#82 - From Dirt to Dollars: Unlocking the Hidden Gold of Industrial Real Estate with Christopher Long
In this episode, Steven Arita talks with Christopher Long, a carpenter who turned his love for building into a business called Long Yards. Chris explains how Long Yards helps businesses by providing flexible storage spaces for things like equipment, trailers, and workspaces. They offer cool options like mobile offices ("Long Offices") and foldable containers ("Long Boxes"), along with secure, short-term leases.
Chris also shares his “Go Long or Go Home” program, where people can use SBA loans to start their own yard sites using Long Yards’ system. He talks about his approach to real estate, including his “110-3-1” rule, and how hard work, curiosity, and a love for building have helped him succeed.
Chris talks about the process of developing land, finding opportunities in the IOS market, and the importance of teamwork and learning. If you’re interested in business, real estate, or just building something from scratch, this episode is packed with helpful advice.
