Real Estate Analyst – Self-Storage Underwriting
I’m an active self-storage owner/operator with a growing portfolio and a steady pipeline of new acquisition opportunities. I’m looking for a sharp Real Estate Analyst with self-storage experience to help underwrite deals as they come in. This is ongoing work, not a one-off task. When a new opportunity hits my inbox, I need someone who can quickly and accurately evaluate whether the deal makes sense. What You’ll Be Responsible For Each time a new self-storage opportunity comes in, you’ll be expected to: Build or update a full underwriting model (NO generic assumptions) Analyze: Current rent roll & occupancy In-place vs market rents Expense assumptions Debt scenarios (LTV, DSCR, amortization, interest rate sensitivity) Conduct market & competitor analysis, including: Identifying nearby competing storage facilities Comparing unit mix, pricing, occupancy, and quality Identifying upside opportunities (rent increases, expansion, revenue add-ons) Provide a clear summary of: Deal strengths & risks Upside potential Red flags Whether the deal makes sense at the asking price I don’t need a 50-page report — I need clear, decision-driving analysis.
