On this week's episode of Uncontested Investing, we unpack one of the most recession-resistant, overlooked niches in the game: self-storage investing. It may not sound sexy, but storage units are delivering strong, stable cash flow with low risk, minimal management headaches, and surprisingly scalable upside. We break down how smart investors are leveraging storage to diversify their portfolios, reduce liability, automate operations, and add value through tech, partnerships, and even RV/boat parking. If you're looking for an asset that's pandemic-proven, economically resilient, and built for automation, this episode lays out the full playbook. Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:00 Introduction 01:11 Why self-storage is an important asset class 02:30 Space is at a premium even in small living units and tiny homes 03:53 No toilets, no tenants, low maintenance = high margin 06:05 Built-in tech: smart locks, remote gate access, cameras, mobile pay 07:09 The flexibility and accessibility in self-storage 08:50 Using virtual assistance to build local partnerships 11:04 Value-add strategies: paving lots, updating tech, U-Haul affiliate income 12:48 Co-sign with trusted names (like U-Haul) 14:11 Monetizing self-storage space for RVs, boats, trailers 15:52 Market versatility: how it works in rural, suburban, and urban areas 17:30 Having your VA cold calling for occupancy Quotables “Storage is one of the only asset classes that's recession-resistant, pandemic-proven, and still scaling.” “No tenants, no toilets, and no trash—it's the dream trifecta for passive investors.” “If you own a rental portfolio, you're already halfway there. Cross-sell storage to your tenants and watch your cash flow grow.” Links RCN Capital https://www.rcncapital.com/podcast https://www.instagram.com/rcn_capital/ info@rcncapital.com REI INK https://rei-ink.com/

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast! In this episode, host Joe Jensen interviews Jesse Ray, a driven entrepreneur who boldly transitioned from the corporate grind to real estate freedom. Jesse opens up about his path from climbing the ranks in corporate sales to realizing he was unfulfilled—and how that revelation pushed him to pursue a more intentional life.

From his global travels to the hustle of door-knocking for deals, Jesse's journey is filled with actionable lessons and hard-earned wisdom.

Welcome back, friends! This week, we dive deep into the fundamentals of Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and why they matter for real estate investors. Whether you're just starting out or scaling your portfolio, understanding how to properly use an LLC is key to protecting your assets and building a strong foundation.We're debunking common myths—like the belief that forming an LLC automatically makes you a business owner or offers bulletproof protection—and explaining why careless mistakes can still leave you personally liable. One key topic we cover in this episode is "piercing the corporate veil," where mismanagement (like co-mingling funds or using incorrect signatures) can strip away an LLC's legal protections.Lastly, we also share real-life lessons from transaction missteps and offer actionable tips: keep business and personal finances separate, use proper documentation, counter-sign leases, and file biennial reports to stay compliant. Walk with us as we even break down structuring strategies, like separating active and passive income and considering an S-Corp or series LLC, depending on your goals and state laws.Want the deets on our 1:1 consulting program—designed to empower women to confidently transition into full-time real estate investing?

What separates those who just dabble in real estate from those who build real freedom? After a decade in the business, coaching thousands of students, and scaling my own portfolio—I can tell you this: success isn't about talent. It's about traits. In today's solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the 9 traits that our most successful associates, apprentices, and real estate partners demonstrate every day. These traits aren't flashy. They're foundational. And they'll change the way you operate if you commit to them. Whether you're brand new or scaling your real estate business, this episode will help you self-audit your habits, refocus your energy, and get real about what it takes to win.
