452. Low Maintenance & High Returns: The Self Storage Playbook with Travis Baucom

How can self-storage provide better returns and fewer headaches than other real estate investments?   Travis Baucom, a real estate investor and self-storage operator, shares how he transitioned out of single-family rentals into self-storage after struggles with high maintenance costs and low returns. He explains why self-storage is attractive, from low overhead to expansion potential, and his strategy for buying existing facilities and optimizing operations.   Travis Baucom is the founder and CEO of Balcomie Capital, a boutique firm for high-net-worth and high-income individuals. With over 10 years of experience in real estate investing, Travis has consistently achieved average above-market returns. He selects all key investment markets and asset classes for BC to meet the goals of his investors. As CEO, he leads the company's overall investment strategy, asset acquisitions, and business development activities with its mission to deliver fully managed private investments that allow investors to pursue what matters most to them.     [00:00 - 03:00] Getting Started in Real Estate and Pivoting to Self Storage Travis started with over 400 single-family rentals but maintenance headaches and low returns led him to sell and switch to self-storage. The low maintenance for the metal and concrete facilities compared to tenant damage in houses. Strong cash-on-cash returns compared to multifamily and other assets.   [07:00 - 10:00] Self Storage Investment Strategy Why Travis focuses on buying existing Class B/C facilities from mom-and-pop owners more focused on occupancy than revenue? Transitioning those facilities to remote management and optimizing rents based on local market rates.   [10:00 - 15:00] Facility Location and Expansion Plans Why Travis likes facilities in decent-sized metro areas with population growth. Expanding his Oklahoma City facility, a long-term asset. Also expanding other Texas facilities.   Investor Reception and Self Storage Pitfalls [15:00 - 20:00] Investors in his deals are happy with the hands-off aspect and distributions. The main pitfall is overdevelopment, exiting a property where a competitor added too much supply.   Key Quotes:   "I honestly believe people cause chaos, by eliminating those things that we can't control, which you can't control chaos for the most part, we end up being able to project our yield a lot better" - Travis Baucom   "Storage has a 40-year track record of having a very low default rate. We've gone through three recessions and the default rate never got above 1.6 percent in all three of those." - Travis Baucom   Connect with Travis: Website: www.investinstoragedeals.com Instagram LinkedIn     WANT TO LEARN MORE?   Connect with me through LinkedIn.   Or send me an email at sujata@luxe-cap.com   Visit my website, www.luxe-cap.com, or my YouTube channel.   Thanks for tuning in!   If you liked my show, LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, and subscribe!

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast!    We recently did a podcast titled - 'The Deals Are Coming Back'... if you haven't listened to that episode, you should. It complements this episode we have lined up for you today.    The self storage and real estate market as a whole is shifting. But before you lose your mind thinking things are going to "crash" (I don't believe they are), hear me out - there's going to be more buying opportunity in the next couple of years in self storage than there possibly ever has been. This is super exciting. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows.    Yes there are, and will continue to be incredible self storage investing opportunities - however, this does not come without risk. That's why today I wanted to share with you all the incredible self storage investing opportunities that I see coming down the line. And of course, I want to share with you all the risks and pitfalls that I'm looking at and paying attention to as well. The reality is - no one knows exactly what is going to happen and as Jocko Willink would say, "The enemy always gets a vote.", Meaning there will always be risks to mitigate and manage.    Outside of this, we talk about the ebbs and flows of the overall economy and the markets and what I'm doing to plan for the long term. Self Storage Investing isn't slowing down any time soon and neither am I!

