WHY SELF STORAGE
Three Reasons to Invest
28 Year Average Annual Returns of 18.83%
According to the NAREIT* the self storage asset class has achieved an average annual return of 18.83% over the past 28 years. Self Storage has outperformed Apartments (14.21%), Free Standing Retail (13.53%), Office (12.10%), and the S&P 500 (8.4%) over that same time period.
Downsize Protection
According to the NAREIT* in 2007-2009 Self Storage was down (-3.86%) versus Apartments (-6.72%), Retail (-12.32%), Office (-8.16%), and the S&P 500 (-21.10%). During 2020, the asset class outperformed all other asset classes except Data Centers. Self Storage was up 12.91% in 2020 despite the global pandemic.
Market Consolidation Opportunity
According to the 2021 Self Storage Almanac the public traded companies own less than 30% of the self storage market. There is a consolidation opportunity for Reliant to acquire facilities owned by mom-and-pop operators and generate revenue enhancements by deploying a professional management strategy.

PROJECTED INVESTMENT RETURNS
An investment of $100,000 is projected to return $172,000 - $190,000 to investor, including return of initial investment of $100,000.
LEVERS OF VALUE-ADD
Expansion of Facilities
We will build out additional square footage/units at select properties where we believe the market demand exceeds market supply of storage. Our goal is to create additional Net Operating Income (NOI) growth by getting the new units leased up to stabilization. The additional NOI will increase the value of the building all other things being equal. Additional NOI is always the goal in our value-add strategy.
Revenue Enhancements
Ancillary income opportunities including U-Haul truck rentals, tenant insurance, late fees, etc. are identified for each property and implemented by our on-site operational team. Revenue growth is a primary focus of our operational team and constantly monitored by internal audits and market studies.

Frequently Asked Questions
All distributions (and quarterly reports) are scheduled for 30-45 days after quarter end.
Yes, we have many investors who invest using qualified funds. If you need more information on how you can utilize these funds, let us know, and we can connect you with an industry expert to facilitate a rollover.
Your 9% preferred return starts to accumulate on the day your capital is deployed in a property closing. Our funding deadlines are set based on upcoming property closings.
There are no refinancing scenarios included in our projected returns. We will evaluate the potential of refinancing the properties once we reach stabilization. If we can refinance properties and receive proceeds, we would return that to investors first by returning the 9% preferred return and then 100% of the principal, or as much as proceeds allow.
Our accounting team schedules the delivery of the K-1 statements on or around March 15th.
This is a value-add fund meaning we are investing in various ways to make significant improvements to the properties in the fund. Therefore, cash flow is projected to be modest throughout the hold period and a large portion of the projected overall return is realized through equity appreciation at the time of sale or re-finance. We project a total return of 72-90% based on a 6-year hold period.
We have been fortunate to have great success in the past, however, we want to make sure we maintain reasonable expectations and factor in the inherent risk of the investment. We stand by the saying, “Under promise and over deliver” and that is reflected in both our past performance and current projections.
