Welcome to the RAND CRA show, commercial real estate with no stone left unturned.

Hey, everyone, welcome to the RANDC.R.E. Show. I'm your host, Mike Tarvella, and today I am super excited to have our guest, Ryan Gibson.

He's the chief investing officer of the Spartan Investment Group.

And Ryan and his team, Ryan has been in charge of 30 million in private equity projects for

Spartan. Welcome to the show, Ryan. How's it going? Good. Thanks for having me, Mike.

Yeah. You know, we were talking before the podcast, just just giving to know each other a little bit more and just, Ryan would love to kind of hear more about what Spartans core, like what does Spartan do? How did it, like the three unique side propositions that we talked about before.

So it's a very reitworthy asset. It has utilities, city utilities, mountain views, high rents, high cost of manufacturing homes. But our primary thesis is to invest in

self-storage. And we have just over a million square feet of self-storage, about 20 facilities

spread across five states. And we're currently buying portfolios of storage. So we have a portfolio

of nine storages that we're bringing on.

This quarter, we also have another portfolio of three storages.

And we're going to be, I believe, in about 10 states pretty soon, spread across the different assets and just shy of 40 storages by the end of the year.