Software is one of the things that the Self Storage industry desperately needs. From automating simple operations like entry gates to helping address customer issues in a quick, efficient, and contactless way. I know, "AI" and "Machine Learning" and the like are basically buzzwords at this point. But actually applying them in a meaningful way that makes a difference in your business is what really matters.    Today we are discussing the possibilities with AI and system automations with co-founders Mason Levy and Rodolfo Ramirez from Swivl.ai. They integrate technologies similar to Siri and Alexa with websites and point-of-contact systems within Self Storage.    What can a software program like this do for you? It can help keep track of inventory, customer service, gate code assistance, bill pay, and much more. The goal is to improve efficiency and time spent by both customers and employees. You are able to serve customers quicker with less repetition and downtime. You can reallocate your employee's time to really maximize that efficiency in a variety of different areas.     The Self Storage Income Podcast is Sponsored by: Forge Building Company - https://forgebuildings.com/podcast Janus International - https://www.janusintl.com/ Live Oak Bank - liveoakbank.com/incomepodcast Tenant Inc. - https://www.tenantinc.com/   You can find out more about the Swivl AI at https://tryswivl.com    Thanks everybody, AJ WE'RE HIRING - if you think you'd be a great fit for the Cedar Creek Team, contact me here: https://www.selfstorageincome.com/contact Success doesn't happen on an island, which is why I've launched the CRE Circle.

As you could imagine, I get a ton of questions about all things self storage investing (just look at the comments section on my YouTube channel lol), but one question I get a ton is how much money do I need to invest in self storage? And how do I get money to invest in self storage?    Like so many others, most of us just don't have an extra million dollars or several million dollars just sitting around waiting to be invested. And you clearly can't invest without capital. I'm going to let you in on a little secret - NO ONE has enough money on their own to invest and grow a company as quickly and effectively as those raising capital. You simply cannot scale quickly enough on your own.    Why do you think these large private equity companies do capital raises? Why do you think companies go public?    But raising money or bringing in partners isn't the only way to close great self storage deals. You can also seller finance.    The fact is, you can invest in self storage without a dollar of your own money. Quit focusing on the sale price and the money - focus on finding a great deal and then build the deal with partners, with conventional financing, or through creative financing such as seller financing.    We take a deep dive in today's episode to talk all things financing to help get you off on the right track to building your own amazing self storage deal.    Thanks everybody, AJ WE'RE HIRING - if you think you'd be a great fit for the Cedar Creek Team, contact me here: https://www.selfstorageincome.com/contact Invest with Cedar Creek: https://cedarcreekwealth.investnext.com/portal/capital_raise/358/ Success doesn't happen on an island, which is why I've launched the CRE Circle.

Welcome back everyone to the Self Storage Income Podcast where we talk all things self storage investing! This is your host, AJ Osborne!    It's been a crazy moment the past few years for the self storage industry. Valuations were through the roof, there was crazy stupid money being thrown every which way into deals that would never pencil in reality, billions have been invested into the industry by major institutions, the list goes on and on. However, this is all about to change, and it's already happening.    Deals are falling out of contract, capital is beginning to retreat slightly, values are on their way to returning to some kind of normalcy again, and competition in acquisition is declining, all great things for the self storage industry. But what does this mean for you as a self storage investor?    This means - you better be ready for all the great deals coming down the pipeline. You better have your team and your resources ready to find, secure, and close on self storage deals. You'll find in the coming months that deals will be easier and easier to come across and sellers will be much more willing to work with you.    We cover all these aspects in todays podcast and share some ways that you too can prepare and ready yourself to be able to capitalize on the amazing opportunity that's right around the corner (not to say there isn't great opportunity right now).    Tune in, take note, and get ready to invest in some self storage deals!  Thanks everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! This is your host AJ Osborne!    We've got a special guest episode lined up for you all today that I couldn't be more happy to share with you. Give a huge welcome to the self storage boss herself, Tiffannee Boss.    Tiffannee started off in the real estate investment journey like a lot of us. She was reading the real estate books and listening to real estate podcasts, and figured she would start off investing in multi-family. This suddenly changed one day when she heard yours truly on the Bigger Pockets podcast talking about the incredible opportunity of self storage investing.    From that day on, she's been laser focused on self storage and she's been absolutely crushing it. She's invested passively, partnered with others on deals, and recently took down a deal solo.    That said, she is an absolute wealth of knowledge for any of you who are just getting started on your self storage investing journey, and this is a podcast you won't want to miss.    She shares her entire story from start to finish - how she's built key relationships with lenders, owners, and partners, how she found her first deal, and the keys to success that she's used to build her investing momentum. These are the same keys we use in my business even today, and these are the same tools that you too can use to build your self storage portfolio.    Keep in touch with Tiffannee:  Email: tiffboss13@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_storage_boss/?hl=en Thanks everybody,  AJ Invest with Cedar Creek: https://cedarcreekwealth.investnext.com/portal/capital_raise/358/ Success doesn't happen on an island, which is why I've launched the CRE Circle.

