How Private Equity Is Buying Up Self-Storage Facilities

Private equity has been quietly consolidating the self-storage industry for years, but the pace has accelerated dramatically since 2023. In this episode of The Buyout Show with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down the economics behind the roll-up—why storage is recession-proof, how operators are driving revenue through technology and dynamic pricing, and what the rise of climate-controlled, multi-story facilities means for smaller independent owners. They focus on one deal: the 2024 acquisition of a 35-property portfolio in the Sun Belt by a mid-market PE firm, and what the purchase multiple tells us about the market today. #PrivateEquity #SelfStorage #RollUps #BusinessAcquisitions #MergersAndAcquisitions #RealEstate #PEInvesting #StorageConsolidation #SunBelt #DynamicPricing #RevenueManagement #ClimateControlled #MidMarketPE #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheBuyoutShow Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
