Think you need tons of cash or a perfect credit score to invest in storage? Think again. In this episode, I share the real stories—and real numbers—of how I bought my first two self-storage facilities using zero dollars out of my own pocket. And I'm not alone. One of my coaching clients, Casey, followed the same roadmap and closed on two storage deals within nine months—both with seller financing and no money down. I walk you through the exact steps I took to find the deals, fund them creatively, and build strong, cash-flowing assets without the headaches of tenants, toilets, and trash. Whether you're just starting out, feel stuck financially, or think this isn't possible for you, this episode is going to blow your mind and show you what's actually doable—even if you're brand new.   You'll Learn How To: Fund storage deals without using your own money Tap into seller financing, private lending, and SBA loans Identify and find mom-and-pop owned storage facilities with simple tools Build relationship capital that becomes your most valuable resource Scale without complexity using a proven, repeatable process What You'll Learn in This Episode: [2:55] How I transitioned from burnt-out wholesaler to storage investor [5:17] Why storage beats single-family for cashflow and simplicity [7:41] Forced appreciation: how to increase value without waiting on comps [12:20] The power of lien laws vs. long eviction battles in single-family [14:42] Case study #1: My first $0-down deal with $350K raised through relationships [17:05] Case study #2: Seller financing 90% and doubling cashflow potential [19:24] Case study #3: 100% funded by private lenders, sold for a $700K profit [21:51] How to use Google Maps and direct mail to find off-market, mom-and-pop storage deals [26:37] The $150K deal from a letter a seller held onto for 2 years [29:04] Casey's story: two facilities in nine months, both 100% seller financed Who This Episode Is For: Anyone who thinks they need cash or experience to get started Real estate investors looking for more time freedom and less stress Wholesalers and flippers tired of chasing deals every month Beginners ready to take action and buy their first facility Why You Should Listen: I've done it.

A theme that's dominated 2025 for me (and for many) has been price rises across many subscription-based platforms and services. My correspondence with companies has made clear that loyalty stands for very little. In fact, rather than being rewarded, longevity is increasingly exploited and monetised. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I share a year-in-review through the lens of price rises. The tipping point was an email from my podcast hosting company, Libsyn, announcing a 71 percent increase effective from January. It was the straw that broke this camel's back after a year of similar moves elsewhere. In the episode, I share exchanges with three companies that reveal how loyalty is no longer valued in itself, but engineered to extract profit from those of us who've become reliant on these platforms. https://youtu.be/qrmUSdGwcMs A Symptom of Enshittification Cory Doctorow describes the underlying trend as “Enshittification”, a form of platform decay visible in companies like Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple, and Adobe. It's not a glitch, but a feature. Doctorow traces a familiar arc: platforms start by serving users well in order to grow. Once established, they pivot toward business customers, monetisation, and scale. Eventually, when users and businesses are sufficiently locked in, services are degraded for everyone so maximum value can be pulled out as quickly as possible. Disproportionate price rises are one symptom of this process, particularly in how companies treat long-standing customers. Lock-in is maintained through network effects (it's hard to leave when everyone else is still there), non-transferable data (your work can't easily be exported), and digital restrictions where purchases only function inside a single ecosystem. Music, books, films, and software are “owned” only as long as the platform allows it. In the name of convenience, we give ourselves over to these systems and become dependent on them. As the digital and physical worlds converge, this logic extends beyond apps and websites into cars, home devices, utilities, and infrastructure. At that point, this stops being a simple matter of consumer choice. Extraction is baked into the products themselves. We are quietly acclimatising to this new normal. It has crept in through corporate consolidation, weak enforcement of anti-trust legislation, and business models that no longer need to meaningfully consider customer relationships once a certain scale is reached. Abusing Trust, Need, and Loyalty Charlie Brooker has cited Enshittification as an influence on Common People, the opening episode of Black Mirror series seven. A couple sign up to a subscription-based medical intervention that escalates in cost, complexity, and dependency. Features are removed. Adverts are inserted. The stakes become existential. One particularly chilling moment sees Mike literally mutilating his own body for money via an OnlyFans-style platform, a stark symbolic image of how value is extracted from people once dependency is established. Price Rises for a “Valued Customer” Libsyn informed me they were raising the price of hosting A Quiet Night Inside No 9 by 71 percent. The justification was a familiar list of added features and growth opportunities, none of which were relevant to how we use the service. We don't want adverts or growth tools. We want reliable hosting and delivery. This exchange highlighted how much podcasting has changed since I joined Libsyn in 2009. Hosting platforms have increasingly positioned themselves as intermediaries between advertisers and podcasters. That relationship now takes precedence. Advertising is framed as a benefit to creators, while enabling hosts to raise prices and skim revenue from both usage fees and ad sales. Listeners, meanwhile, absorb longer ad breaks as the new normal. Is this stage two of Enshittification in the podcasting world? Note, I pledge never to put adverts on my audio podcasts. YouTube is the only exception, because Google inserts them regardless. ConvertKit and Paying for Features I Don't Want A similar logic played out with Kit, formerly ConvertKit. I chose it in 2016 because it was simple and reliable and have been a loyal user ever since. A price increase from $49 to $59 a month was justified by new automations and tools I didn't ask for or use. There is no way to opt out and pay less. The only concession offered was annual billing, which I pointed out mirrors poverty-tax logic: those without upfront capital pay more. Symptoms of a Failing Service Vimeo was the clearest example of platform decay from the inside. Storage rules changed midstream. Long-held assumptions were invalidated. Downgrading meant losing access to years of work. Retention efforts amounted to one-off discounts rather than meaningful alternatives. What stood out wasn't hostility, but indifference. Once a service reaches a certain size, individual relationships no longer seem to matter. Their response felt so extreme that I suspected deeper problems, which seemed to be confirmed when Bending Spoons acquired Vimeo in November. I'm glad I left when I did, though it's still inconvenient clearing up broken links and legacy embeds after fifteen years of use. WishList Member and a Different Choice Not all companies operate this way. WishList Member has honoured the price and feature set I signed up for over a decade ago. While new tiers exist, functionality hasn't been removed to force upgrades. This appears to be a deliberate choice, and it communicates something simple: long-term trust and loyalty matters more than short-term extraction. I’ll let you know if this situation changes… Growth Logic and the Limits of Choice It's tempting to frame all this as a moral failure, but it's structural. Growth-at-all-costs logic makes price rises, feature bloat, and lock-in almost inevitable. These companies aren't malfunctioning; they're functioning exactly as the system encourages them to. This also makes it risky to romanticise alternatives. Newer companies may simply be at an earlier stage of the same cycle. Google once promised “don't be evil”. Facebook positioned itself as a less invasive alternative to MySpace. Scale changes incentives. Meaningful change won’t come from individual consumer choices alone. Competition has been hollowed out, and escape routes are increasingly narrow. Doctorow provides a section of existing and potential solutions that can give us reasons for active hope. Have you felt the pinch of price hikes this year? Feel free to get in touch and share your experiences.