Whether you're looking to be a passive investor, or an active, hands on investor, self storage can provide some incredible returns. Today, I wanted to share with you just how great self storage investing can be. And to accomplish this, I wanted to share some numbers with you from a real and recent deal I did.    I'm going to walk you through this deal, where the value add opportunity was, and how I was able to execute on it - creating $3.2 Million in value in just 4 months. And this is just the tip of the iceberg regarding the added value at this facility. This is just bare bones, up and to this point, not even fully stabilized.    All in all, I wanted to share a real deal with you guys. I wanted to give you a peak at the deals that are still out there today and the kind of wealth generating potential that they can hold. All we have to do is take action and pull the right levers.    Listen in, get excited about this deal, and get ready to go kick up your own great self storage investment.  Thanks!

Welcome to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I'm your host, AJ Osborne!    That's right… you have me, one of the biggest self storage investing cheerleaders talking about a self storage crash… Does this mean that I'm selling all my storage facilities? Ceasing operations? Shutting it all down?    Not even close.    In fact, my team and I are going harder than ever finding and making great deals. So why all this discussion and attention to a potential self storage crash? Because a crash is a very real potential currently, and the self storage industry is just not in the position it was before the Great Recession in 2008. All said and done, if you haven't been investing well, and you're banking on self storage to perform the same in the event of another recession, you're in for a huge and potentially painful surprise.    Ok, but why? Why would self storage perform differently now than it has in the past during market corrections?    Well, I shot out a series of posts on Twitter that outlines and explains this whole thing in extreme detail. Needless to say, it got a TON of views and got a lot of people talking.    That said, I had to do a podcast to go even more in depth as to what I'm seeing and what we should absolutely be planning for as self storage investors.   We will be going over a lot of data in this podcast, so we decided to make this one into a special video episode on our YouTube channel! You won't miss anything just tuning in as usual, but if you are a more visual person, you'll want to check it out! Video version: https://youtu.be/Sm0pZsLkxoo   Enjoy, take note, and ensure you're investing in only the best self storage deals.  Thanks everybody, AJ Invest with Cedar Creek: https://cedarcreekwealth.investnext.com/portal/capital_raise/358/ Success doesn't happen on an island, which is why I've launched the CRE Circle.

I have yet another incredible guest lined up for you on the podcast today - we have self storage investor and entrepreneur Chris Ramsey. Hailing from the moving business, Chris and his family weren't too far off the mark when it came to looking at self storage. Chris actually developed a software for moving companies that also helped gather data about those individuals moving and their needs throughout that process. As you might imagine, this gave great insight for Chris in identifying the majority of people's obvious need for self storage. We cover a variety of topics on today's podcast but to share a few - we discuss the importance of identifying product market fit and supplying a market with the self storage product that is actually in high demand. We also talk about the king of good self storage markets - DEMAND. Outside of this, we discuss some industry changes, what we're seeing and experiencing in self storage, and more.

This doesn't mean though that self storage is without its thorns or pitfalls. Don't buy into the hype - there are very real risks of investing actively or passively in self storage. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who have built businesses around this idea that self storage can't fail. Not only does this expose them and their business to massive amounts of unnecessary risk, it exposes their investors. So what gives?

