Ten boxes to check to determine you’re ready to develop your first self-storage.
1) Are you part of the 1- 3 percenter ready to own their own business? ie Have the confidence and willingness to take a risk on yourself and your future. 2) Are you willing to keep your job for the next 3-6 years until you replace your income with self-storage income? ie work more hours temporarily so you can work many hours less if you choose to. 3) Are you willing to spend time to find land both on and offline?. 4) Do you have $450K minimum cash equity ready to invest in phase one (SBA loan – $3MM loan) And have you talked to a banker? 5) Is your spouse on board? 6) Do you understand the development time frame? 7) Do you understand the rent up time frame? 8) Do you have a reason ( other than money) why you are going to do this? 9) Are you ready to learn? 10) Have you ordered the Self Storage trade magazine from Inside Self Storage?

Things we love to do besides self-storage.
I love to have a glass of wine and dinner at outdoor restaurants with my beautiful wife GP. And now it is even more fun when we don’t read the menu left to right. There are a few rooftop bars in Sarasota and we are going to check them all out. Check out the view from the Westin rooftop bar we just went to! (last photo) We would love to meet you for dinner this winter in Sarasota!
Whats holding you back? You Can do it! You deserve it!
