Self-Storage
is Our Foundation
We start where the opportunity is clearest — a fragmented, recession-resilient industry where 73% of facilities are still owned by independent operators, and where disciplined consolidation creates compounding value.
Facility Acquisitions
We acquire profitable, cash-flowing self-storage facilities from independent operators approaching retirement — targeting secondary and tertiary markets across the Sun Belt where institutional competition is limited and seller motivation is high.

Keys to a
Successful Transaction
Whether you are acquiring or selling, the fundamentals of a strong transaction are the same. These are the ten factors that determine whether a deal closes with confidence — or falls apart under scrutiny.
Accurate, consistent financial statements are the foundation of every deal. Organized records signal a well-run operation and build immediate credibility on both sides of the table.
Adjusted earnings — true cash flow after removing one-time or owner-specific items — drive valuation. A clean, defensible earnings picture builds trust and supports a stronger price.
All corporate documents, contracts, leases, permits, and licenses — organized and current. Missing or disorganized legal records are among the most common causes of deal delays.
Buyers pay a premium for businesses that run without the owner. Documented processes and a capable team that can sustain operations through a transition command stronger valuations.
Consistent, predictable revenue is the single greatest driver of a higher valuation. Occupancy trends, renewal rates, and low customer concentration all support a stronger multiple.
Tax returns, P&L statements, rent rolls, insurance policies, and debt schedules — organized and ready. A complete package shortens due diligence and signals a professional operation.
Unresolved disputes, deferred maintenance, or compliance issues discovered in due diligence give the other party leverage to renegotiate. Proactive disclosure is always the stronger position.
Both parties need a clear picture of cash flow cycles, collections, and payables. A working capital shortfall at closing can directly reduce the purchase price — preparation prevents surprises.
Competitive advantages, market position, and growth potential matter as much as the numbers. Buyers invest in what the business can become — sellers who know their story command stronger offers.
Experienced M&A advisors, legal counsel, and tax professionals on both sides lead to smoother, faster closings. The best outcomes come to those who prepare early and engage the right team.
"We approach every transaction with the same discipline and diligence we bring to our own portfolio — whether we are the buyer, the partner, or the advisor in the room."
