167. Building & Developing A Self Storage Facility w/ Ryan Lorenzini (Part 1)
As you know, we’ve had some pretty incredible guests here on Self Storage Income, but I have to be honest here… I’m extra excited for our guest today. Meet my friend and fellow self storage investor Ryan Lorenzini. Ryan is also the Director of The Claremont Companies.
Ryan became familiar with property development initially through home building. Fast forward to today and The Claremont Companies develop and operate a number real estate asset classes including self storage. He’s an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to property development and market analysis when looking at the viability of a self storage project.
This being said, we of course talk a lot on the podcast today about self storage development. In fact, this episode is part 1 of 2 of this discussion. Stayed tuned for the second part, where we follow up on a lot of the ideas introduced in this one.
Self storage development questions easily rank in the top three questions I get consistently. So many people have land or even have a storage facility with expansion potential, or are even looking to go full fledged self storage developer. All said and done, the questions are the same - everyone wants to know whether to buy or to build, people want to know how much it costs to develop, and everyone wants concrete answers when it comes to potential development projects. We’ll today, we touch on every single one of these talking points and Ryan shares his years of experience and insight to help add clarity to the ever complex process of development.
As you’ve heard me mention, the opportunity for self storage development is huge right now - the key? Doing it right!
Tune in, take note, and you’ll be well on your way to better understanding the self storage development process.
