The asset is currently operating below its full potential, with occupancy levels and achieved rental rates significantly under market benchmarks, creating a clear path to drive revenue through lease-up and the implementation of professional management practices. The property features a functional unit mix designed to accommodate a wide range of tenant needs, along with additional ancillary income streams including tenant insurance, retail sales, U-Haul, and administrative fees. With in-place rents below comparable properties and an expense structure that can be streamlined, investors are well-positioned to materially increase net operating income and overall asset value through a focused repositioning strategy.

Before you call the broker
8 things are not disclosed on this listing. These are the questions that would close the gap — specific to a storage facility, not a generic list.
Net operating income — not disclosed
What is the trailing twelve-month NOI, and what does it include and exclude?
The single number a lender will size debt against. Ask what is excluded — management fees and reserves are the usual omissions.
What period the financials cover — not disclosed
Are these figures trailing twelve months, last calendar year, or projected?
A projected stabilised NOI and a current operating NOI can differ by a third, and both get called "NOI".
Gross income and operating expenses — not disclosed
Can you share a trailing twelve-month profit and loss, with the expense lines itemised?
NOI alone hides whether income is high or expenses are being under-reported. The split is what you underwrite.
Reason for sale — not disclosed
Why is the owner selling, and how long have they held it?
Never published on a listing, always worth knowing. Retirement and a looming capital bill are very different situations.
Physical vs economic occupancy — not disclosed
What is physical occupancy, and what is economic occupancy?
A facility can be 92% full and still be collecting far less, through concessions and delinquency. Physical occupancy alone flatters the deal.
Climate-controlled share — not disclosed
How many units are climate-controlled, and what is the rate premium?
Climate-controlled space earns more per square foot and costs more to run. The mix changes both sides of the model.
Expansion land and entitlements — not disclosed
Is there expansion land, and has anything been entitled or permitted?
Often the whole thesis in storage. Also the difference between a plan and a permit.
How it is managed today — not disclosed
Is this staffed, remotely managed or unmanned, and does a management contract transfer?
Decides whether the expense line you are shown survives the sale.
Asking price — disclosed
Currency of the asking price — disclosed
Unit mix and rent roll — disclosed
