The Cedar Creek Approach
The simplicity of our operating model has driven outsized returns for our investors for nearly two decades.
Cedar Creek Capital
Cedar Creek Capital is a vertically integrated real estate private equity firm specializing in the acquisition, development, and management of self-storage facilities. Cedar Creek Capital drives shareholder values through operational synergies throughout our entities.
The BIRD Model
We apply this model to mid-level risk growth assets and low-level risk stabilized assets to deliver investors maximum return potential with minimum downside exposure.
Buy
We target 50,000 square foot facilities in growing markets with a minimum population of 30,000.
Increase
Cash Flow
From systems and operations to employees and amenities, we identify value-add opportunities and implement them accordingly to give our investors maximum return potential.
Reduce Risk, Take Money Out
We then leverage the capital we have in the asset and refinance it into a non-recourse loan, reducing any potential risks and clearing our investors of any liability.
Do It Again
We implement this strategy over and over again to turn underperforming facilities into market leaders.
