Taking the Plunge and Buying Your First Storage Facility with Rafa Ortiz

What’s going on everybody!? Welcome back to the Self Storage Income Podcast. This your host AJ Osborne.

We have another incredible guest lined up for you today and if you follow or are a part of the extreme kayaking world, you’ll recognize his name.

Our guest today is Rafa Ortiz. Being a professional kayaker sponsored by some of the biggest names in the extreme sports world such as Redbull and GoPro… self storage is far from his usual. But Rafa has recently discovered the power of not only real estate investing, but in self storage investing. After discovering the potential that self storage can offer, Rafa decided to purchase his first facility.

Today, Rafa shares his experience with his first facility from how he financed it when no banks would give him a loan to the incredible process it takes to get your storage investment train started and moving. We also dive into the journey that is investing and what you should expect as you begin or continue down your investment path.

As always guys, thanks a ton for listening and I know you’re going to love this episode.
