Customer testimonials

	"We have many investors come to us wanting to find a lender for their self-storage deals, only to find out that their "dream" deal is really a "nightmare" based on the way they've analyzed and structured it. I'm glad that someone has finally brought out the real, 100% pure information that everyone needs to find, negotiate and manage a deal correctly. It's certainly going to make my life easier.", ~Gerald Dimarco, Security Mortgage Group; (#1 self-storage loan broker in the U.S)

	Gentlemen, "Let me just start by saying well done. It's hard to gauge the amount of trepidation I had prior coming to San Francisco. My greatest fear is that the gathering would be typical, and thereby forgettable. You know the type; some carny burn-out pacing the stage and pontificating about what to do when your cheese gets moved...uugghh. However, I can say unequivocally, that this is the very best boot camp style gathering that I have ever attended. I actually gave this type of thing up some years ago because the information that can be gleaned from most of them is easily accessed via the internet. Nevertheless, as was the case with this self-storage event, there is no substitute for an intimate setting with those that have been there, done that, and continue to do so." Best Regards, Gregg

The commercial real estate industry is in one of its worst down cycles in decades. As a result, you can buy self-storage facilities for a fraction of what they sold for just a few years ago. Distressed sales are everywhere, from foreclosures and REO properties to over-extended moms & pops. It is not uncommon for properties that cost $5,000,000 to develop to sell for $1,000,000 in the right circumstances. This is the time that fortunes are made for people who have the ability to purchase, operate and hold onto these properties until the markets rebound. One interesting fact about self-storage is that many of the "improvements" that developers thought they were making on the business model have proven not to work in the real world, and the old mom & pop facilities from decades ago are on an equal footing - or even better footing - than newly built "fancy" properties. If you can find these older facilities in good locations, and buy them right, your success is nearly assured. And in many cases, the mom & pop owners will carry the financing for you, so you do not need to locate and obtain bank financing.
