100 – 3 – 1 The Secret to Finding Land For Your Next Self-Storage! By Marc Goodin, CEO of Storage Authority, The Only Self-Storage Franchise in The US

100 – 3 – 1 Boom Land Under Contract!

Finding land is a math equation: 100-3-1

  • Research 100 properties
  • Make 3 offers
  • And purchase one property

Most people research 12 properties the first month, and 10 the next month. The next month they have friends flying in and a birthday party to go to. The next month it is raining. And the next month they say it does not work.

You need to understand the math ½ x 10 does not equal 5. It equals zero. You do not get credit for showing up.

You have to understand the research. Looking at the 1-acre lot next to your house does not count as researching a property. If you can reject a property in 15 – 30 minutes does not count as researching a property.

For the goal of building 80,000 gross square feet you or your agent should be able to quickly check the following 6 items in 15- 30 minutes:

  • The property is for sale
  • Zoned for self-storage
  • 5 usable acres or more
  • The asking price is under $1.5MM
  • The area prices of the competitions 10 x 10 non-cc in the office is $130 or greater
  • On a main road

Often it only takes a couple of minutes to reject a property because it is obvious it does not meet the criteria of one of these so you can move on.

Cheers & Happy Hunting,

Marc
