Acquisitions Criteria

What We Evaluate and Why It Matters to Owners

These criteria help Georgia self-storage owners get clearer underwriting, faster decisions, and fewer pricing surprises later in the process.

Deal Size 50,000-120,000 NRSF Creates clear comps and supports confident underwriting early.
Geographic Focus Georgia outside Atlanta core Local operating context improves speed and decision quality.
Occupancy Range 65%-90% Supports realistic upside assumptions without aggressive projections.
Year Built 5-15+ years Balances durability with practical near-term improvement potential.
Expansion Opportunity Preferred Adds optional long-term value where demand and zoning support it.
Deal Type On-market and off-market Off-market paths often protect privacy and reduce process friction.

Submission Requirements

  • Facility location and current high-level operating snapshot.
  • Unit mix and occupancy trend, if known.
  • Trailing 12-month NOI if available.
  • Asking price or target value, if you have one.

Review Workflow

We outline assumptions early and flag key diligence items in sequence so sellers can evaluate certainty before committing additional time.

Common Owner Questions

This is my retirement.

Your facility has real value. We help owners evaluate diversification without pressure.

I don’t want broker fees.

We are a direct buyer. No listing, no marketing, no commissions.

I’ve heard buyers retrade.

Our underwriting is disciplined upfront so we do not need to renegotiate later.

I’m not ready yet.

That’s fine. Many owners start with a valuation conversation 1–3 years before selling.

What happens after closing?

We plan the transition to minimize disruption. Timing, tenant communication, and operational handoff are coordinated so the change is smooth and private.
