Cinco De MAyo
Cinco de Mayo marks the Battle of Puebla. Where a smaller, less-equipped force beat a much larger army. Underdogs win more often than people think. Same applies in business. The biggest players don’t always have the advantage. Happy Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽

Is this a parable of us competing against the REITs? 🤔
Introduction
Hey everyone, my name is Jeff. I’m excited to be here and ready to learn. I’m currently working on building new income streams and creating more financial freedom in my life. Storage facilities caught my attention because of the long-term potential and scalability, so I decided to dive in and really understand how this business works. Right now, I’m focused on learning the fundamentals—how to find deals, analyze numbers, and eventually acquire my first facility. I’m not afraid to start small, I just want to start smart. Looking forward to connecting with others here, learning from your experiences, and taking consistent action. If you have any advice for someone just getting started, I’m all ears. Let’s grow 🙌

Welcome aboard! I'm new here as well, but the best way to get the maximum benefit out of the group is to jump in and participate on a regular basis!

@Tommy Xaysongkham Great practical advice.
Wood units
Just toured a facility and noticed something interesting… The units are built out with wood / plywood walls instead of metal panels. I uploaded a picture for reference 👀 Curious how others here think about this: 👉 Do you typically buy facilities like this? 👉 Have you upgraded wood interiors to metal, or left them as-is? 👉 Does this impact tenant quality, rents, or insurance in your experience? My initial thoughts: - Feels more like an older / mom & pop build - Could be value-add… or could mean future CapEx - Not sure if it’s worth converting everything or just improving what’s there Would love to hear from anyone who’s actually dealt with this. How do you approach a facility with wood-built units? @David Johnstone

@Dave DeMink That was my first thought as well (cutting through to other units). And in the southern US, I suspect that termites abound.

@Wes Eaves @Cassandra Avila Thanks Wes. We'll be in touch as we work through this one.

I'm a retired engineer IN Texas. My Marine veteran partner, Cassandra Avila, and I are actively looking for self storage assets for cash flow. FYI, we connected via Skool in another group and really hit it off. Networking works! I've already seen some tremendous value in the classroom calls I've listened to so far. Looking forward to much more!

@Dave DeMink Thanks. We both really enjoyed and benefited from the first Power Hour call we attended yesterday.
