I don’t really have a background in Self Storage but I learned a lot from the guy that posted before me ☝🏼, @Michael Wagner and The Storage RebellionHe has an amazing training program and teaches not only how to find and buy self storage facilities but how to use Self Storage to create an extraordinary life!

What kind of training does that KW offer?

Service animals have a lot of training, emotional support animals are a pet and nothing more.

Over the past month, I’ve trained an AI/natural language processing model to “read” the latest court filings and generate a list of potentially motivated sellers in Houston.

I think you can easily take the train in from there or possibly make the drive in half the time.

I'm going through the training now, writing a budget plan to save capital, and boosting my credit score.

Thanks for the suggestion about David Pere, I will definitely check out his page and site.I wish I had created the intro a week earlier, I was in your neck of the woods this past week for some training at HF.

We've got a great CPA/Attorney/mentor helping us drive this train so I feel like we should be good.
