Key points

In this episode, Ryan and Manasa talk about Self storage as an asset class and deep dive into the details about investing in self-storage

Ryan and his team found storage was an asset class that was truly recession-resistant and could stand the test of time. They didn't want to outsource anything, they wanted to have control of the entire pipeline of everything. To be able to find it, find it, finish it, operate it all the way through and self-storage was the asset class that fit that requirement

Crime stats don't have any influence on this asset class and the returns are very similar to multifamily

Before investing in a deal make sure the operator performed a demand study and that the business plan can be executed based on that demand and competitors study

He emphasizes the importance of having a great team to succeed

Financial freedom, to him, means being able to lose everything you have, right now, but being able to build it all back, because you possess the skills and the knowledge to do it again. So, the real freedom is in knowing you possess the skill, experience to build it all back

Although it's kind of cliche to say the best investment you can make is in yourself, it is indeed true.
