Sometimes one shovel at a time is the only way.
Our pool was filled to the top with sand thanks to Hurricane Miltion. The pool is squeezed in and has no access for large equipment. And even if you could get a backhoe to the pool it would do more damage to the pool.
So the only way to clean is one shovel at a time. The key is to have the right amount of people with shovels.
Finding self storage land at times can feel like you are shoveling sand from a pool. One shovel out of 100 will have a gem. Again the key is having help and knowing how to shift through land as fast as possible until you find your gem.
Here are the 6 best ways to find land:
It is recommended you spend 20% of your time on each of the methods using these time-tested methods. It is hard to know which one will find the land and it is often different for everyone. We have helped many people find land and each option has provided results with word of mouth being a part of all ways of finding land.
We have found it takes an individual 8- 12 months to find land if they have the proper guidance, a weekly written game plan based upon these land search methods, and spend at least 8 hours a week searching for land.
#1 Word of mouth: Share your Land needs with individuals 3-5 times a day = 21 to 35 times per week
#2 Actually drive roads: 3+ hours a week physically driving the roads.
#3 Contact landowners whose land is not listed for sale to see if they would sell. Contact offline landowners: call, email or send a letter. 3 – 5 times a week. Use regrid.com
#4 Contact the landowners of parcels noted as pipeline projects in the Radius & Stortrack apps.
#5 Personally call on land for sale by brokers on the internet: 3 -5 calls a day = 21 to 35
per week (call on 50 before you hire an agent for access to present and future pocket listings)
#6 Hire a self-storage land expert to find land for you. (Cost $300,000+) or buy land with approvals ( Land price will often be double + pre design land)
If you would like a dedicated team of self storage experts on your side send me an email and I will send you more info you can read to see if we should have a call. marc@storageauthority.com
