INVESTMENT CRITERIA
Assets Where Operations Can Create Value.
Iron Gate Equity evaluates income-producing real estate with durable demand, a sound acquisition basis, and practical opportunities to improve performance through disciplined ownership.
WHERE WE FOCUS
Focused Criteria. Flexible Thinking.
Self-Storage
Primary Strategy. Class B and C facilities, including climate-controlled, non-climate-controlled, and RV or boat storage. Typical size range 15,000 to 60,000 net rentable square feet. Favor value-add opportunities with durable demand, operational improvement potential, and a clear path to stronger occupancy or revenue management.
Multifamily
Selective Strategy. Established Class B and C communities, generally 50 units or more, with durable local housing demand, a reliable operating history, and a disciplined acquisition basis. We favor opportunities where stronger management, expense control, resident experience, and targeted capital improvements can create value without relying on speculative appreciation.
Select Real Assets
Opportunistic. Other income-producing real assets may be considered when demand is durable, execution is controllable, and the risk profile fits the firm.
The Asset Before the Story.
Current Cash Flow: Existing income and expense performance.
Acquisition Basis: Entry price relative to current economics.
Debt Coverage: Capacity to service financing through varied conditions.
Capital Needs: Clear requirements for repairs, improvements, and reserves.
Market Fundamentals: Demand drivers, supply, and local operating context.
Operational Opportunity: Practical levers for stronger service, occupancy, revenue, and efficiency.
TARGET MARKETS
We evaluate opportunities in Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. These are markets we evaluate, not a statement of current ownership or operations. We favor communities with stable or growing populations, durable demand drivers, and a practical operating footprint.

What Makes an Opportunity Compelling.
We prefer, when appropriate, seller financing, conservative leverage, visible current income, reasonable capital requirements, value creation through operations rather than speculative appreciation, and multiple defensible exit paths. These are preferences, not guarantees or absolute requirements.
SUBMIT AN OPPORTUNITY
A Direct Path to an Investment Review.
We welcome direct submissions from property owners, brokers, operators, and strategic partners. Provide the location, asset type, size, occupancy, asking price or guidance, operating history, and available offering materials.
