THE OPPORTUNITY

The Storage Revolution
The annual self storage revenue in the United States is $38,000,000,000. 172,000 people are employed by storage unit companies in the United States. And 8.96% of U.S. households currently rent a self-storage unit.
Automated Storage is disrupting the self storage industry by automating operations and providing world class customer service.
 A $38B Industry
The Self Storage Industry is currently being transformed by  innovation, disruption, and technology. Automated Storage is leading the category in technology, convenience, and service, making it well positioned to increase its overall dominance.
 Eliminating Overhead
Automated Storage's processes and storage-optimized technology eliminates the need for an on-site manager.  Saving storage facilities $30,000+ a year and $300,000+ over 10 years.

HOW IT WORKS

1.   

 We Buy Mismanaged Self Storage Businesses
Automated Storage finds the deals, negotiates the purchase and financing, and closes the deal.

What specifically do we look for?

- No Google Business listing
- Cashflow day 1
- Rates below market
- No mobile friendly website
- Employed onsite manager
- No software
- No call center

2.   

 You Invest
Accredited & Non-Accredited Investors become partners in the actual real estate.
 
In other words, if you invest today, you'll have equity in the same exact self storage businesses that we do. 

You will have ownership and will be paid accordingly.

3.   

We Deploy Automation
The second we close on a self storage business, we deploy these 6 things...

Management Software - It’s What We Use For Payments, Rentals, Refunds, Transfers, Move-Outs, Welcome Messages, Receipts, Lease Agreements, Rent Rates, Autopay, And So Much More…

Website - A Simple Website That Gives Customers Everything They Need To Know About Our Business. (It’s Like Having Our Best Salesman Work 24/7/365). 

See example here: automated-storage.com/meigs

Call Center - Our In-House Call Center Agents Answer Calls From 8a-10p, 7 Days A Week. They Process Payments, Move-Ins, Move-Outs, Transfers, Lead Follow-up, Delinquent Calls, General Storage Support, And Anything Else Needed To Help Operate Our Self Storage Businesses.

Onsite Signage - Simple, Straightforward Signage To Ensure Drive-up Customers Are Instantly Aware Of How To Do Business With Us And How To Get In Touch.

Access Control - Our In-House Cellular Keypad & Access Control System Gives Self Storage Businesses The Ability To Monitor and Control Access From Anywhere. 

Field Rep - Visits Facility 1-3 Times Per Week And Responsible For A Number Of Things:

- Ensure The Website Is Accurate.
- Ensure The Management Software Is Accurate.
- Manage Overlocks .
- Gets Vacant Units Ready For Rent
- Maintains A High Level Of Communication With Our Team
- Plus Anything Else That Needs To Be Done At The Property...

Once the 6 things above are setup, we can effectively operate self storage businesses at a very low cost.

4.   

We Operate The Business & Pay Out Monthly Cash Distributions Until We Sell For A Significant Profit
Because we buy self storage businesses that cashflow month 1, you get paid month 1.

In other words, the first month we own the self storage business, it's going to make enough money to cover all expenses, pay down the debt, and still have money for you to take home.

We will continue to operate the business and add as much value as possible. Every unit we rent, will increase your monthly cash distribution and will increase the value of the self storage business.

When we sell it, it'll be for more than we bought it for and you'll get your entire investment back plus a share of the profits. :)
