💥 “From $7.3M to $15.8M in 24 Months: The Capital Stack That Turns One Deal Into a Portfolio Empire” 💥

“Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.” – Arnold H. Glasow

By Global Empowerment Leadership (GEL) in collaboration with Skyline Property Advisors, LLC

Executive Summary

Self-storage expansions are wealth accelerators—but most investors leave 300–400 bps of IRR on the table because they finance like it’s 2010.

This practitioner-grade analysis stress-tests three capital stacks on a real $7.3M Central Florida deal:

  • Option A: All-cash buy + construction loan → safest, most flexible
  • Option B: Bridge-to-perm → highest IRR, refinance adrenaline
  • Option C: Preferred equity waterfall → lowest equity in, scale like an institution

Key Finding: Structure alone swings IRR 15.8% → 19.2% and lets $10M equity control $16M vs. $52M in assets.

Your move: Pick the stack that matches your risk appetite, capital, and exit horizon—then execute like a Navy SEAL.

🔥 THE OPPORTUNITY: $7.3M → $14.6M–$16M in 24 Months

  • Acquire: 45K SF, 80% occupied, $320K NOI @ $3.5M (6.9% cap)
  • Expand: 20K SF climate-controlled @ $3.8M ($170/SF hard)
  • Stabilized NOI: $915K midpoint → $14.64M exit @ 6.25% cap

Value Levers:

  1. Rate optimization (+$168K NOI)
  2. Ops tech + marketing (+$125K NOI)
  3. New units (+$217K NOI)
  4. Scale premium (+$50K NOI)

🛠️ OPTION A: ALL-CASH + CONSTRUCTION LOAN