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I'm your host AJ Osborne!    Just a heads up - if you plan on raising capital to fund deals… you NEED to listen to this episode.    We hear it a lot in real estate investing - “you don't need your own money to get into real estate invest!”, or “get into real estate investing with low or no money!” So of course this means securing capital to do deals from another source - this means using other people's money, or OPM.    Seems pretty straight forward… you have a deal, know the numbers, and know how much capital you need to secure to execute, and now you just need to secure that capital from others. Now enter the U.S. Government and regulation… (that escalated quickly!).    This isn't some big scary warning meant to discourage you from using OPM or raising capital, but it is a statement - as with anything, you need to know what you're doing to ensure you do things right. Which is why we have an incredible guest on the podcast today my friend and attorney Bethany LaFlam.    Bethany brings with her today over 20 years of experience in law centered around real estate syndication and funds. If you plan on raising money to fund your deals this is the episode you won't want to miss. We talk everything from the various structures in which you can form a deal and raise money, to the importance between these structures, what you can and can't do within those structures, and more.     If you'd like to connect with Bethany and her team with Premier Law Group, you can do so here: https://www.premierlawgroup.net/   Thanks everybody!  AJ   Invest with Cedar Creek: https://cedarcreekwealth.investnext.com/portal/capital_raise/358/   Success doesn't happen on an island, which is why I've launched the CRE Circle.

And find a mentor he did - Hayden linked up with a successful investor and worked for them for free just for the opportunity to learn and surround himself with the right people. Soon after that, he started working for equity in the deals that they were making.    Since then, Hayden has experienced numerous real estate investment successes (and some set-backs of course), and is now putting a huge emphasis on self storage investing.    We're going to talk about how he found his first deal, the lessons he learned, the mistakes he made, and why he's decided that self storage is the place to be all in. We then of course jump into the awesome piece of tech that he's working on - My Property Stats. I'm not going to dive into it here, but My Property Stats is probably one of THE most needed tools in the real estate investment industry.

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! AJ Osborne here your host of this awesome podcast that's become the largest podcast in the world on self storage, and no, I'm not shy to say that, it's absolutely incredible! As you might know, so much of successful real estate investing, or even entrepreneurship comes down to effectively applying some kind of value add strategy. You're purchasing something at a certain price, then improving the value through controllable levers, and selling it for more than what you bought it for. One of the most impactful value add strategies in self storage investing is something called Dynamic Pricing. Imagine being able to constantly increase your cashflow on your assets and the ability to extract the utmost value from them. This is the power of dynamic pricing. What is dynamic pricing? How do you use and deploy this strategy? Well you're about to find out. This is a fantastic episode where we dive deep into this subject and share with you how me and my team have been able to almost immediately generate millions of equity and cashflow from assets that were undervalued and underperforming.

