Can a family of four with full schedules really break into self-storage investing? 

Adam and Kirby Leiby from Raleigh, North Carolina, just proved it's possible, and they brought the kids along for the ride.  

In this first episode of a special new series “First Deal First Dive” episode of the Self Storage Investing Podcast, guest host Joe Downs connects with the Leibys, recent grads of Scott Meyers’ academy, to unpack how they went from Instagram ad skeptics to proud owners of Lemon Springs Self Storage in under a year.  

From initial doubts and late-night training sessions to a near-missed deal and final success, the couple candidly shares their step-by-step journey, how they divided responsibilities, and what it really takes to get your first storage facility under contract.  

If you’re wondering whether the dream of passive income through self-storage is actually doable, this is the episode that proves it.
