In this episode, Andrew Bean shares an in-depth look at his newest self-storage value-add project located on the Central Coast of NSW. Building on the success of his previous $5.7M to $8M transformation in Wollongong, Andrew walks us through how he sourced this underperforming asset, structured the deal, and is rapidly increasing its value through smart operations, automation, and future development potential.
Key Takeaways:
- The Self-Storage Strategy: Why industrial self-storage is Andrew's current investment focus and how it compares to SaaS-style recurring revenue businesses.
- Sourcing the Deal: The importance of long-term agent relationships and how patience and timing landed this opportunity.
- The Numbers: Purchase price at $3.2M, with an $81K increase in NET income already—boosting the property’s value by $1.3M within 8 months.
- Hands-On Value Add: Learn how Andrew cleaned up an overgrown site, implemented a management system, improved occupancy to 98%, and prepared the property for expansion.
- Future Upside: Plans to add 26 portable units and a full first-floor development, projecting the property’s value to hit $8M–$9M.
- The Deal Structure: How Andrew negotiated a win-win for all parties involved—sellers, agents, and property managers—using a creative license fee and option fee model.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
