We are always humbled to have the opportunity to volunteer at Craig Hospital. Being around Craig patients and team members is inspiring and always leaves us wanting to do more. Last night, the VanWest team was able to join in for Family Dinner night, an evening in which Craig residents and their families can come together for a shared meal. Thank you, as always, Craig Hospital, Serena R. Bruzgo, Sydney Zeman and team for having us! Learn more or support Craig Hospital Foundation: https://lnkd.in/gi9-4MKU

During our live webinar last week, we provided an overview of our upcoming self storage investment opportunities, including our new acquisition in the rapidly growing Bentonville, Arkansas market. We also provided updates on due diligence and anticipated closing dates for three other exciting opportunities in our pipeline, including: ➡️ Las Vegas acquisition, scheduled to close in late October  ➡️ Dacula, GA acquisition, scheduled to close in early November  ➡️ ClearHome Self Storage - Jacksonville, FL project, where we are building a 28,000 SF expansion If you'd like to learn more about joining as an investor in one or more of these exciting opportunities, please let us know: https://lnkd.in/gCKQEKr5

Jacob Vanderslice recently chatted with Mat Zalk on the Same Day Podcast about how to maximize returns in the self storage real estate market, as well as his take on the secrets behind successful investments. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/g2kPkyHN

VanWest Partners is excited to announce another attractive investment opportunity: ClearHome Self Storage - Arville. Located two miles from the bustling Las Vegas strip, this 2021 Class A facility includes over 36,000 NRSF of climate-controlled, ground floor and elevator-accessed self storage units.   Despite being one of the highest quality facilities in the submarket, the facility has suffered from inefficient revenue management and heavy historic operating expenses, creating an opportunity to increase cash flow in year one by reducing operating expenses and increasing unit occupancy.   Join us on Thursday at 1:00pm MDT for a live webinar to learn more about this acquisition. We'll take a deep dive into financial assumptions and investor return targets, along with a detailed overview on the Las Vegas self storage investment landscape.      Can't attend live? Register for the webinar and you'll automatically receive a recorded version after the presentation. 

Principal Jacob Vanderslice was a recent guest on The Foundery - Where Leaders are Forged Daily! podcast to share more about his journey within the self storage industry, as well as navigating the current economy and a comparative analysis of real estate investment opportunities.

VanWest Partners is thrilled to offer investors two opportunities to participate in value-add self storage investments, both of which are located in high-growth markets with attractive, risk-adjusted investor return targets.   - Investment Offering #1: Jacksonville, FL Property Expansion Project overview: Built in 2021, the current self storage facility is 40,000 net rentable square feet. The planned expansion will add over 28,000 net rentable square feet. Architectural, structural, and metal building drawings have been completed and we are about to submit to the city for building permit review. We expect to mobilize construction crews by the end of September and we're targeting a completion date of early May of next year. Nine miles from downtown Jacksonville, the facility is in a prime location with frontage along Firestone Road. The five-mile population is approximately 190,000 people with average household incomes of $70,000.  Since closing, we have decreased our 120+ day delinquency rate by over 23%, and we've increased our monthly revenue by nearly 7% as we implement existing customer rent increases and ancillary income streams, including late fees and tenant insurance. 92% of our existing customer base has purchased our tenant insurance plan, generating an additional $40,400 per year in annualized top line revenue. - Investment Offering #2: Dacula, GA (Atlanta MSA) Acquisition Project overview: Built in 2016 with an expansion completed in 2024, the acquisition is 86,470 square feet of self storage and parking 486 self storage and parking units. Located in the high growth Atlanta MSA, the facility is in a prime location with frontage along a major thoroughfare. Undersupplied submarket with limited self storage competition. Customers cannot currently lease a unit online and the seller runs the facility from his cell phone, creating an opportunity for immediate value creation by increasing rents, advertising, and implementing ancillary income streams Get in touch to learn more details about these investment opportunities! https://lnkd.in/g8aMkAuS

Jacob Vanderslice recently had the pleasure of joining Roger Becker on Street Smart Success, a podcast showcasing the success of real estate entrepreneurs. During their conversation, they talk about self storage and what makes it a great business (spoiler alert: high operating margins and sticky customers.) Tune in below! https://lnkd.in/gbDqXu5i

Join us on Thursday at 1:00 PM MDT to learn about our upcoming acquisition located in Dacula, GA, as well as the opportunity to participate in the second round of funding for a planned expansion project at our recently acquired property in Jacksonville, FL. We'll take a deep dive into both assets, including detailed submarket overviews, revenue and expense projections, and investor return targets.

ClearHome Self Storage - Longmont Update! 🚀 We're excited to share a post-opening update about our recent development project in Longmont, CO, which opened for leasing last December. The team has been diligently working to enhance our services and provide exceptional value to our customers. Shortly after opening our doors, we introduced U-Haul Rentals as an additional revenue stream, and the results have been visible. Our store has generated additional monthly revenue 4x our initial forecasts. This not only boosts our revenue but also serves as a powerful free marketing resource, attracting new customers to our facility. Moreover, the demand for our storage parking is incredibly high, with unit occupancy reaching 100% in Q2! This strong demand has enabled us to increase our asking rates by 10-15% above the standard market rate. A huge congratulations to the ClearHome Self Storage - Longmont team for your hard work and success! 📷 Photo credit: MKM Build Photography #SelfStorage #RealEstate #BusinessGrowth #CustomerSuccess
