A letter to storage owners
Dear Friend,
If you’re reading this, chances are there’s a storage facility in your life — one you built over years, or inherited, or ended up responsible for. The early mornings. Tenant calls on weekends. Late payments, broken gates, hail damage, the occasional lien sale. Self storage has a thousand moving parts, and somebody’s kept them all turning. Maybe that somebody is you. Maybe not even by on purpose.
Whatever brought you here — retirement, exhaustion, inheritance, or simply wanting your capital in a different project, you are probably tired of a market or buyers that don’t value you what you have to the extent that you do. As is common in life, there are always nuances to every person’s situation that that can become obstacles to them reaching their goals in life. We are here with the care, patience, and respect to understand what these are and find the best solution to help you reach your goals.
What we hear from owners:
"I still want the income, but not the work."
Seller financing with interest-only payments can turn your facility into exactly that — a steady monthly check without managing anything. You keep earning from what you built, while we handle the operation: collections, maintenance, staff, all of it.
"I don't want to hand this to a corporation."
We're not one. We're a family- and veteran-owned company, and you'll deal with actual people — the ones making the decisions, signing the documents, and still answering the phone years later.
"I need this to be tax-smart."
An installment sale can spread your capital gains over many years instead of one painful April. We'll work with your CPA to structure the deal around your tax situation, not ours.
"Life happened. I need to move — fast."
We can move quickly, but never carelessly. When you're facing a life event, you need one honest counterpart, not a maze of committees. We'll tell you plainly what we can do, and then do it.
"I never wanted to be a landlord at all."
Inherited facilities are our specialty. You shouldn't have to become an expert in storage to unwind one responsibly. We'll explain what you own, what it's worth, and what your options are — in plain language, with zero obligation.
What we can promise is simple: while a facility is ours, we pour into it. Better systems, better maintenance, better curb appeal, better online presence. The years you put in deserve that — and so do the tenants who store their keepsakes there.
We move fast but we are not in a hurry. If you are ready to sell today, then so are we. If that time may be many years away, that works too. We would still love to have a conversation to connect and hear your story. We’re not the right buyers for everyone, but we would love to see if we are for you!
Warmly,
Refael Claypole
