Storage Wins
Alex Pardo
What if you could finally escape the grind, quit your job, and build real wealth?
Not by flipping more houses or managing tenants, but by owning a self-storage business that creates real freedom. Imagine waking up knowing you're in control: your business is running, your income is steady, and your time is finally yours. That's what Storage Wins is all about.
If you're tired of trading dollars for hours, being burnt out from chasing deals that create more work, and are ready for a step-by-step system to buy your first self-storage facility, even if you don't have tons of time, money, or years of experience...this podcast is for you.
Most real estate investors and employees feel stuck. Maybe you're grinding away at a nine-to-five that drains you or hustling in a single-family real estate business that leaves you stressed and overwhelmed. You dream of passive income and cash flow, but every solution you try just adds more chaos to your life. The truth is, you don't need to manage dozens of properties, fix broken toilets, or put up with nightmare tenants. There is a smarter, more scalable way.
The problem isn't that self-storage is out of reach. Most people are overwhelmed by conflicting advice, all the moving pieces, and the myth that you need a ton of money or years of experience to get started. You end up overthinking, burning out, or worst of all, doing nothing and watching your dreams slip away. Other people are making it work and you wonder, why not me? What am I missing?
The answer is clarity, a proven plan, and a supportive community.
Imagine this: You have a clear roadmap to buy your first self-storage facility in the next six to twelve months, even if you've never done a real estate deal before. You know what to look for, how to find off-market deals, raise capital, and structure acquisitions that build wealth. You're part of a group that values simplicity, automation, and systems that make business more profitable. You are making progress, building cash flow, and finally owning your time.
Hosted by Alex Pardo, real estate investor, coach, and former host of The Flip Empire Show, Storage Wins is your weekly guide to building a self-storage business that serves your life. Each episode brings you practical insights from Alex and top experts, as well as real stories from students and everyday investors. We go deep on what works: choosing the right market, negotiating deals, automating operations, avoiding rookie mistakes, and scaling up for real financial freedom.
This show is about reclaiming your time and building a business that works for you. If you're sick of the rat race, exhausted by the endless hustle, and are ready to create freedom, wealth, and legacy, this is your show. You don't have to sacrifice your family, faith, or sanity to succeed. You just need a plan, one good deal, and the belief that freedom is closer than you think.

EP231: Why You Must Unplug from the Business (and Make Your Team Feel Valued)
Alex shares some thoughts and reflections he's been having as of late. It's important to disconnect and unplug from your business to discover new ways to be better. Also, don't forget to appreciate your team members and find out on a personal level what motivates them. At the end of the day, if something is not working for you, find a way to pivot because everybody deserves to be happy and to live the best version of themselves. Key Takeaways: Have you been doing something for the last eight months and it just isn't working? It might be tough, but make time to unplug from the business to get your head straight. Disconnect from 'life' and ask yourself thought-provoking questions that help you become better. Alex feels so blessed and grateful to have a team that keeps things moving. It's important you communicate to your team how important they are to your business. Make them feel valued. Some people simply aren't motivated by money. You can't always throw money at people to incentivize them. So, how can you keep them motivated? Alex reflects on a masterclass he had with Haim Mamane. This business should not be just about money. A sustainable business has to go beyond dollar signs and profit margins. Mentioned in This Episode: Feel free to connect with Alex about doing a JV!

EP230: Nathan Brooks Shares His Thoughts on Leadership, Scaling Up Vs. Scaling Down, and Building a Rental Portfolio
Nathan Brooks is a real estate investor that's looking to do roughly 150 fix-and-flips this year. He also provides turnkey investment opportunities to clients in seven different countries. In total, Nathan and his team are looking to do about $20 million in revenue this year alone! Find out more about Nathan's leadership philosophy, how to scale up, and what his rental portfolio looks like today. Key Takeaways: How did Nathan get started in the business and what does it look like today? How did Nathan grow his business so successfully? Nathan had trouble scaling up because the process that worked for flipping/buying 3 houses didn't transfer over to when he wanted to flip/buy 10 houses. How do you know when to speed up and/or slow down? You need to do the basic foundational steps (your why, your vision, etc.) to see whether it even makes sense for you to scale up. A good leader knows when to be a backup system, take the lead, or just take a steady pace. What kinds of things does Nathan do to improve his leadership skills? Leaders forget that it always starts with 'me.' If you're not improving yourself in some way every day — if you're not thinking about your team and the people who serve you, you are failing. You have to know what kind of levers to pull based on who you're working with. What does Nathan's rental portfolio look like today? Alex and Nathan know several people who are positioning themselves wisely in case of a market downturn. How does Nathan manage his rental properties? What questions should you be asking when trying to vet a tenant? What's one piece of advice Nathan would give to his 28-year-old self?

