Folks, I would like to invite you to a Zoom being hosted by our very own Scott Mednick Self-Storage 101 & 102 Tuesday at 5 pm pst https://us06web.zoom.us/meetings/88182921601/invitations?signature=5pdkmKvoeFR7wuInKvIZq-RWcRVOGZl0K15MpRyKKbw You will want to join and connect with folks working on underwriting, deal reviews, and some Q&A. Look forward to seeing you there. 🤗

As we move into reviewing active projects, investing, and closing deals, we’ll be bringing two active opportunities to the club to walk through the full process together. I’d like to get a pulse from the group — who’s interested in participating in these projects? This could include: - Watching and learning through the underwriting process - Participating in the review and analysis - Getting involved as an investor, operator, or in another supportive role Once I have some feedback, we’ll schedule a live session to break down each deal in detail. Please reply if you’re interested so we can move quickly — both projects are active, and timelines are tight, but we’ll do our best to accommodate everyone’s schedules. Thanks,

Good evening SSIC, As we move toward setting up our JV structure for self‑storage projects, I’d like to build a list of members who are interested in potentially investing in deals with the club. This is simply to identify who wants to be kept in the loop as opportunities develop, not a commitment to invest. If you’d like to be on the “interested in investing” list, please send me the following by direct message (DM) or email to: [email protected] - First and last name - Best email - Best phone number This will help us prepare properly for upcoming JV agreements and keep you informed as we bring active self‑storage projects into the group. Thank you,

Good Saturday, all ... I've been working to build more value to the group and bring in some more resources, capital partners for deals folks wanted to bring in for funding, some strategies for finding deals, education for the self-storage business, etc. However, The Skool platform is not as easily set up for this as some other platforms out there. I have been experimenting with Slack and exploring whether we should move the group to that platform instead of Skool. If anyone would like to voice their ideas, suggestions, feedback, experiences with Slack, or anything they wish to share about moving this group, I would definitely love to discuss. I look forward to hearing feedback

I want to quickly reset the vision for this group, where we are now, and how we’re moving forward. What this group is about This was never meant to be a “course to sell.” The intention from day one has been: - A place to partner, collaborate, and ask questions. - A place to learn the self‑storage business together (finding deals, underwriting, operations, creative finance). - A place to share tools, resources, and lessons learned. - And ultimately, a place to bring real self‑storage deals so members can learn from them and, where it makes sense, participate as partners or investors. Phase 1: Gauging interest (where we came from) I started SSIC here on Skool mainly to see if there was real interest in a self‑storage‑focused group. I kept things intentionally light while I worked behind the scenes: - Building the acquisitions side of the business. - Building the capital side so we can actually bring people into projects. On the acquisitions front, we’ve recently added three people to the team – a realtor, a broker, and a business broker, all to expand our outreach and deal sourcing. The goal is to start bringing live self‑storage opportunities into this group for us to review, learn from, and potentially partner on. Phase 2: Education + community (what happens here on Skool) Skool will be our home base for: - Community and conversation (posts, questions, wins, deal ideas). - Education: trainings, underwriting walkthroughs, and Q&A. - Replays of group calls. - Resources: spreadsheets, checklists, scripts, and SOPs. You’ll see this get organized into a few simple areas: - Classroom: core trainings and recorded sessions. - Deals: threads where we post and break down specific self‑storage opportunities together. - Resources: links, docs, calculators, checklists - Events: live underwriting calls, strategy sessions, and Q&A. Phase 3: Investing together (how we’ll handle deals) When we start inviting members into actual investments, we’ll use a dedicated investing platform that is built for group ownership and compliant capital raises (initially something like Fractional, and in time, potentially a proper SEC‑compliant fund or fund‑of‑funds structure).
