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.
What We Do
Our investment strategy focuses on identifying value add self-storage opportunities where we can enhance the value of these properties through strategic capital improvements, along with management and operational efficiencies. 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 buy within the first 12 to 24 months of ownership where we’ve doubled, and on a few occasions even tripled, the value of the facilities we’ve purchased.
