Secure, Scalable 1031 Exchange Support for Self-Storage Investors

Self-storage facilities have become one of the most resilient and scalable real estate asset classes, offering steady demand across economic cycles. As values rise and portfolios expand, a 1031 exchange allows self-storage owners to defer capital gains taxes while preserving equity for reinvestment. HUB 1031 Inc. safeguards every exchange with regulated escrow custody, segregated accounts, and institutional-grade oversight — ensuring investor capital remains protected throughout the process.

Tailored Support for Self-Storage Assets

Self-storage exchanges often involve specialized operations, brand affiliations, and phased acquisitions. HUB 1031 supports exchanges involving:

  • Single-facility self-storage properties

  • Multi-facility portfolios

  • Climate-controlled and specialty storage assets

  • Facilities operated under national or regional brands

Our role is to ensure exchange proceeds are handled securely and timelines are met, even when transactions involve overlapping closings or portfolio restructuring.

Why Self-Storage Investors Choose HUB 1031

Self-storage transactions can move quickly and often involve multiple properties within a single exchange structure. Secure fund custody is essential.

  • Exchange proceeds are held in segregated custodial accounts through Guaranty Escrow, Inc.

  • Custody is subject to DFPI oversight and annual independent audits

  • All staff are DOJ-cleared and fingerprinted

  • Funds are never pooled, reinvested, or commingled

  • Security standards exceed what is typical in the unregulated 1031 exchange market

This structure supports the speed and scale common in self-storage exchanges.

Preserve Value Through Tax Deferral

Self-storage facilities often appreciate significantly following operational improvements or market growth. A 1031 exchange allows owners to defer capital gains taxes and retain more equity for expansion, repositioning, or long-term income strategies.

Scale Into Larger or More Efficient Facilities

Many self-storage investors use 1031 exchanges to:

  • Upgrade into newer or higher-capacity facilities

  • Consolidate several smaller properties into a single regional asset

  • Transition into professionally managed or institutionally operated facilities

This scalability supports continued growth without triggering unnecessary tax liabilities.

Improve Operational Efficiency

Self-storage owners often seek to reduce operational complexity over time. A 1031 exchange allows investors to reposition equity into facilities with:

  • Improved automation and access control

  • Stronger occupancy trends

  • Lower management intensity

This shift can enhance performance while minimizing day-to-day involvement.

Simplify Ownership Structures

As portfolios grow, ownership structures can become fragmented. A properly structured 1031 exchange allows self-storage investors to simplify holdings, reduce administrative burden, and maintain compliance — all while preserving tax deferral benefits.
