Scott: “This event was a culmination of gathering all the tools necessary for a serious investor to actually be successful in this business and also an opportunity for us to meet Scott and his team and the kind of values that they expose.
If you missed weekend, what I would say is find when the next event is…

And your passion for other people is apparent and that’s not always easy to find, out there in the real world.

“I woke up at 5am to drive to our 8am closing and was wondering do I really want to do this? But I trusted our training and followed through. We are on track to beat Moore’s law, doubling our units (or cash flow) every 18 months. Still a lot of work ahead, but at least we can drink wine in our office! (Not cool at my city job)”

Thank you very much for the lovely bottle of wine to help us celebrate the closing of Southside Storage! That was very thoughtful of you, and much appreciated.
And, I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating. Thank you for all that you do every day. We truly could not have done this deal without you and your organization’s help, guidance, advice, connections, experience, and encouragement…
I’m proud to be a part of this organization and looking forward to doing more deals with you going forward.

Our Expert Educators
Scott Meyers
My name is Scott Meyers, and I am known as the Nation’s Leading Expert in the self-storage business. However, I personally don’t consider myself a Self Storage Investing expert in all aspects of the industry as many have labeled me… I’ve been the architect of dozens of extremely successful real estate transactions since I began my real estate career in 1993. I also invested in a deal that turned out to be a financial disaster for one of my companies. Which deal taught me the most?
The one that nearly broke us! All I am really an expert at is making mistakes and learning from them. The key is that I learn from my missteps, I pay attention to my mistakes, and I have become an expert at not making the same mistake twice and at learning from each one. And along the way, I’ve become an expert at teaching others about the business and how to avoid those same mistakes I have made while investing in self storage.

I have seen a lot of changes in the industry in over 25 years! I love to use my experience that I gained at a large self-storage building supplier where we also did the construction of the buildings. As a lender, I have helped people see things in their potential acquisition or new building that they may not have seen themselves, which can save them time and money.
