Gray Wolf Investing was founded by Craig Hansen. After two decades of investing in various business ventures such as gym franchises, cell phone franchises, gas stations, and trampoline park franchises, Craig has taken this knowledge and experience and pivoted into the real estate industry with a strategic focus on self-storage facilities, RV park campgrounds, and other commercial real estate assets.
What We Do
Our investment strategy focuses on identifying value add commercial real estate opportunities where we can enhance the value of these properties through strategic capital improvements and with management. We carefully analyze each opportunity to ensure we’re investing in properties that will provide us maximum returns, and thus we prefer to buy facilities that are either brand new and completely mismanaged, or purchase facilities where significant deferred maintenance is present that we can improve upon, and where automation can be added to increase operational and management efficiencies to reduce monthly expenses. We also strongly prefer to buy facilities that includes additional land for future expansion potential.
With our expertise and experience in the self-storage industry, our goal is to greatly increase the value of the properties we acquire. It’s not unusual for us to double, and sometimes even triple, the value within the first 24 to 36 months under our ownership.
