Storage Moguls

What does it take to go from knowing absolutely nothing about self-storage investing to owning your first storage facility?

Turns out, less than you think. And Storage Moguls is going to show you exactly how.

Storage Moguls is hosted by entrepreneur and storage investing expert Joe Downs. Each week, Joe sits down with seasoned storage operators, real estate investors, SBA lenders, acquisition specialists, and students who've already done the deals, breaking down every piece of the self-storage and Boat & RV storage investment process so that anyone can understand it, act on it, and succeed with it.

Whether you're a first-time real estate investor trying to understand cap rates, NOI, and due diligence, or an experienced entrepreneur ready to scale your commercial real estate portfolio through storage acquisitions, this show removes every barrier between where you are today and your first storage facility.

No fear. No gatekeeping. Just the real storage education, SBA financing strategies, underwriting breakdowns, and passive income playbooks that turn beginners into Storage Moguls.
