Services / Sell Your Self-Storage Facility
Sell your storage facility to a buyer who reads the rent roll.
RockHaven Capital buys self-storage facilities directly from their owners.
Occupancy and the rent roll are the business here. Both get read before anyone talks about the land.
Who We Buy From
The storage facilities we buy
A storage facility is an operating business sitting on real estate. We price the operation and the property together, with each part shown on its own.
Our range fits larger facilities and multi-site local groups. A single small site usually sits below the revenue range we buy in.
Traditional drive-up facilities
Exterior units rented to households and small businesses. Steady occupancy across seasons is the main sign here.
Climate-controlled facilities
Interior units that rent at higher rates. These facilities draw longer stays and different tenants.
Boat and RV storage
Oversized parking and covered storage for vehicles. Limited local supply often keeps these yards full.
Mixed facilities with warehouse space
Storage combined with small warehouse or contractor bays. The mix can steady income across tenant types.

Five things we check first
A facility proves its cash flow through its rent roll and its bank deposits. These five checks show us whether both agree with each other.
-
Revenue of $1M to $10M a year
Facilities in that band are our market. A facility in that range is a substantial property with a real tenant base.
-
Cash flow of $300K and up
The tax returns have to prove it. Rent collections should tie to deposits without unexplained gaps.
-
Occupancy that holds across seasons
Tenants who stay for years are the recurring revenue of this business. We look at occupancy and length of stay across several years.
-
The real estate under the facility
Owned land prices differently from a ground lease with years running out. We read the deed or the lease early so the structure fits the facts.
-
Management that runs without you daily
A site manager or a remote management setup should handle rentals and collections. Facilities that run themselves price above facilities that need the owner.

Why Owners Talk To Us
A direct buyer changes the conversation
Storage owners usually hear from national operators and listing brokers first. Here is how a direct sale differs.
-
We are the buyer, not a broker
You talk to the firm that would own your facility. Your rent roll is not circulated during a public marketing process.
One conversation with the buyer, not a parade of strangers through your business. -
Your manager keeps the office
Tenants rent from a person they trust at the counter. In most cases your manager stays in place after a sale.
In most cases, the people who helped you build it keep their jobs. -
Rent roll priced on real collections
We price what tenants actually pay rather than the street rates on the sign. Actual collections are the number that matters.
A straight number early, with the reason behind it. -
Land and business shown separately
We show the property value and the operating value as distinct lines. You can see exactly what each part contributes.
Each part priced on its own, in the open.
The listed route, by the numbers
Listing a facility tells every operator in the region your occupancy and your rates. The figures below show the usual cost of going to market.
