Everyone’s hunting for the perfect facility… but here’s the truth no one tells you: You can fix a bad building, but you can’t fix a bad market. Buy in the wrong location, and you’re signing up for high vacancies, cutthroat price wars, and more sleepless nights than you bargained for.

In this episode of the Storage Wins Podcast, Alex Pardo breaks down the exact 5-step framework he uses to choose the right markets, the kind that practically stack the odds in your favor.You’ll learn how to dodge the $2M mistake too many investors regret, and how to find markets where even an average deal can turn into a serious win.

Hit play and find your next winning market, before someone else does.

You’ll Learn How To:

  • Spot the difference between a good facility and a good market and why it matters
  • Avoid overbuilt, oversupplied areas that quietly kill your returns
  • Use population, income, and job growth data to find strong demand
  • Calculate square feet per capita so you can buy with confidence
  • Become the big fish in the right market instead of getting crushed by REITs

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

(00:00) Why market selection is the single biggest factor in deal success (01:00) The mistake that cost investors millions and how to avoid it (02:30) Breaking down market types: primary, secondary, tertiary, rural (07:00) Why tertiary markets are often the sweet spot (08:00) The five key market indicators Alex checks every time (14:00) How to calculate square foot per capita and when to dig deeper (17:00) The hidden risk of new supply most investors miss (18:00) Why renter-to-homeowner ratio is a powerful demand signal (21:00) Why you should chase markets, not deals if you want momentum (22:00) How the Storage Wins coaching program helps you find the right market

Who This Episode Is For:

  • Investors buying or about to buy their first storage facility
  • Operators who feel stuck with low occupancy and want better markets
  • Anyone tired of chasing good deals that turn into bad headaches
