Join your host, Daniel Nickles, and guest, Ryan Gibson, president, CIO, and co-founder of SIC, as they talk about the asset class that can withstand recession and inflation. As a former pilot, Ryan is risk-averse, knowing people could die when he makes even one mistake. He applied this trait when he and his neighbor decided to start a commercial estate development business. They looked for an asset class with capital preservation and found self-storage the stand out among asset classes. In addition, the performance of self-storage over the past four downturns in GDP keeps going up in terms of occupancy and construction. It even took off during the COVID-19 pandemic. So if you want to learn more about self-storage, tune in and enjoy!
Outline of the episode:
- Self-storage and why did he focus on that
- Why is self-storage so prevalent in the United States
- What is the three F model at Spartan
- What are some key things to look for when evaluating self-storage deals?
- Financial Underwriting for self-storage
