Toy storage is one of the fastest-growing segments of the storage industry. From RVs and boats to classic cars and recreational gear, consumer demand is surging. Yet, many promising projects never get built—not because the market isn’t there, but because the financials don’t pass investor and lender scrutiny.
That’s where DealPro™ from S3 Partners comes in.
Why Projects Stall Before They Start
Even experienced developers underestimate the rigor banks and equity groups require before they release capital. Deals can stall for several reasons:
- Proformas lack documented assumptions or third-party comps.
- Budgets miss key soft costs, creating gaps lenders won’t overlook.
- Capital stacks aren’t structured to balance risk and return.
- Early feasibility and downside stress tests are skipped.
In short: if the numbers aren’t rock-solid, the project won’t move forward.
What DealPro™ Delivers
DealPro provides institutional-grade financial modeling specifically built for storage—including toy storage projects, which have unique land, zoning and revenue characteristics compared to traditional self storage.
- Build accurate line-item budgets that capture both hard and soft costs.
- Create proformas lenders trust, with comps, draw schedules and clear NOI projections.
- Show coverage and upside by modeling DSCR for banks and IRR for equity partners.
- Validate feasibility with third-party studies and zoning assessments.
- Deliver investor-ready packages—executive summaries, visuals and capital stack diagrams that align perfectly with the numbers.
Why Developers Need It:
- 70% of storage projects that fail never make it past financing.
