On this episode I interview Steve Cavanaugh. Steve has been a highly-successful single-family real estate investor and coach for many years, most recently launching his own coaching program, “Ascend”, with Alex Pardo.  Once Steve switched his focus to self storage investing, he purchased three facilities in the span of three months. Today, we’ll be going a little deeper on how that transition occurred and why now is the right time for Steve to invest in storage.Join the Self Storage Playbook Facebook Group to connect with other members of our growing community.

On  this episode, I talk with 19-year-old Brett Abamonte. About a year and a half ago, Brett was exhaustingly pursuing single-family rentals as a means for cash flow and wealth generation. As the laws have become increasingly more unfavorable towards landlords, he turned to self storage in the summer of 2020. Brett walked from his 2 two deals under contract and is currently under contract on a third: a 18,000 sf facility in Texas. He also has two additional deals in his pipeline. We’ll be talking about what helped him shift his focus and what keeps him going when deals don’t go as planned.

Terry Royce sits down with Jon Farling, a self-storage owner in Columbus, Ohio. In a span of just 18 months, Jon sold his four, single-family rentals and acquired four storage facilities. Today, Jon shares how he transitioned to self-storage investing, how to deal with security issues, and his business preferences in self-storage. Since the birth of Jon’s daughter, he started thinking about his finances differently. After calculating for retirement and his daughter’s college tuition, he realized that he needed to make some changes. He started real estate investing at around this time and bought single family rental homes. In 2019, he discovered self-storage investing. Currently, he operates 4 storage facilities in Columbus, Ohio. Since his transition into self-storage, he has tripled his income. His equities in several self-storage deals are projected to significantly exceed his 401k returns by the time he retires. What convinced Jon to go “all-in” on self-storage was his goals. He had done his research and constantly reminded himself of what he wanted to achieve. The roadmap that he created gave him the push to acquire his first facility. During his first two weeks as a storage owner, he faced break-ins and squatting in some of the units. He was unfazed as he recognized that initial problems were part of the process. On his third month of operations, his decision to invest in self-storage was affirmed when he started earning $15,000 monthly.

   Welcome to the Self Storage Playbook Podcast. My name is Terry Royce and I’ll be your host.  I’ve been investing in real estate since 2008  through wholesaling, rehabbing & rental properties in Baltimore, Maryland . Since then I’ve completed over 700 transactions and created an extremely successful real estate operation in my market.  While our systems and team were mostly dialed-in, it was a highly-demanding, time-and-management intensive role.    Fast forward to the spring of 2020 when the world shut down.  My wife and I had been talking about making a change “someday” and saw the opportunity that we were afforded to make this massive life change right then. We saw self storage as a means that allowed us to have the autonomy we craved while getting to spend as much time as possible with our young, growing family.  So, after running a highly successful single family real estate company and amassing a large rental portfolio, I sold it all in the summer of 2020 in pursuit of a life on my own terms with self storage investing as a catalyst for this massive change.  Thank you for coming along with us on this journey!  We’d love to hear what you think of the episodes and for you to join our online Facebook community at www.SelfStoragePlaybook.com or if you know someone that would provide tons of value on the show or just want to connect, reach out to us directly at [email protected] the Self Storage Playbook Facebook Group to connect with other members of our growing community.
