What does it take to go from selling timeshares to building a $47 million self-storage portfolio—without using your own money?

In this episode, Alex Quezada takes us inside the mind of a master self-storage creator. From quitting a six-figure timeshare job to transacting 18 self-storage deals (13 of which were seller-financed), Alex shares the unconventional yet wildly effective strategies that have made him one of the top creative dealmakers in the country.

You’ll hear:

  • How Alex turned a five-cap deal into a 12-cap in six months
  • The exact seller financing terms he uses to lock in generational deals
  • Why flex space and industrial storage are the next frontier
  • His full breakdown of a 70,000+ sq ft ground-up development in Tallahassee
  • How he raises capital with single-check writers—and why credibility beats capital every time

If you're in real estate, you’ll walk away with a playbook. If you're new, you’ll walk away with clarity. This is an unfiltered deep dive into high-level self-storage entrepreneurship.
