We also discuss the potential of industrial outdoor storage, the challenges of building a marketplace for truckers and parking lot owners, and how real estate investors can profit from this growing trend. Evan shares great insights about the market, the importance of solving real problems, and how focusing on a clear goal can lead to tremendous growth.