The clean energy transition isn't just about swapping fossil fuels for renewables, it's about building a new energy system built for the future. In this episode, we speak with Tim Montague, solar developer, clean-tech advisor, and host of The Clean Power Hour. We'll discuss the realities of the energy transition, the current state of battery storage, the growing issue of solar panel end-of-life and recycling, and the environmental footprint of mining the critical minerals needed for EVs and batteries. The conversation also tackles how AI is reshaping energy demand and grid resilience, and what it will take to build a cleaner, smarter power system for generations ahead.

Daniel Kern calls Micron's (MU) earnings "really fantastic" and its forecast just as great. Sold out orders for 2026 points to what Daniel believes will serve as a significant year for the chipmaker. Olivier Blanchard agrees, making the case that A.I. may be a little "overshot," but the storage story isn't. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Matthew Bryson with Wedbush says Micron's (MU) earnings will be all about the guidance. He believes price increases in dRAM and demand for storage chips will open a wide runway for Micron's growth. The biggest uncertainty for Matthew lies in the data center outlook, as a demand pullback can hit Micron. Tom White offers an example options trade for the A.I. chipmaker ahead of the company's earnings. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

More than 90% of all liquid fuel in Oregon is stored along a 6 mile stretch of the Willamette River just north of downtown Portland known as the Critical Energy Infrastructure hub. Studies have shown that a major earthquake could cause the release of as much toxic liquid as the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, with oil reaching all the way to the mouth of the Columbia River. This fall, the city released a draft proposal to reduce the fuel stored at the site and require seismic upgrades. Eric Engstrom, director of the Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, joins us to explain the plan.

Solar, Storage, and Nuclear: The Next Clean Tech Wave Surging AI demand is creating volatility and speed-to-power challenges, while grid delays push onsite generation forward. Our Clean Tech Symposium highlighted a major shift in data center power strategies, with the percentage of facilities using onsite gas potentially doubling in the short term. But, its role as bridge vs. temporary depends on economics: transmission and distribution (T&D) spend >$100B annually and pricing trends closer to $6/MMBtu. Solar-plus-storage remains highly cost-competitive with battery prices down 40-50%, reinforcing its position in future portfolios. Nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs) are progressing with faster timelines, though commercialization is years away and cost certainty remains low. Power availability is now shaping data center site selection, where Dimple sees solar + storage and nuclear as complementary long-term solutions.    You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

“It's a given” that the Fed will cut this week, says Jay Pelosky, but thinks the bond market is beginning to signal concerns about Fed independence. Because of the global AI race, Jay thinks opportunities are in countries that recognize the changing environment and are focusing on electricity. He thinks long-duration bonds are unattractive, while commodities present opportunities. Jay also discusses China's economic strategy and argues they are “sewing up the future growth areas of the world.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