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! This is your host AJ Osborne! Holy cow, do I have an awesome episode lined up for you guys today! I had the pleasure to have my great friend Paul Moore on the podcast today who is an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to self storage and all things commercial real estate. This also isn't the first time we've had Paul on the podcast to share the value, he's been on once before, you'll absolutely want to go and listen to that first episode with Paul as well. Paul got his start in multi-family and residential real estate investing. After identifying that commercial real estate was where the real money was made, he decided to make the leap. Fast forward to today and he's driving a ship called Wellings Capital and just got done raising capital to acquire hundreds more commercial properties - self storage facilities included. We talk all things self storage, how it stacks up and compares against multi-family, storage investment risks, and why self storage continues to be one of the best commercial real estate asset classes to be investing in. Paul also shares some exciting news - his brand new book ‘Storing Up Profits' just dropped and its an incredible book on self storage investing that you have to check out. Check out the link and pick up a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Storing-Profits-Capitalize-Obsession-Self-Storage/dp/1947200488/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1643823951&sr=8-1 Also be sure to keep up with Paul and all the great work him and his team are doing on their website at: https://www.wellingscapital.com/ Thanks everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! This is your host AJ Osborne! There's something I hear quite a bit and I heard it more when I first started doing all this content and sharing my self storage investing “secrets” with the world. You guys and even friends have asked me, “AJ, why are you sharing all this information with everyone?” Or “Why are you doing all this work on content?” Well let me break it down for you. The truth is - me sharing this information doesn't hurt me, doesn't hurt the self storage industry, and it certainly doesn't hurt those looking to learn more about self storage investing. Yes you could try and make the argument that I'm creating more competition… you could TRY, but you'd be wrong. Sharing this information actually accompmlishes the complete opposite - it helps me, it helps the industry, and of course, it helps you. And it DOESN'T create more competition. Just think about this - because of these podcasts, videos, live events and so on that I've created and hosted, how many deals have been done? How many friends have been made? How many legacies have been started? How much freedom has someone been able to inject into their lives? It's not even calculable, but just from the stories I've heard and even know about… the impact has been massive and it's been staggering. In today's podcast I'm going to dive into all of this. I'm going to share why it's been so important for me to build these brands, this content, and this legacy. I'm going to share what we do, how we do it, and why fundamentals are great but learning the actionable steps to those fundamentals is SO much better. We're going to talk frameworks, building business, and sharing that journey with the world. This is one for the note books so get ready, take notes and soak up some value. Thanks everybody.

Welcome back everyone to the Self Storage Income Podcast! AJ Osborne here, your host of the most epic and the largest self storage podcast in the world. Thanks so much for tuning in! In relation to the returns most of us are used to seeing… you might think “1,314%” is some kind of typo. Cool thing is, it's not. This is what my firm and I have been able to achieve. No this didn't happen over night, and no, we didn't know exactly what we were doing or exactly how we were going to do it from day one. To be honest, this is the first time we've even looked at these numbers in this way across our portfolio. Currently, it's only been in the past year and half that my team and I have been securing capital from accredited investors. Before this, we've only ever used our own cash to buy storage facilities. As you can imagine, raising capital from investors has a bit of a learning curve, but it's been a great and necessary step to grow our company and allow others to join in on these amazing returns we've been able to yield. So how have we been able to yield these kinds of returns through self storage investing? Well if you've been around for any length of time, you know that our self storage investing strategy is the value add strategy - we identify opportunity through upside and capatilize on it. Whether that's a poorly run facility with great management and physical upside, or conversions and developments in growing markets. I'm going to talk a bit about this strategy today in addition to this new and awesome journey we're on working with investors to tackle self storage deals all across the United States. And just a heads up - if you want to build empires, you'll want to take notes on this one. Thanks everybody!

Welcome back everyone to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I'm your host AJ Osborne! That's right, you read that title correctly. Me, the biggest self storage investing cheerleader talking about the potential ends of self storage and the very real risks that exist in self storage investing. Now why would I do this? Here's the deal - when all you have is people praising a particular asset or investment, and people NOT talking about the risks (and even down playing or refusing to acknowledge the asset or investment even HAS risk)... we have a big problem that needs to be addressed. Self storage investing is in my opinion, is one of the best (if not the best) commercial real estate investment opportunities that exists. However, this does not mean that self storage investing 100% fool proof, or even that the amazing opportunity of self storage investing will remain the same (which it certainly won't). We're in an amazing time for the self storage industry. Again, the opportunity is massive. But we have to remain ever vigilant. We cannot buy into hype and fail to look at, acknowledge, and plan for the risks associated with ANY investment. So today, that's exactly what I'm going to be talking about. Thanks everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the largest (and the best) Self Storage Podcast in the world - Self Storage Income! I'm your host AJ Osborne, and we have an awesome guest episode lined up for you all today. All too often we hear about the “safe” and “secure” 9-5 career. Get that awesome job with the great benefits, retirement plans, and pension if you can find one. What we don't hear a lot about is the failure of systems like 401K's, pensions, and the like, not to mention the false sense of “security” that a 9-5 often provides. Don't get me wrong here, whatever career path you choose, own it and be the best in it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with pursuing any kind of a career, if that's what you truly want to accomplish for your life. However, don't buy into the idea that whatever systems are supporting that career, those benefits, the retirement, or the pensions will be around forever. Or that they're 100% guaranteed… because they're not. Our guest today is Ian Horowitz, a former firefighter turned real estate and self storage investor. Ian shares with us today exactly why he chose to get into real estate and self storage investing, he shares his first deal, how they found it, funded it, and what their plans are for the future.

