Self Storage Investing...what is the best way to get started

[David A Pennell]

I am wanting to start my own business in Self Storage. I already started my LLC, and have been partnering as an investor on some rental properties, but have not pulled the trigger on purchasing an existing self storage facility, or developed any specific plans for starting something from the ground up.

I have seen people comment about the website selfstorageinvesting.com and have started listing to some of Scott Meyers podcasts.

I am considering signing up for their live self storage accademy, but do not know if the content/ education is worth the investment (vs. reading his book, other options, etc).

Has anyone out there taken this course?  Is it worth it?  What are the other options out there?

I only recently joined BiggerPockets and it seems more tailored to residential real-estate, not Self Storage (i.e. no calculator that maybe fits the self storage model...idk).

Thanks,

Dave
