In this episode, Charles Carillo interviews Joe Downs, co-founder of Belrose Group, about his journey from financial advisor to owning over 20 self-storage facilities.

  • The difference between Pro Storage and Small Bay Flex

  • Why 80% of storage is still owned by mom-and-pops and what that means for investors

  • How to find off-market deals and use SBA loans

  • Tips for beginners looking to enter the self-storage industry in 2025

Learn how Joe raised over $90M in commercial real estate syndications and now helps others break into this niche space.
