This post isn't for everyone. If you are seriously considering purchasing a storage facility in the next 12 months and you are willing to put in the work. First Facility is where you need to be! The energy, support, networking, and family atmosphere inside First Facility is dialed in for one thing: action takers who are ready to move. ARE YOU COMING?

"I just kept showing up." That's what Nick told me after he closed his first self-storage facility. No magic trick, no overnight win. Just five months of consistent work inside a system that actually points you in the right direction. When Nick joined the community, he didn't have a deal, a broker list, or a clear plan. What he did have was the willingness to follow the framework. He started building broker relationships so he'd get the first call on off-market opportunities. He layered in direct mail and cold calls to motivated sellers. He even used the Fiverr Google scraping method to build a lead list without burning weekends on research. Multi-channel deal flow is what separates the people who close from the people who keep "looking." The reason this works is because Phase 1 isn't about luck. It's about volume and consistency across the right channels. I've used these same off-market methods to buy several of my 8 facilities, and brokers are usually where the best ones come from. If you want to see exactly how I build those relationships so deals come to me first, watch this one: https://youtu.be/pdQMvZhvSJA.

Nick came into StorageAce the way a lot of people do — motivated, smart, but spinning. He'd been researching storage for months on his own, watching videos, running numbers he wasn't sure how to read, trying to reverse-engineer deals without a real framework. Sound familiar? What changed wasn't effort. Nick already had that. What changed was that he stopped going it alone. He got into a system, surrounded himself with a community of people actually doing deals, and started working with coaches who have closed facilities themselves — not just taught about them. Five months later, he closed his first self storage facility. That's not a fluke. That's what happens when you stop guessing and start executing with the right structure around you. I've closed 10 deals myself, own 9 of them now — over 200,000 square feet of storage — and I can tell you the pattern is consistent. Clarity leads to action. Action leads to deals. Nick's story isn't unique. It's repeatable. If you want to map out what that path looks like for you specifically — where you are, where you want to go, and what's actually in the way — book a First Facility Game Plan Call here: https://join.storageace.io/booking-page-8324 Dave "8 Facilities.

Good morning, Aces— I wanted to share a real deal with you all that I personally own with a couple partners. We’ are selling it, and I thought this would be a great opportunity for the group. The OM is attached for your review. Not as a pitch—just as a learning and potential opportunity. 👉 It’s a turnkey storage facility with solid fundamentals 👉 It’s a great deal to practice underwriting on 👉 And if it fits for anyone, I’m open to a conversation Zero pressure—whether you look at it for education or opportunity, both are wins. Reach out if you want the details or want to walk through it together. It’s a 107-unit, ~23,000 SF self-storage facility in the Chicago MSA (McHenry, IL) with strong occupancy (~93%), in-place cash flow.

Sending out some direct mail for a couple of properties that I’ve been researching. What are you doing today to get you closer to what you want?
