What happens when a burned-out single-family flipper pivots—and builds a $75M self-storage empire?
In this episode, discover how Travis Ryan Baucom shares how he transitioned from managing 400+ single-family deals to building and syndicating scalable self-storage facilities across Texas and Oklahoma. You'll hear the full story of how he achieved a 154% return for investors in just 18 months, his strategies for sourcing mom-and-pop facilities, and why he’s laser-focused on cash flow over growth metrics. Travis also pulls back the curtain on raising capital through LinkedIn, cold emails, and even AI-powered phone calls—plus why he’s adapting his acquisition model in today’s tighter, higher-rate environment. If you're serious about finding yield in a tough market, you’ll want to take notes.
Top 5 Key Takeaways:
- Self-Storage Over Single Family: Travis left single-family real estate for a leaner, less stressful business model with fewer headaches—and far better scalability.
- Investor Returns First: He prioritizes cash flow and conservative underwriting, even if that means putting down 50% equity to pay preferred returns in today’s market.
- Raising Capital with Tech & Trust: From cold emails and LinkedIn targeting to AI-driven cold calls, Travis shows how to get in front of accredited investors at scale.
- Finding Deals That Work: He breaks down how word-of-mouth, broker relationships, and strategic direct mail help uncover viable storage opportunities.
- Adaptability Is Everything: With yield tightening and leverage shrinking, he’s pivoting to land entitlement, hard money lending, and small residential plays to maintain cash flow.
