We syndicate larger self-storage deals and work with passive investors. 

We like self-storage because even if there is a recession, and people downsize, those people will have a need for self-storage, as evidenced by storage occupancy rates during past recessions. And during inflationary times, our rental rates increase. We're also able to evaluate our rates, and keep pace with inflation, on a monthly and quarterly basis because of shorter term leases. 

These syndication can provide an 8%+ cash-on-cash return - providing investors monthly cash flow - and a 15-20% IRR over the length of the project. I'd be happy to connect.

Great post! Investing in a syndication or fund could be a good fit given your situation.

I started investing in some fix and flips and some smaller residential properties from traditional BRRRs. And I just quickly found out that I wanted something with a little more scale and a little more meat on the bone. So we went into the commercial space and pivoted to self-storage.

Hi Danya! Welcome to BP! Real estate is definitely full of opportunities. Personally, we pivoted to self-storage a few years ago. One of the drivers of self-storage is the “four Ds”: downsizing, displacement, death, and divorce. All of those things, unfortunately, increase during a recession, providing a safer base case for self-storage than some other assets. Storage occupancy rates during past recessions has remained relatively stable

For example, during a recession, when folks downsize from a 3 bed/1 bath to a 2 bed/1 bath, those people, historically, keep their belongings and put them in storage.

Also, during inflationary times, self-storage operators can better manage rates because most leases are month-to-month. We're thus able to evaluate our rates, and keep pace with inflation, on a monthly and quarterly basis. I’d be happy to connect.

Welcome to BP! I believe investing in a syndication or fund could be a good fit given your situation.

Pick solid operators and solid asset classes. We syndicate self-storage projects. Even if there is a crash, and people downsize, those people will have a need for self-storage, as evidenced by storage occupancy rates during past recessions.

And during inflationary times, our rental rates increase. We're also able to evaluate our rates, and keep pace with inflation, on a monthly and quarterly basis because of shorter term leases.

These syndication can provide an 8%+ cash-on-cash return - providing you monthly cash flow - and a 15-20% IRR over the length of the project. Feel free to reach out.

Hi Rajesh, we operate self storage facilities and this is true. Commercial real estate values, particularly in sector like self-storage is less prone to economic volatility, offering a more secure investment option.
In fact, certain real estate classes like self-storage outperformed during the Great Recession. From 2008 to 2012, the major publicly traded self-storage companies - CubeSmart, Public Storage, Extra Space Storage, and Life Storage - saw a brief share price decline in 2008 before soaring the following three years. Not only did commercial real estate assets like self-storage outperform the market during the Great Recession, they increased in value dramatically.

Now we syndicate self-storage projects. Even if there is a crash, and people downsize, those people will have a need for self-storage, as evidenced by storage occupancy rates during past recessions.

And during inflationary times, our rental rates increase. We're also able to evaluate our rates, and keep pace with inflation, on a monthly and quarterly basis because of shorter term leases.
