Charlie has worked in the hospitality industry since he was a teen. And this year as of this year, he now holds over 38 years of experience in many facets of the industry including operations, capital planning, acquisitions, development, asset management, and dispositions.

“Whether you’re converting an industrial building or a big box retail building into storage, I think the primary risk is that you’re forecasting your lease rates years down the road. So you’re going from 0 income in place two whatever your performo tells you.”

“…Our primary line of defense in mitigating the risk of new supplies, focusing on acquisitions where we can be all in at or below replacement costs.
