Your AI partner

We help storage operators grow NOI — and the value of every facility they own.

As your Operational AI partner, we find the opportunities worth pursuing, implement the right tools, train your team, and keep improving as the market moves.

The opportunity

Every dollar of NOI you add is worth
about $14 when you sell.

Storage is priced off NOI. Lift income by a dollar and you don't gain a dollar — you gain roughly fourteen in what the facility is worth. Which is why how a facility is run matters more here than in almost any other asset class.

$14

Of value per $1 of NOI

What every dollar of added annual NOI is worth at a 7% cap rate. At institutional cap rates, closer to $17.

15–30%

NOI lift available

The gain on an under-managed facility from rates, occupancy, fees, and cost discipline — before a dollar of capex.

Put it in dollars: $2,500 more NOI a month is $30,000 a year — and roughly $430,000 in facility value.

Cap rates per Cushman & Wakefield, U.S. Self Storage Market Trends & Sector Outlook, H1 2025 — 5.8% blended average, 5.5–6.5% Class B; secondary-market assets typically price wider. Value effect shown at a 7% cap.

The challenge

The NOI is there.
Capturing it is the hard part.

Nothing about this is a lack of effort. Four things stand between a well-located facility and what it should be earning.

01
Capacity

One or two people run the entire operation.

Between move-ins, calls, delinquencies, and maintenance, there's no spare week to audit rates or evaluate software.

02
The gap with the big operators

They run this as a science.

The REITs price algorithmically, raise existing-tenant rates on a modeled schedule, and manage facilities remotely. The difference isn't talent — it's systems.

3.4%Public Storage's on-site payroll as a share of revenue — independents commonly run three to four times that
03
Clarity

The vendor landscape is crowded and hard to read.

Management software, call centers, dynamic pricing, access control, AI agents — competing claims, opaque pricing, and no neutral party helping you choose.

04
Pace

What's true today won't be true in six months.

Staying current is a standing commitment, not a one-time decision. Tools that led the category a year ago have already been passed.

You don't need to become a technologist. You need a partner who knows AI and knows how storage actually runs.

The solution

Avanti becomes your AI partner.

One accountable partner who knows both AI and how a storage facility actually runs — handling the evaluation, the build, the training, and the follow-through, so your team doesn't have to. Here's the path.

01

Assess

We review your rates against the competitive set, your occupancy, delinquencies, expenses, and current systems — then rank the opportunities by return.

02

Recommend

A clear plan with the NOI we're moving, the tools we'd use, and what it costs. Product-agnostic, always.

03

Implement

We manage the vendors, rebuild the workflow, launch, and train your team until it's genuinely in use.

04

Measure & improve

NOI tracked against your baseline every month, and your roadmap updated as the market and the tools move.

Why us? We are certified AI experts — and have owned and operated storage units for 30+ years. Every solution we recommend has been used and tested in our own storage units.

Where it pays off

Every recommendation ties back
to one of three numbers.

Revenue, cost, and what the facility is worth. If a project doesn't move one of them, we don't recommend it.
