Hi Ray,

Thanks for reaching out on Eastgate Self Storage. Quick facts: 412 units and 49,300 net rentable SF on 6.8 acres, 91.5% occupied, offered at $4,450,000. That is a 7.0% cap on trailing twelve NOI.

The rent roll, T-12 and unit mix open in the data room once the confidentiality agreement is signed: sign here.

Three quick questions so Reese can follow up the right way:

  1. Are you buying in your own name or through a fund?
  2. Cash, debt or a 1031 exchange?
  3. If it fits, when would you want to close?

Reese Calloway is the listing broker, (806) 555-0118.

Best,
Caprock Investment Sales

Why it works. The four numbers a buyer screens on come in the first two lines. The CA gate protects the seller. The three questions tell Reese whether to call today or next week.

Hi Alex,

Happy to get you the package. Before we send it, can you register your client with us? A name and entity is enough, and it protects your side as much as ours. The confidentiality agreement is attached with a line for it.

Best,
Caprock Investment Sales

Why it works. Registration before the package keeps two brokers from claiming the same buyer later.

SubjectRE: Eastgate Self Storage, package request

Hi Tom,

Thanks for signing. Everything you asked for is in the data room:

  1. Unit mix and rent roll, current as of September 1. 412 units, 377 occupied.
  2. Occupancy history, 24 months by unit type. Physical occupancy has run 89% to 92%.
  3. T-12 through August: $486,500 of revenue and $311,300 of NOI.
  4. The undeveloped 1.9 acres on the north side are zoned for storage. No site plan has been filed and the seller has no plans for it.
  5. Environmental: a 2015 Phase I with no recognized environmental conditions. We have asked the seller whether anything newer exists and will send it if so.

Reese can walk you through the expansion pad on a call this week.

Best,
Caprock Investment Sales

Why it works. It answers every item in the order the buyer asked, quotes the figure rather than pointing at a file, and is plain about the one item still with the seller.

Thank you for your interest in Eastgate Self Storage. The property is now under contract, but we'd be happy to talk through a backup offer or similar opportunities. Reese Calloway can take your call or text at (806) 555-0118.

Why it works. It turns a dead lead into a backup buyer and keeps the name in the log.

The tour invite Reese gets

EventTour · Eastgate Self Storage · Gary Whitten CalendarWhen
Thursday, September 24, 10:00 to 10:45 am Central · meet at the office, 4410 E 50th St

Who he is. Local investor who owns the car wash on the adjoining parcel. Cash buyer. CA signed Tuesday.

What he asked. Whether the 1.9 acre pad can be split from the storage parcel, and what the drive-up units rent for against the climate units.

What to bring. Printed unit mix, the plat showing the pad, gate code for the back loop.

Watch for. He may want the pad alone. The seller has said the property sells whole.
