TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

TRACK RECORD

Twenty-nine years before the first storage deal

We have been buying, renovating, renting, and selling Alberta residential real estate since 1997. Roughly 18 properties across Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Sylvan Lake, and St Paul.

Every deal was funded with our own capital. No syndication, no joint-venture partners, no outside money in twenty-nine years.

That is the shortest honest summary of who you would be partnering with.

What we actually did

We operated, we did not speculate. Our first property in 1997 was a house with a rental suite. We lived upstairs and the tenant paid the mortgage. Everything since has followed the same logic: acquire at a basis that works, improve what can be improved, and hold or exit on our own timing rather than the market's.

We built the systems ourselves. MyHome2Go ran furnished corporate rentals in Edmonton before short-term rental platforms existed. We built an online application system and pre-approved tenants remotely, which turned a two-hour drive into a single trip at key handover. RedDeerCondoRentals ran on a web-form move-in and move-out inspection system with tenant-captured documentation and dual-signed records. At peak we operated eight rental doors across three cities with no staff.

We changed the model when the model was the problem. We moved out of suited houses and into condominiums so that maintenance ran through professional condominium management rather than a personal trades roster. That single decision is what made a multi-city portfolio operable by two people.

We used the structure the deal needed. Vendor take-back financing. Contract assignment. Foreclosure acquisition after the 2008 correction. A simultaneous close in 2025 that moved capital between properties with no cash outlay.

We exited on purpose. Between 2021 and 2025 we wound the residential portfolio down deliberately, property by property, with self-storage as the destination. The last residential unit is currently listed.

Recent

Ponoka, 2025. Contract assignment.

Red Deer, 2024 to 2025. Acquisition, renovation, and resale, managed directly, with 17 trades, services, and professionals coordinated through completion.

Where we are now

We are searching for our first self-storage acquisition, and we are saying that plainly rather than dressing up a residential record as a storage record.

We completed the Savvy Investor joint venture master class in 2025 and the Scott Meyers self-storage bootcamp in Phoenix in January 2026. We are members of the Investors Growth Syndicate, a national network of investors and industry professionals that gives us deal flow, access to lenders and brokers, and people to pressure-test underwriting with before we commit. We are actively evaluating properties and we are not in a hurry. The asset class has been on our list for years. We would rather wait for the right basis than manufacture a deal to justify a launch.

What transfers is not the asset class. It is 29 years of underwriting with our own money and operating remotely without staff, which is precisely the discipline self-storage rewards.

ON CAPITAL

Why we are taking partners now

We funded every deal ourselves for twenty-nine years. No syndication, no partners, no outside capital.

That discipline shaped how we underwrite. When the money is yours, the margin has to be real, and you do not talk yourself into a deal because someone else is carrying the downside.

It also capped us. Eight doors is what two people can buy out of their own pocket. Self-storage at a scale worth operating is not.

So we are opening the door to a small group of aligned capital partners, and we are being deliberate about who. We intend to hold these assets through multiple market cycles, which means the partnership matters more than the round. If you would rather flip in three years, we are the wrong operators for you, and it is better for both of us to know that now.

We put our own capital in alongside yours. That has not changed and it is not going to.
