Built for serious acquisition intent

Is SSI the right next step for you?

SSI is built for investors ready to do the work of evaluating and acquiring a facility they will own. It is not for passive investors waiting for someone else to hand them a deal.

✓

A strong fit if you…

  • Already own rental properties, operate a business, or both.
  • Have deployable acquisition capital.
  • Want to acquire within three to six months.
  • Want a clear buy box and repeatable evaluation process.
  • Are prepared to participate actively in acquisition and ownership.
×

Probably not the right fit yet if you…

  • Are still deciding whether self storage is right for you.
  • Want someone to find and sell you a facility.
  • Want a passive syndication.
  • Do not have deployable capital or a timeline.
  • Expect AJ, Britt, or SSI to automatically invest or partner in your deal.
