Salvation through Self-Storage

Salvation through Self-Storage
Presented by Mark Ameerali and Andrew Leese

Mark Ameerali and Andrew Leese are the founders of Draftline Investments, a real estate investment company, and Sanctum Storage, a growing national self-storage brand with five locations. Sanctum Storage currently owns and operates five locations in Texas and Virginia.

They began investing in real estate separately during and after the Great Recession, initially flipping houses and gradually transitioning into multifamily investments. Both began transitioning into self-storage investments following the pandemic and formed a partnership in 2023, following an introduction by a mutual friend.

The following topics will be covered in their presentation:
 - Why self-storage?
 - The story of a deal lost (and how it saved them from financial ruin)
 - First acquisition case study
 - Remote management vs. on-site

Smart investors see self-storage as a cash cow providing passive income. Done right, it can provide asymmetric returns, but it’s anything but passive! Discover how professionals acquire and operate in this highly active asset class, navigating the challenges of tenants, trash, and auctions.
