How I Structure Deals

I Buy Self-Storage Facilities Directly From Owners. No Brokers. No Public Listings.

If you own a self-storage facility and you’re thinking about selling, I’d like to hear about it. Direct acquisition, flexible deal structures, and 100% confidentiality from the first conversation.
Tell Me About Your Storage Facility

WHAT I LOOK FOR IN
A STORAGE ACQUISITION

Not every facility is the right fit, and I will be honest with you about your specific property.
Here is what I focus on

Consistent occupancy

I look for facilities with a proven track record of stable rental demand. Verifiable revenue rent rolls, delinquency reports, and P&L statements are the baseline. I work with sellers who can provide clear transparency on their operations.

Location and visibility

A facility’s value is tied to its accessibility, frontage, and proximity to residential or commercial density. I look for sites that are easy to access for customers and well-positioned within their local market.

Site condition and security

While I do not require brand-new construction, I do look for facilities that have been well-maintained. Fencing, gate systems, lighting, and unit condition matter. I account for future capital expenditure needs upfront in my valuation rather than using them as a renegotiation tool during due diligence

Operational potential

Whether the facility is fully managed or run on a semi-absentee basis, I look for systems that are in place and working. If your facility has potential for expansion, rent optimization, or improved marketing, that is a strong positive signal.

Land and lease control

Whether you own the land or have a long-term ground lease with renewal options, having control of the property is a vital component of the business value.
If your facility doesn’t check every box, reach out anyway. Context matters, and many situations are more workable than they appear on paper.

HOW I STRUCTURE STORAGE DEALS

There is no single right structure. I build the deal around what works for you.

THE CONFIDENTIALITY GUARANTEE

Selling a storage facility is a private matter. Your tenants do not need to know. Your competitors certainly do not need to know.

Every inquiry is protected from the first contact. I sign a mutual NDA before we review any financial information. Your business will never be listed on a marketplace. It will never be marketed to a database of buyers. I am the buyer—there is no middle layer.

WHO I WORK WITH

I acquire self-storage facilities from owners in various situations:

1) Retiring owners who have operated the same facility for years and want a clean, private exit.

2) Operators experiencing burnout who want to hand the keys to someone who will maintain the site’s standards.

3) Owners navigating a partnership change or a consolidation where a full sale is the best resolution.

4) Sellers seeking liquidity now, without the time and expense of listing with a broker.

WHAT THE PROCESS LOOKS LIKE

[Step 1]

You reach out. Tell me the basics: the general area of the storage facility, the number of units, and your motivation for selling. No financials are required at this stage.

[Step 2]

We talk. A brief, no-pressure call where you tell me about the operation.

[Step 3]

Mutual NDA. If we decide to proceed, we sign a confidentiality agreement and move to reviewing the financials and equipment lists.

[Step 4]

Written offer. I provide a letter of intent with a clear number and a proposed structure.

[Step 5]

Due diligence and close. I verify the information, inspect the machines, and we move to closing.

COMMON QUESTIONS FROM
SELF- STORAGE FACILITY OWNERS

Do you need a broker?

No. Selling directly to a private buyer saves you the broker commission, which can be significant. You keep more of the proceeds and keep the process private.

Equipment age is just one factor in the valuation. We will account for it transparently in the offer.
If you have reliable records of revenue and expenses, we can work through it. I will tell you exactly what I need to feel comfortable moving forward.
