Alex Pardo on Self Storage Investing and Why He Exited Wholesaling | Ideas & Capital Ep 16
Alex Pardo spent years building one of the more recognizable wholesaling operations in the country. Then he shut it down. In this episode, Alex joins Tyler Casey to talk about why volume businesses burn operators out, what he saw in self storage that he couldn't find in transactional real estate, and how he thinks about buying assets that produce income without consuming his life to run them. We get into how he underwrites a facility, what he looks for in a market, where storage operators create value that sellers leave on the table, and how his mastermind community, Ascend, shaped the way he coaches other investors through the same transition. If you've built a business that pays well but demands everything, this one's worth your time. In this episode: — Why Alex walked away from wholesaling at the top — What drew him to self storage over other asset classes — How he evaluates a facility and a market — Operational levers that move NOI in storage — Advice for operators stuck in transactional income The Ideas & Capital Show is hosted by Tyler and Renee Casey.
