How to know what a storage facility is really worth before you make an offer, so you don't overpay.

Watch AJ value a real storage facility from start to finish, so you see the exact numbers he runs before he decides what it's worth.

The hard part is telling a good storage deal from a bad one.

You just watched AJ get to a number, so you already know you can do the math. The hard part is what comes after that, when the deal is your own and you have to be sure that this deal actually has some potential and isn't a massive red flag.

Being sure takes two things:

  1. It takes enough real storage deals in front of you to see how yours compares.
  2. It takes an experienced team that has bought and sold in this asset class to give you a second set of eyes before you take the next step.

The program

Self Storage Income puts AJ and his team on your deal.

Self Storage Income is a program that gives you the full operator's stack for buying storage: live deal analysis with AJ and his team, real deal flow, the SSI network behind you, and an optional path to partner on the purchase.

What you get inside

01

Live deal analysis

Deal analysis

You submit your underwriting for the facility you're looking at, and AJ and the SSI team review it live. It is a second set of eyes on the hidden upside or the red flags before you make the offer. After the training, underwriting that used to take hours takes minutes, so you come to that call ready.

02

Source deal flow

Deal flow

Members leverage our broker connections for real facilities to evaluate, both on-market deals and deals that never hit the open market. Some of the best buys are on-market facilities that have sat for months and can be had below asking, and our community sees them early.

03

Leverage the SSI connection

Network

Work with our lenders, debt brokers, and cost-segregation experts to get the most out of your property. Coming to them as part of SSI carries weight. You are treated with credibility and priority as a serious investor, not someone walking in off the street.

04

Operational partnership and co-management

Partnership

On the right deal, AJ and the SSI team can come in alongside you, and you have the opportunity to partner with them on the purchase.

You own your deal

Self Storage Income is not a broker. This is not just someone sending you deals. It is an entire ecosystem. Buy a deal on your own and SSI takes no cut. The role here is to make sure the facility you buy is the right one at the right price.

Charles, Self Storage Income member

Charles

$500k+ in value on one deal

Bought three properties after losing his home in a wildfire. His is now the only storage in town, valued at $3M. He ran each deal through the SSI valuation process before he bought.

Jingwen and Matthew, Self Storage Income members

Jingwen & Matthew

380 units via seller financing

Chose storage over rentals on a $1.19M purchase, and their W-2 income is now offset by the depreciation. SSI's underwriting helped give them the confidence to commit.

Sho, Self Storage Income member

Sho

3 facilities in under a year

Zero storage experience. Negotiated an on-market $2.9M facility down to $1.75M using the SSI valuation process.

Peter, Self Storage Income member

Peter

$189K below asking price

Took a $699K asking price down to $509,999 and bought his first facility for less than the price of a duplex in many markets. SSI helped him identify the real opportunity, so he could hold his line on price.

Caleb and Elizabeth, Self Storage Income members

Caleb & Elizabeth

First facility bought for $247,500

Cap rate went from 9.07% to 12.78%. Bought from mom-and-pop owners running paper slips, no website, no rent raises, after using SSI's underwriting training before committing.

Jacob Teel, Self Storage Income member

Jacob Teel

3 facilities within 5 months

Decided to shift into self storage and joined SSI to accelerate his growth into the asset class. He brought his family into the due diligence and operations, and used SSI's deal analysis to verify and confirm his read on the potential value and the red flags in his acquisitions.

Who built this

AJ has bought and sold over $400 million in storage.

AJ Osborne Active operator

Founder, Self Storage Income

AJ Osborne

AJ has 20 years of experience in the asset class and has bought through two recessions, which means he has valued facilities when the market was rising as well as when it was falling.

That is the experience sitting on the other side of the table when you bring your deal to the program.

When his team looks at your potential deals, the insight comes from having done it, at scale, through conditions most operators have never had to price.

And he is not teaching from the sidelines. AJ believes there has never been a better time to buy storage, and he is actively acquiring facilities himself right now.
