The headlines are everywhere: “Self-storage is the most resilient asset in real estate.” “Achieve passive income with storage.” While the success stories are real, there is an honest truth that often gets glossed over: Development is not a “get rich quick” scheme, and it isn’t for everyone. Many potential developers start the journey only to realize it doesn’t fit their lifestyle or long-term goals. At Storage Authority, we believe that understanding why people walk away is actually the best way to determine if you have what it takes to cross the finish line.
We recently hosted an exclusive webinar featuring Marc Goodin, CEO of Storage Authority, to dive deep into the mechanics of this business. If you missed the live session, you can watch the full replay below.

Moving Beyond the "Passive Income" Myth
One of the biggest hurdles for new developers isn't the land or the capital, it’s the shift in mindset. While the ultimate goal is often a "four-hour work week," getting there requires being the boss.
In this session, Marc explains why the "secret sauce" of a successful facility isn't just the metal and concrete; it’s the owner's involvement during the design and construction phases. We discuss the reality of the 8-hour-a-week commitment and how that upfront work creates a massive retirement nest egg down the road.
What We Cover in This Session:
The 7 Most Common Hurdles: We explore the obstacles that stop potential owners in their tracks and help you determine if they are valid concerns or just myths holding you back.
Market Skepticism: Learn how to stop guessing and start using micro-market data to find "impossible" opportunities in competitive areas.
Managing Fear: Discover why self-storage has one of the lowest loan failure rates in real estate and how education mitigates your risk.
The Capital Puzzle: We break down creative structures, SBA loans, and partnerships to bridge the gap between your current savings and a six-figure income.
Stop Guessing and Start Building
Whether you are worried about finding the right land or you feel like you lack the technical experience to compete with the "big guys," this webinar provides the blueprint. We aren't just talking about why people fail; we are showing you how successful owners overcome these exact obstacles.
Are you ready to see if you have what it takes to build a legacy?
