Self Storage Fund - Anyone worked with VanWest?

[Micki M.]

I received a proposal from VanWest Partners who are offering a syndication type fund for self storage properties. Other than their own website I'm struggling to find information on the company or partners. So I'm wondering if anyone here (especially in Denver where they are based) has worked with these guys or has thoughts on this type of investment?

I have several other apartment building syndications that have worked out wonderfully so I'm curious about branching out.

I can't comment on VanWest (looked at their site and I haven't met any of their folks) but if you're looking for a good Denver-based self storage syndicator, my experience with Spartan Investment Group has been excellent. Just a passive investor with them, I don't get any compensation or whatever by pointing anybody their direction.
