When I analyze storage markets, the first thing I look at is the crime rate in that area. For a long time, if I saw the crime rate was higher than the national average, I automatically passed on the deal. Out of curiosity, I checked the crime rate in my own city today—and I was shocked to see it’s actually higher than both the state and national averages. Maybe I have lived in the bubble! I guess from now on, any market with a crime rate lower than 62 is going to look good to me!

Thoughts on this logo design for D'Lo Self Storage? (It's located in the town of D'Lo)

Right now, I'm in North Dakota with my wife Jennifer and our son, visiting the University of North Dakota. My son is chasing his dream to become a pilot, and he's just about 3 weeks away from earning his private pilot's license. UND is one of the top aviation programs in the country, and we're here making memories while supporting his dream. On Thursday, I'm headed to Indianapolis to watch my oldest daughter, Madison, compete in a volleyball tournament. Madison earned a D1 volleyball scholarship at an east coast school next yeare, and my opportunities to see her play as much as I do now are quickly shrinking. So I'm soaking up every moment I can. Four years ago, I embarked on what I believed was a 10-year journey toward financial and time freedom. But something incredible happened... That 10-year timeline shrank dramatically—down to just 4 years. Self-storage changed everything. Today, I don't ask permission to travel with my family. I don't stress about missing out on life's biggest moments. I simply go. If you're a stuck, overwhelmed with your 9-5, grinding day after day to fulfill someone else's dreams... I see you. I WAS YOU. My journey accelerated the moment I hired a coach. Someone who had the game plan, knew all the answers, and helped me take confident, strategic action. Now, I'm looking for 7 motivated individuals to join me this April in a brand new case study group. You'll learn everything about self-storage investing, end-to-end, and position yourself to close your first deal within the next 6 months. If you're ready for time freedom, financial independence, and the power to choose how you spend your days... Comment "FREEDOM" below. I'll personally reach out to schedule a clarity call, and together we'll craft your custom game plan.
