Unlocking Insights in Self Storage

Welcome to SelfStorageNewsletter.net, your go-to resource for self storage industry insights, strategy, and real-world perspective. I’m Matt Wess. After nearly two decades on the acquisitions side, I’ve worked across the full spectrum of self storage, from mom-and-pop deals to REIT-level portfolios.

This newsletter isn’t coming from a marketing team or someone sitting on the sidelines. It’s written by someone who’s been in the trenches and still is. I cover everything from deal strategy to due diligence to what happens after the closing. And from time to time, I write about the personal side of the business too, the vulnerability, the lessons learned, and the moments that shape who we are in and out of work.

Whether you’re an owner, operator, investor, or vendor, you’re in the right place. This newsletter is built for people who live and breathe self storage. No fluff, no hype. Just clear, real-world insights you can actually use.
