The world of self storage has changed a lot in the last 15 years. Since 2008, investors have had incredible opportunities to turn around underperforming mom-and-pop businesses or convert unused property into more of this in-demand asset class. And nobody knows this better than today’s guest, AJ Osborne.

Since we last spoke in July of 2020, AJ has become one of the world’s top 70 self-storage operators. He’s also the bestselling author of The Investor’s Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage and host of Self Storage Income, the number one podcast in his field.
