Our Approach to Self-Storage Analysis:
Most underwriting and cash flow analysis tools are either overbuilt, confusing, or designed for institutional teams with time and staff to spare.
This self-storage analysis model cuts out the fluff and produces results that everyone in the industry expects when evaluating, financing, or negotiating self-storage investments.
No macros, no hidden logic, no institutional bloat. It’s one tab of clean inputs, instantaneous outputs, and an intuitive format that gets you to the numbers that move deals. Run many different scenarios in minutes, without hiring outside help or building your own spreadsheets.
A Practical, Operator-Focused Approach
The Self-Storage Analysis Model was created out of real underwriting work for actual acquisitions and stabilized storage assets. It’s designed to be clear, fast, accurate, and aligned with how storage properties actually operate.
The model even comes with a PDF guide overviewing assumptions, inputs, and outputs for those who want additional context. Most users simply open the model and begin underwriting immediately.
Don’t let unnecessarily complicated Excel models and industry jargon slow you down or prevent you from finding a deal. Keep It Simple, so you can get back to building wealth through self-storage investing.
