I would also find a mentor or a mastermind group once you are ready to shorten your learning curve and provide access to their network.Good Luck,Joe

I can't speak for the mastermind/academy you mentioned, but if you're starting out, connecting and spending time with people who are investing in or are looking to invest in self storage is the best bet to go about it.

I have been to masterminds that had some of the top wholesale gurus and other guru's in them. and some of the questions these so called experts ask is really quite funny.. what they are really good at is marketing themselves and their class's..One can simply pop on E bay and look up your favorite coach there will be students who never did anything selling all their books Cds etc for 50 to 100 bucks I would go about collecting all of those first .. 

I’ve joined David Greene’s mastermind and starting gobundance emerge in January 2023

His deal analyst tool is the best out there I think and his has a mastermind program you can join for $49 a month I think to network and have others give you feedback on your deal analysis.

Are there are mastermind or local investing groups that you can recommend? 

You will learn a lot about the business and the market talking with cash buyers.Best way to find cash buyers is networking at local REI meetups, masterminds, Facebook groups, Realtors, title companies, closing attorneys, property management companies, auctions, Craigslist, and bandit signs.You can search real estate transactions in your tax database.

Spend a few months building a mastermind of other investors local to you.  

Make sure to post some pics and feel free to invite us international investors there for a mastermind.

I would like to join a Mastermind group to connect with like-minded folks to keep the momentum going.Drop a comment below if there are any mastermind groups that would be a great fit!
