2 yrs ago I was:
Recent owner of 2 crappy storage props.
Unemployed after leaving job to buy more.
Living on wife's $50k salary.
Now I'm:
Owner of 9 decent storage props.
Still unemployed.
Banking most of $500k+ storage prop cash flow.
Buying more.

A coupla thoughts:
- Debt on
#1
-6 is significantly cheaper than
#7
-9. This shows in the numbers.
- Haven't implemented tenant insurance at properties
#1
,
#7
,
#8
. That'll add a bit of rev.
- Need to push rates more for props near/at full occupancy.
If some of those NOI margin numbers look fat, they are. Why?
- Low prop taxes.
- Low insurance.
- Low marketing spend.
-Ultra-lean, highly-effective Ops & Customer Svc team in Latin America. Latest CSR sourced via
@Hire_LATAM
(of which I am an owner).
Recent deals aren't as fat, but I still have capital to deploy and some big deals in the pipeline.
One of which will make the rest of these look like the small fries they are. Stay tuned for details on it.

Every time I see one of your threads I stare at the ceiling for 5 minutes rethinking the next 10 years
Congrats on the success and can’t wait for the details on acquisitions to come!
