Welcome to the Mario Dattilo Show Podcast!
In this podcast episode, Joe Evangelisti shares his origin story in the self storage industry. He started out in construction before serving in the Navy, as a springboard to starting his own business. He then transitioned from single family homes to self-storage to avoid burnout and find something more scalable. Joe discusses his approach to finding deals and working with others, as well as the importance of expanding into new markets. He also talks about the benefits of investing in the self-storage industry and how to assess the risk factors of different markets. Joe shares his experience in building a strong personal brand and offers advice for those looking to get into commercial real estate. He emphasizes the importance of commitment and provides contact information for those interested in working with him.
Once known as “The Flip King”, Joe Evangelisti is now the host of The Legacy Blueprint podcast and a leading expert in real estate investing - specifically in the self storage industry. After experiencing “burn out” from chasing single and multi-family deals, Joe walked away from his wildly successful flipping empire and transitioned to the world of Self-Storage. Today, Joe’s mission is to show others how to tap into the massive opportunities hidden inside the self-storage industry. Opportunities that require far less time, less risk and exponentially more profits than any industry in real estate. In addition to The Storage Syndicate, Joe also serves as the CEO of
three 7 and 8 figure companies. Prior to building his business and real estate empire, Joe served in the military as a Builder in the US Navy Seabees. He holds Letters of Commendation from the US Navy and The White House, a Letter of Appreciation from President Clinton, and numerous service medals. Joe lives with his wife Ashley and their 2 girls in beautiful Haddonfield, New Jersey.
