Self-storage facilities are typically valued using a capitalization rate (cap rate) applied to net operating income (NOI). Cap rates in tertiary markets generally range from 6–9%, depending on occupancy, location, and physical condition. We look beyond a single metric — our offers account for upside potential, not just current performance.

Value depends on your net operating income, local market conditions, occupancy rate, unit mix, and physical condition of the property. A 50,000 sq ft facility at 75% occupancy in a rural Colorado town will be valued differently than the same facility at 90% in a suburb. We offer free, no-obligation valuations — reach out and we'll walk you through it.

Yes — but lower occupancy isn't always a dealbreaker. We specifically look for facilities running below 80% occupancy because we see the upside. A sub-optimal occupancy rate can actually translate to a faster negotiation if the physical asset and market fundamentals are strong.

We offer competitive, market-supported prices based on a transparent underwriting process. We're not lowball buyers — we build long-term returns through operational improvements, not by acquiring distressed assets at steep discounts. We'll show you how we arrived at our number.