EP228: Jon Carcone: The Ultimate Goal is Cash Flow
Jon Carcone has been a real estate investor since 2009. Last year, he closed on 40 deals, but his ultimate goal is to generate $10,000 a month in a cash flow from rental properties. Jon shares his experience with low-end rentals and why he decided to make the switch to high-end rentals despite the additional costs. Jon stresses the importance of creating a lifestyle business that matches your needs. Key Takeaways: What kind of challenges has Jon faced so far? It's definitely gotten harder to secure deals over the last few years. A couple of years ago, Alex could make a decent living with just him and his VA. What type of business do you want to develop? It's important to get clear on that. Jon has been intentional in trying to develop a lifestyle business, not a corporation. What is Jon's business model today and how does he structure his team? Last year Jon did 43 deals. 23 were rehabs and 20 were wholesales. Jon's ultimate goal is to try and get to $10,000 a month in cash flow. Jon shares his interesting experiences in being a landlord so far. What was Jon's biggest takeaway when it came to buying low-end rentals? How did Jon get into the high-end rentals? Jon shares a case study of a high-end property and the process it took to go from vacancy to full. Did Jon ever consider going into commercial real estate? The wholesaling business helps out a lot because you can make a lot of money. It's a simple business, but it's not always easy. A bad hire can be deadly in your business. Pay attention to the data! Your marketing will tell you the real story. If it was easy, it wouldn't be satisfying! What advice would Jon give his younger self? There's nothing wrong with starting later in life! Mentioned in This Episode: Connect w/ Jon Carcone on Facebook, and/or visit him at Brothersbuyhouses.com The Founder on IMDB Tweetables: "No one's life is perfect. Doesn't matter what you're doing. Everyone has things that they're not happy with." "Most people, when they think rental property, but they don't think high-end." "The wholesaling business is awesome because you can make a lot of money. It's a simple business, but it's not easy."

EP224: Haim Mamane Talks about Pivoting from Virtual Wholesaling to High-End Flips (and Gaining More Happiness & Fulfillment In The Process)
This is Haim Mamane's second appearance on the show and a lot has changed since then! Last we heard from Haim he was in Memphis running a team of seven people and closing roughly five to six deals a month. However, about a year or so ago, Haim realized that none of that made him happy and it was time for a shift in business model, perspectives, and even markets! Find out what he's up to today and how he's 'cut the fat' on everything that made him unhappy. Key Takeaways: Haim was always giving info out for free and helping others when Alex and he first connected. Who is Haim and what does he do? After growing the business and having a team of seven people, Haim realized he hated it. Haim decided to change his business model and go for low volume/high spread deals. That way he can make much more money with fewer deals and have a smaller team to manage. Haim didn't want to be a slave to his business. When did Haim decide to make this shift? What was the San Francisco market like as compared to Memphis? Haim shares a quick story of one of his first sellers in SF. Now, if it makes sense to rehab it, Haim will just rehab it. He wasn't doing that before in Memphis. Haim has done two rehabs this year and one wholesale. What does Haim's team look like today? Haim now focuses on the parts of the business that fulfill him and has 'cut the fat' on everything else. What kind of things has Haim been investing in to generate cash flow?

EP222: Ron Phillips Goes Deep on Failed Partnerships, Hiring the Right People, and Investing in Cash Flow Producing Assets
Ron Phillips has 17 years of real estate experience and is more than happy to share his wealth of knowledge with you today. Everything from hiring the right people, failed partnerships, and the steps he took to build a steady stream of cash flow is revealed in today's masterclass! Ron's been able to build a life of freedom where he can take more vacations and spend it with his loved ones. Key Takeaways: Ron just got back from vacation with his family. At the end of the day, money just gives us options. Having a clear life vision was a complete game changer for Ron and Alex. How did Ron get started in real estate? Ron shares how he closed his first real estate deal … with literally no money in his pocket. If you know sales and marketing, then you'll never starve. People today are so afraid of talking to other people. All they want to do is text and not pick up the phone or knock on the door. Don't be those people! What has Ron's experiences been like when it comes to business partnerships? No one can take away what you learn. You can lose all your stuff, but you don't lose experience. It took seven years to build Ron's first company, but through his experience, he was able to rebuild his company within a year. If you don't ask, then you're never going to get the benefit of other people's experience and knowledge. Don't let your pride get in the way of your growth. What does Ron's business look like today? What's Ron's hiring process look like? Ron would hire people who were PERFECT for the position, but it never would work out! Why? They weren't aligned in their values. People who don't align with your core values will eventually cost you money, time, and the glue that holds your team together.
