MAK Construction LLC

Real Estate Investor and CEO at MAK Capital | Luxury Storage Developer | 200+ CRE units | Financial Freedom Mentor

I’m Marc Kuhn and in 1994 I started my construction career with my Dad. I started at $1 per hour and got a $1 raise every year as I worked for my dads construction company. 

In 2010, I left my hourly job with $2,500 in my bank account. 

I started my entrepreneurial path and opened MAK Construction, my first business. I’ve grown the construction company to over $25 million a year. We develop commercial projects both 3rd party and investment projects for our investors. 

Since 2018, we have added over 200 units in the Midwest. The benefits of real estate have given me the freedom of time. My goal is to help investors reach financial freedom through real estate. 

Today I own and operate three successful companies that do eight figures a year.

I grew up in poverty. 
I became a multimillionaire in my 30s. 
 
I dropped out of school. 
I spent 13 years studying real estate. 
 
I started working in concrete when I was 6. 
I built my own construction company to $20M+ annually. 
 
I came from a broken family. 
I have a wonderful wife and 3 healthy kids. 
 
I wasn’t given much. 
I figured it out anyway. 
 
Rags-to-riches stories are so appealing because we love hearing about people who overcame the odds. 
 
But overcoming the odds isn’t always as flashy as the stories make it seem. 
 
Look back at what I just wrote. 
 
The two biggest catalysts to my material wealth were: 
 
1) Spending 13 years studying the same industry. 
2) Starting a construction company. 
 
Not many things are less sexy than studying and construction. 
 
You don’t need to be an AI whiz. 
You don’t need to be a Saas guru. 
You don’t need to have a 130 IQ.  
 
You just need to determine your path, prioritize your path, and stick with your path. 
 
Don’t have a leg up? 
 
Good. 
 
Use that to fuel you.

I bought my childhood home for $85,000. 
 
And it’s all thanks to my community. 
 
A few years ago, the house I grew up in was up for auction. 
 
Most of the bidders at the auction were planning on doing the same thing: 
 
-> Buy it. 
-> Demolish it. 
-> Build a new home. 
 
The morning of the auction, I called my banker. 
 
“I’m going to put in an offer.” 
 
I didn’t know what would happen — or if I had a chance the highest bid. 
 
When the bidding opened, I was the first one. 
 
"$85,000." 
 
I waited. 
And waited. 
 
And not a single person made another bid. 
 
Why? 
 
Because they knew me. 
 
I live in Grand Forks, North Dakota. We’re in the eastern part of the state, right near the Minnesota border.  
 
We’re the third-biggest city in the state, but in North Dakota, that means we still only have about 60,000 people. 
 
And in a place like that? 
 
Community is everything.  
 
Everyone at the auction knew who I was. 
They knew it was my childhood home. 
They knew why I was there. 
 
So instead of placing their own bids, they made sure I was the only bid. 
 
And they made sure I got my childhood home back.  
 
My wife Chelsie and I ended up renovating the home, and it’s made a wonderful place to raise our family. 
 
They say it takes a village to raise a child. 
And I agree. 
 
But my village did something more. 
 
My village gave my children their forever home. 
 
Community is pretty cool. 
 
Cherish yours.

A job won't lead to financial freedom.  
  
But here's a skill that will:  
  
The skill of self education.  
  
School didn't teach you about money?  
 Start reading books. 📚  
  
School didn't teach you about real estate?  
Start watching YouTube. 📺  
  
School didn't you teach you to earn online?  
Start talking courses. 💻  
  
School didn't teach you how to be healthy?  
Start listening to podcasts. 🎧  
  
Schools didn't reach you lifestyle design?  
Start finding digital mentors. 🤝  
  
✅ Get wealthy  
✅ Get smarter  
✅ Get healthier  
✅ Get the good life  
  
This is coming from:  
  
- college dropout  
- grew up in motor home  
- failed 1,000,000 times in life  
- still managed to do just fine  
  
All thanks to self-education.

I don’t shelter my kids. 
 
You shouldn’t either. 
 
What you teach your kids when they’re young is what they’ll know for the rest of their lives.  
 
You get about 18 years before they leave the nest. 
 
Don’t shelter them. 
Don’t do everything for them. 
Don’t avoid “boring” topics. 
Don’t avoid “taboo” topics. 
Don’t coddle them. 
 
- Teach them about making money. 
- Teach them about spending money. 
- Teach them how to change the oil in a car. 
- Teach them what makes a great investment. 
- Teach them all the things you wish your parents taught you. 
 
