In 2017, we had a problem…
Economists, investors, and operators thought we had pulled the final straw. To many, it had seemed like commercial real estate had passed over the line into overvalued territory.
Fortunately for most of us, various factors such as bonus depreciation, inflation, and new economic data changed much of the sentiments of that time.
However, it’s now five years later. Markets are hot, inflation is high, cap rates are squeezed, and everyone you talk to is a bull.
But not to worry because our guest today has high conviction that self-storage is the way to hedge against inflation and position yourself for the unknown. In this episode, he tells us how to invest in this exciting asset class without losing money!

Today, Paul Moore shares some of the insights he has gained, having gone full-cycle on over 85 real estate deals through multiple cycles. He is the Managing Partner of Wellings Capital and has recently published his latest book’ “Storing Up Profits: Capitalize on America's Obsession with Stuff by Investing in Self-Storage.”
In this episode, we discuss…
- Why Self-Storage has been experiencing an unprecedented boom in demand, which was partly accelerated by COVID-19.
- Why Self-Storage makes sense from a macro and microeconomic perspective.
- Where Paul is investing in Self-Storage and why it is more important than ever to vet your operators before the deal.
- Some of the creative solutions best-in-class operators have implemented to compete in any market.

If you are a passive investor seeking new perspectives to home your investment theses or a capital-raiser looking for new ways to approach choosing sponsors to partner with, Paul’s insights will undoubtedly be valuable to you.
Take Control,
Hunter Thompson
