🔥 Unlock the Storage Mentor Inner Circle!
Most people interested in self-storage investing never buy a facility. They watch videos. They read books. They analyze deals. But they stay stuck on the sidelines. Not because they lack information…but because they lack clarity, guidance, and the right community around them. That’s exactly why I created the Storage Mentor Inner Circle. This is where the most committed members of the Freedom Through Storage community come together to move beyond theory and start taking action. Inside the Inner Circle, we focus on real progress. Members bring deals they are analyzing. We break down opportunities together. We talk through financing, operations, and strategy. It’s not just education. It’s collaboration with investors who are actively building their path to freedom.

📌Live Q&A Recap | Physical vs Economic Occupancy (This Changes Everything)
We had another solid Live Q&A on Thursday and this one hit on some big real-world topics. We got into things like: - The difference between physical vs economic occupancy (and why most people get this wrong) - How to handle delinquent tenants when underwriting a deal - What to do with abandoned or non-paying units before closing - Real auction scenarios and how they actually play out - Conversion costs when turning buildings into storage - Big takeaway… 👉 If you’re underwriting deals based on physical occupancy, you’re lying to yourself. What actually matters is what’s being collected… not what’s being occupied. Most deals look good on paper until you realize half the tenants aren’t paying. Inside the full replay, we broke this down step by step and talked through how to clean up a deal BEFORE you buy it. 🔒 Replay access is unlocked at Level 3 inside the community and can be found inside the Q&A Call Replay Vault. If you’re not there yet… Start engaging: - Like posts - Comment - Ask questions - Show up - That’s how you level up and unlock everything. And if you want to take it even further… 👉 The Inner Circle is where we go deep: - Real deal breakdowns - Live feedback - Strategy + execution If that’s you, let’s talk: [Shane's Calendly]

Do you give your "boots on the ground" a free unit at your facility?
Question for current facility owners. Shane and I have never had a problem allowing our any of our BOG to have a free unit (depending on occupancy, of course). It gives them a different prospective utilizing the facility as a customer as well as an employee. Do any of you do this? If so, what issues have you experienced? Positive or Negative..
