Whether it’s self storage or another real estate asset class, we always hear the importance of being able to get a potential investment property “under contract”. But what exactly does this mean, what exactly do you need, and how exactly do you get this done?

These are all great questions and questions that you need answers to as an investor. The last thing you want is to have an amazing self storage investing opportunity come your way, but then not have the tools and resources ready to go to actually execute on that great deal.

So then, what do we need?

Enter your Letter of Intent. The letter of intent or what is commonly referred to as an LOI, is the document that you’re going to need to actually get a storage facility (or any investment property) “under contract”. There may be times when you go straight to a Purchase and Sale Agreement (or PSA) without doing an LOI first, but generally speaking, that LOI is going to be the first rough run-down of the terms you’re setting for yourself and the seller.

To cover this topic in depth, we’re bringing on our very own, Brian Mullally, Head of Acquisitions for our firm Cedar Creek.

Brian brings a ton of knowledge and experience and has the answers to many of the questions you’re asking about the LOI, and the process as a whole of getting a storage facility under contract to purchase.

Get ready to take notes, soak up all the value here, and be able to go out and secure your storage facilities like a pro.

Thanks everybody!
