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

Hey everyone, quick question for those already operating self-storage facilities or who’ve gone through a website setup recently. I’m looking for recommendations on the best website platform/company for a storage facility website. My main priorities are: - Easy online rentals/reservations - Online payment processing - Ability for customers to easily manage their account - Mobile-friendly site - Good SEO / Google visibility is a plus I’d also love to hear if there are any features you wish you had added sooner that helped operations run smoother. Also, for business email, do you prefer using a Google Workspace/Gmail address tied to your domain, or have you had better luck with something like Outlook/Microsoft? Trying to build this the right way from the start, so any recommendations (or companies to avoid) would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

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 🇲🇽

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 🙌

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!
