Article-ISS Store Featured Product: New Book on Self-Storage Investing, Real Estate and Wealth

The self-storage industry has proven to be resilient in economic downturns, causing greater competition and scrutiny across the real estate landscape. To succeed, investors and developers must have a keen eye and disciplined approach. Now, you can get first-hand guidance from the co-founder and owner of Bitterroot Holdings/Keylock Storage. In his new book, “The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage: The Step-By-Step Playbook for Turning a Real Estate Asset Into a Thriving Self Storage Business,” AJ Osborne teaches readers how to identify investment opportunities, allocate capital, and leverage management expertise to turn a mom-and-pop real estate asset into an income-producing venture.

Contents include:

  • Why self-storage is an attractive investment
  • How to get started in the industry
  • Understanding valuation and finding deals
  • Financing your facility
  • Evaluating competition and the deal
  • Turning around an underperforming asset
  • And more!

Osborne co-founded his operation in 2012, building it into a $100 million portfolio with 12 properties across the Northwest. Though he specializes in turning around underperforming properties, he’s also developed self-storage from the ground up, expanded existing facilities and converted other property types into storage.

Published by JamesBrennae Publishing, “The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage,” is available in softcover. Additional details are available at iss-store.com. Learn how to develop the knowledge and fortitude to make your next self-storage investment a strong success!
