Sell a Self-Storage Facility
Self-storage is an income asset, and we review it like one — occupancy, the rent roll, and what it costs to run — then move toward a direct purchase when the numbers and the situation line up.
Who this page is for
Owners of a single facility or a small portfolio who want to exit without a long listing: an operator retiring, a facility underperforming against newer competition, a partnership splitting up, or a site carrying deferred maintenance or a maturing loan.
What we review on a storage facility
- Unit count, mix, and current occupancy.
- The rent roll, delinquencies, and concessions.
- Land area and expansion or climate-control potential.
- Condition of roofs, doors, drives, fencing, gates, and security.
- Management, and whether it’s owner-run or third-party.
- Local supply and the competitive radius.
- Zoning and access.
Common situations we see
- An aging facility losing occupancy to newer climate-controlled competitors.
- An owner ready to retire from day-to-day management.
- Deferred capex (roofs, doors, paving) the owner would rather not fund.
- A maturing loan or partnership exit forcing a timeline.
Why a direct sale can fit
No listing period or public marketing, no buyer’s financing to clear, and a close on your timeline — useful when occupancy or condition would slow a conventional sale.
Self-storage questions owners ask
Do you buy underperforming or half-empty storage facilities?
Yes — low occupancy is one of the situations a direct sale fits best, since it’s exactly what makes a facility harder to finance and slower to list.
Do you buy facilities with deferred maintenance?
Yes, as-is. Roofs, doors, paving, and fencing don’t have to be fixed before closing.
Will you buy a single facility, or only portfolios?
Either — a single facility or a small portfolio.
