Self storage academies - Scott Meyer, Mark Helm, Alia Ott etc.

[Ronak Shah]

Hello,

Self storage investing is something I am seriously considering currently.  Looks like there are few training options for self storage that I have come across.  There is Scott Meyer's self storage academy, there is Mark Helm's Creating Wealth Through Self Storage, there is Investorsinaction.com by Terri Garner and Alia Ott and I guess few others.

I am looking for feedback from anyone who has taken training from above or someone else and let me know the good, the bad and the ugly for driven and resourceful person.  I would like to know if the initial training actually is good enough to get great start in self storage investing or like many other gurus in other fields, you need to go to the mastermind or higher level training to succeed?

Any other helpful hints to make full use of time if attending academies will be appreciated.

@Ronak Shah I can only speak to @Scott Meyers system. Have no knowledge of the other programs. I attended @Scott Meyers program approx 3 or 4 years ago. Learned how to find storage deals, analyze and value storage deals, and fund storage deals. To this day I still use the valuation spreadsheet that we were given to analyze properties. Have acquired multiple off market properties using the means and methods Scott teaches in his program. I have also used one of the lenders that was a presenter at Scott‘s academy and specializes in storage properties. Have also found @Scott Meyers to be helpful and available long after the academy was over.
