About

Inside Our Approach

We own 18 self-storage properties comprised of 3,100 storage units and 400,000 rentable square feet plus 188 RV parking stalls in 5 states (GA, NC, SC, AR, UT) and we have raised approximately $10 million in outside investor capital.

Our investment criteria focuses on self-storage properties with expansion and conversion capabilities, and applying full automation to those properties with the goal of turning them into top-tier properties in their area.

Additionally, we look for value-add plays by finding self-storage properties in growing markets that have substantial upside in income growth and appreciation from improved management and operation, such as, increasing below market rents and controlling above average expenses. This combination results in a substantial increase in the cash flow and value of the property, which our investors can profit from.
