SSI Podcast ] Making $500K+ on a Small-Town Self Storage Facility (& Working 9-5!)

 

 

Investing in storage units can be life-changing—just ask Braedon Haertling. With one self storage investment, he built $500,000+ in equity, boosted the value of his facility by nearly $1,000,000, and created a six-figure income stream—all while still working his 9–5 job.

If you’ve thought about buying a storage facility, his story proves you don’t need decades of experience to succeed. Braedon went from one rental property to buying his first self storage facility using a $0-down “seller carry” strategy. Now his first self storage investment is over 90% occupied in a town of only 3,200 people. Thinking about buying your first self storage facility? This breakdown shows why investing in storage units can be one of the smartest moves you’ll ever make.

The American Dream evolved - and millennials who understand this new landscape are about to dominate while others chase outdated playbooks.

The Operator’s Guide to Financing Your Facility
Hey there,  Today I want to talk about financing. It’s the part of the storage business that most operators underestimate until it bites them. I’ve seen great assets in bad capital structures lose everything. I’ve also seen average assets in smart capital structures generate wealth through two recessions, a pandemic, and the fastest rate cycle in 40 years. Today’s newsletter is all about how to...
