Profitable, turn-key vehicle storage facility with real estate included — exceptional cash flow and ownership flexibility. Current NOI: $23,500 per month after all expenses. Asking price: $4,200,000 (real estate included, real estate value $4,200,000). Limited seller financing available. Property highlights: - Two parcels totaling 4 acres located off Route 1 in Maryland — high visibility and convenient access. - Owned real estate: secure, fully paved outdoor vehicle storage with 176 marked parking/storage slots (units vary: 19x9, 26x9, 30x10 and multiple 8x10 storage units) plus several on-site storage pods and room to add additional pods. - Current occupancy at capacity with 170 active slots, producing stable, recurring revenue. - Secure site with gated PIN access (single entrance and exit) and an on-site office. - Low overhead: currently operated with one full-time employee (who will remain), sellers are retiring and the business is largely absentee-run.

Why buy: - Immediate positive cash flow and strong NOI with value tied to owned commercial real estate. - Minimal owner involvement required; ideal for investors or owner-operators seeking a stable, recession-resistant asset. - Turn-key transition with existing staff retained for continuity.

What to know about transportation and storage business acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating transportation and storage business acquisitions.

Decide which kind of business you're buying

A storage facility's occupancy is durable real-estate income; trucking and moving revenue depends on contracts and crews. Price the two very differently.

Inspect the fleet and facility condition

Trucks, trailers, vehicles, and build-outs are capital-heavy with finite lives; get age, maintenance history, and the deferred replacement schedule.

Verify DOT, operating authority, and regulatory standing

Authority, safety ratings, and driver qualifications are central and may not transfer; review the compliance record.

Quantify customer and contract concentration

Contracted freight or a few large accounts can carry a transportation business and leave with little notice; understand the terms.

Pressure-test fuel, labor, and driver availability

Margins move with fuel and wages, and qualified drivers are scarce; understand the cost structure and key-person risk.

For storage, verify occupancy, rate trends, and the real estate

Occupancy history, rate increases, and property condition drive value; confirm the numbers and any deferred maintenance.
