Key Takeaways:
"My idea was to get into an office [brokerage] where there were experts all around me, and so anything I wanted to learn or have questions about, I could just literally godown the hall, I could just go talk to an expert in the region. I got to learn there, the market very well." - Marc Bushee
"One of the big appealing factors for us about storage facilities is that they're easier to manage, they're easier to maintain. And they're just, it's just more simplified." - Marc Bushee
"From a property management standpoint, [storage facilities] it just simplifies everything, having one central location. I've kind of transferred over most of my property management to other people. It's not always easy to find property managers that want to have 10,15, 20, 30 houses all over town. It's so much easier to have just one site like that." - Marc Bushee
"I can't see where you can go wrong with it [real estate]. There's so much to it as far as like the income itself, there's the wealth-building aspect of your asset appreciating. Ideally, someone's paying off your mortgage, and you're leveraging money, leveraging time." - Marc Bushee
"Is it for everyone to be directly involved in it [real estate]? You can be as active and hands-on as you want, or you can be very passive and invest with partners and invest with other people." - Marc Bushee
