169. Starting out in Self Storage - Lessons & Pitfalls w/ Braedon Haertling
Things change at an incredible pace. The economy, interest rates, inflation...how do you compensate for such a volatile financial environment?
We always talk about passive income and how it can help you achieve financial freedom, but a common mistake made is trying to predict the future based on the past. Associating the cost of a current investment with the value of a prospective one is not only risky, but it's also dangerous.
With today's guest, Braedon Haertling, we discuss how Storage is affected by environmental factors and how he was able to overcome a void in his other ventures by starting out in Self Storage. He is incredibly busy during his years in school studying to become a physician's assistant, but he never gave up on his desire to be in real estate. He eventually pivoted to commercial and storage, and we're glad to have him on in this episode to discuss what he learned and his experience starting out.
