Mark Helm is the owner of Q-2 Self-Storage in Louisville, Ky., author of Creating Wealth Through Self-Storage and creator of Storage World Analyzer, a financial-analysis software program. He is also creator of Quick Start Academy, which provides online training for small investors who want to break into the self-storage business or strategically grow an existing operation. Mark started working with REITS (publicly traded companies who own real estate) in the mid 1990’s to help them locate and purchase self storage properties.
In this episode, Tyler and Mark’s discussion primarily focused on Mark’s strategies and insights of the self-storage asset class. They discussed the two best tactics for real estate investors to get into the self-storage business, Mark’s business model of buying mom-and-pop facilities, why self-storage is so recession-resistant, why demand has increased during the pandemic, and the five KPIs that Mark’s business tracks.
They also talked about how mindset makes difference between success and failure, focusing on possessing a positive belief system, taking action into the unknown, the power of meditation, working on yourself before your business and more!
