Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! This your host, AJ Osborne.

I’m super excited about today’s episode because we have another incredible guest on the podcast today. That awesome guest is Rob Labonne.

Rob was the perfect guest to have on today because like a lot of us, he’s just getting started on his self storage investment journey. Just 10 months ago, Rob acquired his first storage facility and since then close to DOUBLED the facility’s value.

How? I’m glad you asked because we’re going to dive into all of it!

Rob shares how he found the storage facility, how he financed it, and how he dramatically increased the value of the facility in just a few short months.

As most of you know, we can’t just wait for deals to come our way. We have to put in the work and build the systems necessary to put ourselves in the path of opportunity. This is a long term game that requires long term thinking and solutions. One of the largest aspects to consider is the building of real and authentic relationships with storage owners. And not just any storage owners, but the RIGHT storage owners with just the RIGHT kind of facility that meets your criteria. Yes, we’re going to talk about those key indicators you need to look for to help you identify a great value add storage opportunity.

We’re also going to go over the exact steps that Rob took to increase the value of his facility, exactly how he financed it (and the number one thing you need to look for when financing a storage facility), how to work with the city when planning any expansions, and so much more.

Get the note pads out and get ready to absorb all the value Rob brings to the table in today’s episode.

Thanks for listening everybody!
