We’re covering all of your first steps—everything from setting up your property management software and transferring crucial tenant information to putting utilities in your name and much more. These details are easy to overlook if you’re not careful, and the consequences can be severe. Consider this your cheat sheet for taking the reins and getting your facility firing on all cylinders!

| 8/25/26 | 363. How to Find “Hidden” Self Storage Deals in 2026 (Our 3-Part Playbook) | For months, we’ve been saying the same thing: The self storage industry has finally turned a corner. We’re now in a buyer’s market, and we’re seeing some of the best self storage deals in years. But if that’s the case, where are these deals? We’re answering this exact question on today’s episode. Of course, you can find self storage facilities the “normal” way—by building your buy box and giving it to your broker to pull properties already listed for sale. But some of the deepest discounts and greatest wealth creation opportunities come from buying off-market, mom-and-pop facilities with huge value-add potential. And today, we’re providing a three-part strategy anyone can use to find them, even if you’re brand new to self storage investing. We’ll even share a few case studies of real self storage investors who have been able to create several hundred thousand dollars in value by using these exact tactics. Whether you’re on the hunt for your first self storage facility or looking to grow your portfolio, these time-tested strategies will help you do just that! What you’ll learn in today’s show: Our three-part strategy for finding off-market deals in 2026 Case studies from self storage investors who bought off-market properties Creative ways to find mom-and-pop, value-add self storage opportunities How to develop your own self storage network from scratch How to foster the right mindset for finding self storage deals __________ Join our group, the Self Storage Income Community to learn how to buy, build, and scale your self storage portfolio.

| 8/18/26 | 362. 3 Steps to Get Your First Self Storage Facility This Year | By the end of this episode, you’ll have everything you need to buy storage facilities—not just any facility, but the facility that is best for you. This is the exact pre-acquisition checklist Conner uses to get prepped to buy self storage investments. Not only can it help speed up your timeline to your first storage facility exponentially, but it will also make buying every facility after that even easier. If you wonder how Conner and AJ invest at scale and can move on deals so quickly, this is how it’s done. We’ll walk you through everything you need, from finding lenders and insurance to getting your buy box set up and connecting to brokers who will send you deals, and finally making offers on facilities that fit your exact criteria. This is everything you need to go from zero self storage investments to your first one under contract, and by next week, you could have deals filling up your inbox if you follow Conner’s checklist. What you’ll learn in today’s show: The three things you need to find, offer on, and buy your first self storage investment It is not too early to talk to a lender and why you should be calling them before the deal hits your inbox The exact buy box you can send to brokers that will get them to send the right deals to you Submitting LOIs (letters of intent) and PSAs (purchase and sale agreements) before closing How to get on mom-and-pop owners’ good side so they offer you the chance to buy first — Grab AJ’s Book, Growing Wealth in Self-Storage 2.0 : https://www.amazon.com/Growing-Wealth-Self-Storage-2-0-Post-Pandemic/dp/1735258865 Work with someone experienced in self storage loans at Live Oak Bank! https://www.liveoakbank.com/business-loans/self-storage/ Check out this episode next: The Last Time Self Storage Did This, We Made Millions (You Have 2 Years) - https://www.selfstorageincome.com/podcasts/self-storage-income-2/episodes/2149240630 Join the Self Storage Income Community to learn how to buy, build, and scale your self storage portfolio: https://www.selfstorageincome.com/learn-yt?el=yt-episode-362 | 43m 44s | ||||||
