Understand whether a self-storage deal truly works. Analyze pricing, financing, and projected returns across scenarios. Our structured Excel model is designed specifically for self-storage investors.
Use our Debt Calculator to quickly test self-storage loan feasibility across scenarios.
Use your own numbers. Run unlimited scenarios.
This Excel analysis model was built specifically for self-storage investments. Plug in your own assumptions and see how rent, occupancy, expenses, financing, and exit pricing impact returns across scenarios, without building new spreadsheets for every deal.
This model helps you:
Analyze self-storage opportunities using unit mix, monthly rates, occupancy, and expense assumptions
Test cap rate, interest rate, and rent growth sensitivity
Evaluate DSCR and debt yield across financing scenarios
View monthly and annual cash flow, IRR, and equity multiple
Know what you can afford before making an offer
Not a Course. Not a Subscription. Not a Coaching Program.
You only need to know a few critical numbers in a self-storage investment to make everything else fall into place. So, that’s what we focused on.
It’s underwriting and cash flow modeling made simple and repeatable!
Avoid costly mistakes, save money on consultants, and walk into negotiations knowing the critical numbers from every scenario you can think up.

Then this is designed for you! All input fields are clearly labeled (blue), outputs are locked (black), and the accompanying guide walks you through each section—no advanced Excel skills needed. All inputs are located on a single tab.

Then this will feel refreshingly efficient. The model isn’t trying to be a 1,000-input institutional tool. It’s designed so that the actual levers that move self-storage valuations and investor returns are the focus. Experienced users usually end up adopting this as their day-to-day underwriting model because it’s faster to use, easier to explain to partners, and simple to iterate when assumptions change. If you’re underwriting regularly, the time savings alone covers the cost almost immediately.

Minor updates and patches are free for existing customers. Just submit your prior purchase details through the Support page and you’ll receive the latest version. Major upgrades (e.g., v1 → v2) are treated as new products and will require a new purchase.
-
The model is intentionally simple and intuitive to level the playing field between Excel wizards and beginners. Most people are underwriting deals within 15–30 minutes. The guide is always available for you to reference.
-
Not in this version. This model calculates total deal returns (levered and unlevered). A future package will include GP/LP waterfalls, preferred return structures, and promote tiers. So stay tuned!
-
In general, yes. It is intended for investors analyzing and underwriting potential acquisitions, or evaluating the performance and modeling the exit scenarios of their existing assets. Future models will include these components. However, it would be a great model for the business’ performance after the opening of a new self-storage facility.
-
Yes. The layout is clean and professional. Many users share the summary outputs directly when discussing deals with lenders, brokers, partners, and LPs.
-
The guide provides definitions of the model’s inputs, how those inputs impact the cash flows and returns, and what’s considered reasonable or industry standard when it comes to multifamily investment analysis.
Don’t spend hundreds on institution-level models that are unwieldy and have more inputs than you’ll ever need. And definitely don’t spend thousands on courses or coaching.
For one flat price, you’ll receive a plug-and-play cash flow model and handy walkthrough guide, designed for intuitive use by anyone. Find out more here, or check out the YouTube channel for walkthroughs!
