On this week's show, Larry invited Mike Wagner of The Storage Rebellion. Mike bought his first house in February of 2007. Mike has systematically purchased twelve additional houses and one commercial apartment building along with two self storage facilities.

More importantly, he learned that life is far better when you master your money instead of unconsciously letting your money master you. Their mission is to lead others toward a life of freedom that comes with re-learning some important things about money, redefining what success looks like, and implementing a proven plan to help people achieve success.

In this episode, Mike shared different ways to do self storage, different ways to look at it, and different ways to structure the deals.
