About this episode

This episode explores the profitability of small-bay industrial real estate with insights from experienced investors Graham Story and Jesse Durham.

Is the "unsexy" side of real estate actually the most profitable? While most investors are getting burned in the "dumpster fire" of multifamily syndications or fighting over crowded RV parks and self-storage units, a quiet revolution is happening in small-bay industrial real estate . In this episode, we sit down with Graham Story and Jesse Durham , two North Carolina-based investors and brokers who have cracked the code on high-cash-flow industrial warehouses. From serving as an Army officer to navigating the world of CCIMs, Jesse and Graham share their "origin story" of moving from high-headache residential Airbnbs to the high-margin world of Triple Net (NNN) industrial leases.
