MAKE YOUR FIRST MILLION WITH A SELF STORAGE PURCHASE

We have all heard that the first million is the hardest to make, even harder than the next 5 or $10 million dollars.  Let’s say you don’t have the $1 – 2 million cash to build a new self-storage facility that could provide a lucrative six-figure generational income and huge nest egg.  But you still like self-storage and have $500K

There is a way, with a team on your side, ready to help and guide you day one.

The concept is You buy a self-storage facility that is sized to fit your budget. The deal must provide multiple ways to increase the existing net operating income. If you increased the yearly NOI by $30,000 at a 6 cap, you would create an extra $500,000 + equity in the facility.  If your original investment was $500,000, you would now have $1,000,000+ equity.

You can’t buy a facility based on COVID strategies:

·      4% interest rates,

·      Assuming rental rates & occupancy are climbing higher.

·      Paying extra for unbuilt expansion or available occupancy for you to fill.

·      Paying extra because rental rates are low

·      Buying at cap rates under 8% unless know advantage like owner financing at low rates

You must buy a facility for its current NOI, not a projected NOI.  And any cap x (repairs) required must be deducted from the purchase price.

Here are some ways to increase the NOI:

·      Require everyone to buy insurance

·      Increase rental rates. (Must be confirmed possible via multiple investigations and a solid game plan.

·      Add on more square footage – maybe container storage or RV parking

·      Increase occupancy

·      Regular auctions

·      Website and online rentals

Exceptional SEO, Sales & Marketing will be required

There is a generation of mom and pop owners, many who are older ( the average self sotrage onwer is over 65 years old and have to refi this year or the next couple of years at interest rates higher than their 4% rates they currently enjoy. For the first time in 5 years, they are ready to sell at reasonable prices.

It is going to take work, understanding how to investigate and underwrite the deal, plus a solid operational, sales, and marketing game plan.  But turning $500K into $1MM in a couple of years is not supposed to be easy.  This option by itself does not produce a lucrative six-figure retirement income and nest egg.  The goal is to get that first million plus under your belt so you can move on to the next level.  Maybe a larger self-storage or several small facilities.

A Storage Authority Franchise has been for the investor with $1.5 Million to invest alongside a large bank loan to build a life-changing income and nest egg.  Given the many people we have had to turn down due to lack of investment funds, Storage Authority and current afordability for some self storage purchases we have developing a second program to help investors with $500K to $1MM to buy a facility they can significantly upgrade and make their first million or two.  If that is you, I would love to talk.  Send me an email.

We're excited that we will soon be helping a new group of entrepreneurs. Maybe you will be the first in our new program?
