Reviving Retail: How to Turn Empty Retail Stores into Profitable Self-Storage
Manage episode 459981497 series 3462805
Have you noticed the old Kmart in your area being transformed into something completely new? Imagine walking past what used to be a vacant, rundown retail store, only to find it buzzing with activity as a thriving climate-controlled self-storage facility. These transformations are happening more often than you think—and they’re reshaping communities and creating massive opportunities for investors.
In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Secrets, I interviewed Clint Harris, GP at Nomad Capital and host of the Truly Passive Income podcast. Clint is at the forefront of this innovative strategy, converting old big-box retail spaces like Kmarts, warehouses, and even soda bottling facilities into high-performing, profitable assets. He’s not just transforming buildings; he’s transforming the way we think about adding value in commercial real estate.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
- How to identify high-potential properties for self-storage conversion
- The benefits of converting vs. building new self-storage facilities
- Strategies for raising capital and mitigating risk in self-storage projects
