Title: Investing into Self Storage w/ Kris Benson

Show notes:

Kris started his real estate investing journey like most investors, after realizing that his W2 was his only stream of income - he wanted to diversify into other streams. From there Kris was able to build a portfolio of 22 units consisting of single family or small multifamily properties all while working his W2 job. After getting to 22 units Kris had a mindset shift, wanting to move into more bigger deals. He was able to segway into a 64 unit ground up commercial deal. After successfully completing this project, Kris knew that he wanted to continue on commercial investing - but had stumbled upon self storage buildings. After diving deeper into self storage he knew that was the asset class he wanted to be in.

Today, Kris is with Reliant Investments as the Chief Investment Officer. Kris leads and manages the company's investment committee, which determines what self storage properties to purchase with their investors. Along with being part of this community, Kris also manages the investor relations securing capital at Reliant Investments.
