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.
