EP784: 5 Action Steps for Buying Your First Self-Storage Facility in 2025

I'm a family guy, entrepreneur, real estate investor, coach, adventurer, sports enthusiast, and love helping people.

I'm the founder of FlipEmpire.com and its parent company, Creative RE-Solutions, LLC, and have flipped well over 300 properties.

I graduated from college in 2002 with a Finance and M.I.S. degree, and went to work for General Electric's Financial Management Program (in their Consumer Finance division). At the time, I had aspirations of becoming a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, but sometime during my third month on the job, after working an average of 75 hours a week, I quickly realized that I wasn't going to create the lifestyle I envisioned working for someone else.

I completed my two-year commitment to the company, and fired my bosses in January 2005. A few months later, I went backpacking around Europe & Africa with a few buddies, and while partying in Ibiza, Spain, I received a call from a friend who invited me to a "Marketing for Deals" boot camp that coming month.

This was my "fork in the road". I had financed my 3-month trip on my credit card, was in debt, and had no income. The cost of the event was $997, and after a few minutes of internal debate, I bought the ticket, and booked my flight. I had committed to start a real estate business, and was going to make it happen one-way or the other. Less than two months after that boot camp, I closed my first deal and made $44,000 (which almost replaced my income with GE)!
