Kris Benson is a full time real estate investor, operating self-storage all across the country. In this episode we talk about how he got involved in real estate, how he bought a group of duplexes, but decided that he didn’t really like that asset class because he wasn’t able to scale; how he then decided to jump into multifamily by developing and constructing a 64-unit multifamily complex in a town which has not seen development in almost 30 years; and finally how he transitioned from that into the self-storage world. Kris is also operating Reliant Fund and raising 50 millions right now, so he shares how you can get involved in the self-storage world across the country if you are an accredited investor.   What We Cover:  How and why Kris got into real estate at the age of 29 Finding opportunity for development in an unlikely town in the US What is multifamily syndication Investing in mobile home parks vs. self-storage How Kris analyzes self-storage micro-markets How to keep self-storage relevant and are there any value add opportunities there Predicted growth of the self-storage market How Kris’s Reliant Fund operates  Resources:  https://www.krisbenson.com/  Invest with Kris https://www.krisbenson.com/investwithkris  Connect with Kris https://www.linkedin.com/in/kris-benson/  Interested in real estate investing?
