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.

EP201: How To Generate More Leads On A Shoestring Budget
Alex received a listener question about how to get deals on a small marketing budget. Direct Mail and Cold Calling is great but remember that time is also an asset. If you don't have money, then chances are you have time. Alex shares examples of what a little bit of networking can do for you and your business without it costing you a single cent! Key Takeaways: How can we generate more leads, and close more deals if we don't have a marketing budget? Start planting seeds with people you meet (don't be annoying about it, though). Alex shares an example of what he means by 'planting seeds.' Remember, don't judge a book by its cover. Alex's UPS driver has sent him 13 leads. That all came from just talking to someone! Everybody out there either knows somebody looking to buy a house, sell a house, and/or knows somebody with money. Whenever you want to do something, ask yourself, "How can I?" Don't allow your brain to think of the negative ways you can't. AGAIN!!! Always start the question with 'How can I?' Please leave a rating and a review on iTunes. It helps out the show!

EP200: If You're Able, You're Obligated — Obligated to Give Back, Obligated to Help Others
To celebrate the big 200, Alex invites Erik Stark back onto the show to talk about giving back and the importance of going above and beyond for the people in your community. Last year, Alex and Erik made a big impact by hosting a Holiday Mastermind to help victims of Hurricane Irma get back on their feet. This year, they will be hosting a similar event in Bimini (Bahamas), in mid-July to support We Are GRACES. If you're interested in this mastermind, reach out to Alex for more info! Key Takeaways: THANK YOU!!! 200 episodes is a milestone for this podcast, and I appreciate you for supporting the show. Alex personally believes in giving back regularly and being a servant of God. Erik also has similar beliefs and shares why giving back is so important. One of the worst things that can happen to you is you die and you didn't live your full potential. Alex inspired Erik to move down from Michigan to South Florida to start a new life with his family. How did Alex and Erik start the Holiday Mastermind? When the Hurricane Irma hit, the destruction was bad and here Erik was selflessly giving back to the community. To be honest, Alex felt guilty he wasn't doing enough. Don't sit on your hands. If you think you can do something, do it. Too many people wait for others to lead when it can be YOU! Last Christmas, the charity work Alex and Erik did brought smiles to about 100 children who virtually had nothing. One person can impact an entire generation or family. One person! What were some of the key takeaways that Erik learned at the holiday mastermind? Want to support the Holiday Mastermind? Alex and Erik are hosting the next one in Bimini (Bahamas) in mid-July.

EP198: When the Market Shifts, There Are Going to Be Fewer Buyers out There.
Alex shares some wisdom on how to keep a steady flow of cash buyers in your pipeline. If you don't have any cash buyers to turn to when you've locked up a contract, then you don't have a deal! As the market shifts, you're going to find it harder and harder to get a cash buyer, so it's important to develop and build those relationships now before it's too late. Key Takeaways: Keep an eye out for episode 200! Thank you so much for submitting your iTunes reviews. It really helps out the show. Shoutout to Angel, Jake, and Sean for writing a review! If you go to the Flip Empire website and use the search function, you can find a wealth of knowledge! Alex has dived into the topic of cash buyers in the past. The market is going to shift. Alex personally knows guys who do 10-15 deals a month and they don't do any marketing to sellers. Buyers are getting cautious right now. Make sure you have KPIs on how many potential buyers you speak with. When the market shifts, you want to have more options. Take one action on this and get to work!

EP195: Are You Thinking & Acting Like a CEO?
Alex recently got back from a mastermind and took away some really good points. One of them being is that as the leader of your company, your job isn't 100% all about building the product you're selling; your job is to build the team. A good team will help take you way further than no team. As a leader, you want to bring your team up and serve/help them to the best of your ability, not just manage them. Key Takeaways: It's important to implement good ideas right away. Don't wait! Are you thinking like a leader? As the CEO, it's your job to build the team, not so much the product. Your team builds the product. Don't just look at yourself as CEO, look at yourself as a coach as well. Provide your team with real leadership. Don't just 'manage' them. You want your team to be better people in life and professionally. Things get better in your life when you serve others. It's cliche, but true. Your network is your net worth. The quality of your relationships is going to directly impact the type of person you are and the type of life you live.

EP194: Ramon Gonzalez and Alex Pardo Talk About Their Journey, Building Authentic Relationships, Masterminds, & Creating Wealth
This is Ramon (Ray) Gonzalez's third appearance on the show! Alex and Ray go way back and this week's episode focuses on why mindset, surrounding yourself with amazing people, and holding yourself to a higher standard are so, so important for you, your family, and your business. Be sure to check back on the earlier episodes with Ray (links in the show notes). Key Takeaways: Are your dreams for sale? When things get hard, instead of giving up, you gotta lean in! Hold yourself to your standards. Get people to call you out. You're never going to get more than whatever you think you're worth. Why does Ray love attending masterminds? By hanging out with amazing people, they help catch you and keep you to a higher standard. If people are not enhancing your life, why are you wasting your most valuable commodity (your time) on them? How do you turn an acquaintance into a true friend? Remember, relationships are built over time. People can tell if you're being fake or if you're being sincere and genuine. What kinds of benefits can you get from attending a high-level mastermind? When we pay — that's when we pay attention. You have to do your own pushups. No one else is going to do it for you. Make sure you're clear on what you want, not on what you think you want because you see other people's success. Ray is hosting a mastermind! Who is this event for? The growth process never stops.

EP193: My Exact Morning Ritual Revealed (and Why Having One is Critical To Your Health & Success!)
Alex has seen his morning routine evolve over the years, but he has never forgotten the importance of having one. Nearly every high-level achiever out there has a morning routine and there's a reason for it. On today's episode, Alex shares what his morning routine looks like and leaves you with seven questions (courtesy of Tony Robbins) that you should be asking yourself daily. Key Takeaways: Always strive to improve yourself. Find people who lift you up. Make sure you enjoy the journey as you're striving for your goals. Alex has noticed that high achievers have some sort of morning ritual. Alex's morning ritual has changed over the years. He reflects on what he used to do three years ago. What happens if you don't have a morning routine? Alex shares what his current morning routine looks like. Flood your body with water when you wake up. Your body is dehydrated! Alex watches his vision video every morning while he's brushing his teeth. Goals are kind of meaningless until there's a strong reason attached to them. When you write down your goals, make sure they MEAN something to you. Tony Robbins recommends that you ask yourself these seven questions.
