369. One Self Storage Facility Made Me a Millionaire w/Alex Quezada

Alex Quezada’s first self storage facility made him over a million dollars. That has to be just luck, right? Over the next six years, he bought 18 more self storage investments, selling several for a $1M+ payday and keeping the others that would cash-flow him to financial freedom. And get this—he did it in Florida, the state with some of the wildest insurance costs and taxes. 

How did Alex scale so quickly and build a portfolio that takes even the experts decades to do?

Back in 2020, Alex was a tired single-family rental landlord. Whether it was holidays, weekends, or birthdays, it didn’t matter—tenants were blowing up his phone. Toilet problems, AC issues—the usual. This wasn’t sustainable; the money wasn't worth it, and he needed a way to build truly scalable wealth. The answer was self storage.

Since that first deal, Alex has bought 18 more facilities, sold four, and held on to 15. He’s done seller financing to fund many of them, direct mail campaigns to get off-market owners to the table, and runs call centers with AI for zero downtime and fast customer service, so no tenant is ever locked out of a unit or a gate. Alex is a master in this game, and we got him to share everything, from structuring seller financing to his exact cadence of direct mail for the most lead flow.

A $1,000,000 check could change any investor's life. This is how Alex does it routinely.