Too many people take care of their kids’ every need. 
 
Because it's hard to see your kids struggle — I get it. 
 
But your kids need to struggle. 
 
As a parent, it’s my goal for my kids to grow up and exceed what I’ve done in life. 
 
For so many parents, that’s the dream. 
 
But I credit my success to the challenges I’ve faced. 
 
Which is why I don't shelter my kids. 
 
What about you?  


Don't be afraid of getting fired...  
  
You should fear this scenario 100X more:  
  
For decades, you're ushered down the path to the "good life"  
  
You know the one where you have:  
  
- No control of your time  
- No assets to your name  
- No clue how money works  
- No freedom to travel or live  
  
Not until you're 70 anyway.

It didn't stop me from: 
 
- Building a business to $20M revenue

Degrees are valuable. 
 
But you don't need formal education to be successful in life.

find mentors to teach you business. 
 
If you don't have a degree in finance,

I was terrified to do my first real estate deal. 
 
My brain kept screaming the same 5 fears: 
 
- "What if you lose money, Marc?" 
- "What if you can't find renters, Marc?" 
- "What if you're in over your head, Marc?" 
- "What if you take on too much debt, Marc?" 
- "What if you're making a huge mistake, Marc?" 
 
Don't let anyone fool you: 
 
Real estate investing is nerve-wracking. 
 
Everyone feels this way at first. 
Everyone.  
 
Fear in the face of risk is normal. 
 
But you don't have to be at the mercy of fear. 
 
I've always been a believer that education reduces anxiety. 
 
And less anxiety leads to less fear. 
 
You're not going to know everything going into your first real estate investment. 
 
But the more you know, the better you'll feel. 
 
If you're a beginner, here are the best 3 books to start with: 
 
1. The Book On Rental Property Investing 
2. How to Invest in Real Estate: Ultimate Beginner's Guide 
3. Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down 
 
(They're all by Brandon Turner.) 
 
You'll never be 100% ready for anything. 
 
But by educating yourself, you can increase your confidence. 
 
- Fears are normal. 
- Anxiety is normal. 
- Nerves are normal. 
 
But if you ask me? 
 
Those feelings mean you're on the brink of something big. 
 
Keep going.

You don't need $1,000,000 to start thinking like a millionaire (do the opposite) ↓

Why is it important to unfollow the herd for financial security?

How can real estate investment lead to financial freedom?

How can dividend stocks help me achieve financial security?

Here's why a market crash won't stop me from investing $1M+ in Luxury Storage:  
  
• Will interest rates go up?  
• Will interest rates go down?  
• Are we in a housing bubble?  
• Is it still a good time to invest?  
  
I don't have a crystal ball...  
  
But I know your performance will depend on the investors you work with.  
  
Some investors have more skills.  
Some investors find better deals.  
Some investors are more creative.  
Some investors see opportunities.  
  
Luxury storage is the opportunity we're going big on in 2024.  
  
Developing it.  
Operating it.  
Renting it.  
  
In my backyard of North Dakota and across the U.S. with investors from LinkedIn.  
  
We're still getting deals done.  
  
How?  
  
𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 + 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 
  
Those two go a long way when markets are fearful like they are now.

• Own a construction company 
• Own a development company 
• Own 100k SF of storage already

How does luxury storage differ from traditional storage?

How I’m turning the “poor man’s contractor shop” into the rich man’s investment opportunity:  
 
(It’s all about the 57-Day Rule.) 
 
The “poor man’s contractor shop” is my name for luxury storage facilities. 
 
I call it a poor man’s contractor shop because we often find our main tenants are: 
 
- Small contractors. 
- Small businesses. 
- Entrepreneurs with inventory needs. 
 
With these bigger luxury storage units (think 20x50), our tenants tend not just store their trucks, boats, and RVs — but a lot of their business equipment, too. 
 
Now, look at it this way. 
 
You’ve seen Storage Wars, right? 
 
- People don’t pay their storage bills. 
- The units go to auction. 
- They lose their stuff. 
 
Unreliable tenants are one of the main problems for self-storage facilities. 
 
But there’s a rule with storage: 
 
If you don’t pay your bill after 57 days, the owner of the facility is legally allowed to sell everything within your unit and take the profit. 
 
If it’s tables, lamps, and end chairs, that’s not the end of the world for the tenant. 
 
But if it’s the equipment you need to operate your business?  
If it’s your truck?  
If it’s your boat?  
 
My guess is you’ll be more inclined to make sure your bills are paid on time.  
 
And for that reason — and so many more — I love luxury storage.