Welcome back everyone to the Self Storage Income Podcast! This is your host AJ Osborne! Whether it's self storage or another real estate asset class, we always hear the importance of being able to get a potential investment property “under contract”. But what exactly does this mean, what exactly do you need, and how exactly do you get this done? These are all great questions and questions that you need answers to as an investor. The last thing you want is to have an amazing self storage investing opportunity come your way, but then not have the tools and resources ready to go to actually execute on that great deal. So then, what do we need? Enter your Letter of Intent. The letter of intent or what is commonly referred to as an LOI, is the document that you're going to need to actually get a storage facility (or any investment property) “under contract”. There may be times when you go straight to a Purchase and Sale Agreement (or PSA) without doing an LOI first, but generally speaking, that LOI is going to be the first rough run-down of the terms you're setting for yourself and the seller. To cover this topic in depth, we're bringing on our very own, Brian Mullally, Head of Acquisitions for our firm Cedar Creek. Brian brings a ton of knowledge and experience and has the answers to many of the questions you're asking about the LOI, and the process as a whole of getting a storage facility under contract to purchase. Get ready to take notes, soak up all the value here, and be able to go out and secure your storage facilities like a pro. Thanks everybody!

Hey everybody! Welcome back to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I'm your host AJ Osborne! We have an awesome guest lined up for you on the podcast today who I know you're really going to enjoy. Chris Lawrence is our guest today and just weeks ago, he closed on his very first storage facility. Which means, we get to hear all the details on how he found, funded, and ultimately acquired and is now running this newly purchased storage facility. And to think, just 6 months ago, Chris was just starting to look at self storage investing and began to learn about the asset class… too cool. Chris came into the commercial real estate world after being a successful residential real estate investor. The cash running his residential business was great, but didn't offer him or his family the life they wanted to live. Now, just one storage facility in, he's obtained that lifestyle and has plans to continue growing his self storage portfolio. I absolutely love stories like this. It reminds me of ME when I first started the journey of self storage investing. I get reminded how incredibly exciting and nerve racking it was on that very first deal and even the second and third. Now the nerves are at bay, but man I still get super excited when I close on a facility. It's an awesome accomplishment, a great step toward creating wealth and financial freedom.

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! I'm your host AJ Osborne! That's right… today we're talking about the end of self storage… or what could be the end. This all boils down to the very real threats that face the industry. What are those threats and how do we manage them to help ensure the health of great self storage markets for years to come? Because trust me, we can't fall victim to believing all the hype around self storage. Self storage is NOT recession proof. Self storage is NOT a ‘build it and they will come' asset. Self storage has weaknesses and faces very real threats and that is never going to change. We also have to understand that there are very different threats and risks at play. I like to separate these risks into two categories - Macro (what I can't control), and Micro (What I can control). In today's episode I go through the various macro and micro risks associated with self storage. I also share what I believe to be one of the largest single threats to the self storage industry. Outside of that we talk all kinds of juicy details to help you understand in depth the risks of self storage and an overall industry big big picture that you should be looking at when considering self storage investing or if you're adding to your self storage portfolio.
