Excited to share my latest article on Inside Self Storage: "Self-Storage Investment Partnerships: Building Value Through Collaboration." In today's competitive market, going solo in self-storage can limit your upside—but the right partner? That's your rocket fuel.
Here are three game-changing insights from the piece:
Fill the Gaps: Great partnerships hinge on complementary strengths—whether it's capital, industry know-how, or boots-on-the-ground energy. No one has it all, but together? You can tackle projects that were previously out of reach.
Vet Early, Win Big: When approaching partners, listen beyond the "yes." Probe for alignment on risks, profits, and exit strategies. Red flags like hesitation or misaligned goals can sink a deal before it sails.
Premium Pays Off: Aim for 15-20% higher returns by pricing 30% above market—but only if your service matches (think Ritz-Carlton vibes for storage units). Education and transparency turn potential pitfalls into profits.
Whether you're a seasoned investor or just dipping your toes, strategic collaboration is key to resilient cash flows and growth.

Getting a check declined by Certegy when your account balance is fine can make you feel like you’ve done something wrong, but it’s usually not your fault. Certegy runs on algorithms that flag transactions based on “risk data,” not actual account issues, which means even a clean record can trigger a denial. Under the FCRA, you’re entitled to see what information they used and dispute anything that’s inaccurate. This guide explains how that works and what steps to take next: https://consumerattorneys.com/article/certegy-check-services-declined-check. A quick dispute might not always fix it, but getting legal help under the FCRA can force them to investigate properly — and sometimes that’s the only way to stop the system from repeating the same mistake.