| 8/11/26 | 361. The Last Time Self Storage Did This, We Made Millions (You Have 2 Years) | Small self storage investors, you’ve got just two years to take advantage of one of the greatest wealth creation opportunities we’ll likely ever see. We’ve officially reached the midway point of 2026, and things look a little different than most were predicting only 12 months ago. But one thing has happened as expected: self storage is approaching equilibrium again, and we’ve entered an exciting phase in the market cycle. With interest rates unlikely to fall, sellers are finally accepting reality and are coming to the table with deals. And we’ve seen this shift play out firsthand in our own business. We’ve bought more self storage facilities in the last six months than we did in the last three years combined. The market has absorbed new supply, deals are available at better prices, and more sellers are motivated to move their assets. Meanwhile, the REITs are making moves that give us a clear picture of what we can expect over the next few years. The question is no longer what’s going to happen, but who will take advantage before the market shifts again. What you’ll learn in today’s show: An update on the current state of the self storage industry Why operators are more motivated to sell today than they have been in years The two-year window for buying undervalued self storage deals What small investors should do now before new supply comes online What the REITs are telling us about where self storage is headed — Grab AJ’s Book, Growing Wealth in Self-Storage 2.0 : https://www.amazon.com/Growing-Wealth-Self-Storage-2-0-Post-Pandemic/dp/1735258865 Join the Self Storage Income Community: https://www.selfstorageincome.com/learn?el=pc-ep361 | 46m 13s | ||||||
| 8/4/26 | 360. Self Storage Just Entered a New Era: What Small Operators Need to Know | Self storage just entered a new era. The industry isn’t shifting. The shift has already happened. Within eight days, we saw multiple instances of operator and data infrastructure consolidation. On the surface, these might look like normal acquisitions, but they signal seismic changes within the self storage industry that small operators can’t afford to ignore. The top 100 operators already control over half of the nation’s rentable storage space, and the top five alone control a whopping 35%. That number is growing. This is eerily similar to what we saw when online marketing came on the scene. The REITs and big players adopted search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising long before anyone else. Now, they’re on the move again. In self storage investing, data is king. Thankfully, access has been brought down to the level of mom-and-pop operators in recent years. But those who overlook what’s going on are at risk of losing their competitive advantage in the marketplace. I’m breaking down exactly what small self storage investors need to do to adapt and why the entire industry is in dire straits if they don’t. What you’ll learn in today’s show: Two crucial areas where the self storage industry has consolidated What self storage investors need to know amid a major industry shift Major transactions from the last few weeks and their impact on small operators The parallels between self storage data and online marketing How mom-and-pop operators can harness AI within their self storage business __________ Grab AJ’s Book, _Growing Wealth in Self-Storage 2.0_ : https://www.amazon.com/Growing-Wealth-Self-Storage-2-0-Post-Pandemic/dp/1735258865 NowMetrics: https://nowmetrics.co/ Storelocal: https://www.storelocal.com/ TractIQ: https://tractiq.com/ | 25m 22s | ||||||
| 7/28/26 | 359. The Small Self Storage Owner’s AI Guide (Prompts, Examples, Tools) | Everyone keeps talking about AI. But how do you, a small self storage owner with one, two, or a handful of self storage investments, actually use it to grow your revenue, reduce your vacancy, keep customers for longer, and pick up a fraction of the phone calls? Today, we’re showing you how. Alec Peeples from Storeganise is sharing the beginner-friendly AI “buckets” storage investors can use to easily (and surprisingly cheaply) automate their facilities and make more revenue with way less work. He’ll share the beginner framework that those brand new to AI can try, the “trends” you can discover that generate more income for your facility, and even the exact prompts he uses to find blind spots in storage businesses. These are high-level, highly usable ways for small self storage owners to get the equivalent of a six-figure salaried C-suite employee for less than a couple dozen bucks per month. If you could access that today, why wouldn’t you? What you’ll learn in today’s show: The exact prompts Alec uses to discover the revenue gaps at self storage facilities How to start training your AI to think like a six-figure COO for your storage business The three “buckets” of AI use in self storage and the one that is the most valuable for you How to get AI to handle customer service without having your calls feel like AI Why small investors stand to benefit most from this massive change in the market — Grab AJ’s Book, Growing Wealth in Self-Storage 2.0 - https://www.amazon.com/Growing-Wealth-Self-Storage-2-0-Post-Pandemic/dp/1735258865 Check out Storeganise, the free AI toolkit built for self-storage operators; a library of prompts, skills, and automations you can use with any software: https://ai-lab.storeganise.com Connect with Alec on LinkedIn! - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alec-peeples/ | 53m 03s | ||||||
