“ We don ’ t roll out investors when we are buying an asset , we look at them as investors for life . This helps us ensure longterm equity and passive income for investors while returning their principal and profits in just three to six years .”
No Guesswork Geography
Location is one of the most important aspects of any deal to Osborne . In the past , he has avoided investing in towns that rely heavily on one industry or a single large employer . He knows that if that industry suffers , his deal will suffer too .
“ If there ’ s only a few employers in town , you don ’ t want to own the selfstorage facility there . For example , if I ’ m looking at selfstorage in a logging town , and the mill is one of the only employers there , I already know that I don ’ t want to own that because when the market changes or the mill goes out of business , my asset is gone too since the locals will leave or not be able to afford storage . There ’ s too much risk ,” he shared .
Across the Street from Amazon
More recently , he ’ s expanded his research and philosophy on geography to include researching where the nation ’ s big companies are opening new factories or other operations and putting more focus on those areas . He knows that these larger companies will have researched the area well and will hire a
large influx of people that will relocate to the area , many need storage spaces as they resettle into new lives and jobs .
But , in some ways , Osborne already seems attuned to the market . This worked out particularly well when he purchased a property a few years ago along a quiet stretch of Arizona highway , with plans to develop it in the future .
Cedar Creek Capital will begin breaking ground in early 2023 on the exciting new project , ahead of The Wall Street Journal ’ s recently released video discussing the upcoming boom in the area , calling it a “ logistics hub ” and revealing that one of the world ’ s biggest semiconductor and microchip manufacturers is moving there — as well as Amazon , Puma , and UPS .
“ The development in Arizona is a great example of how our due diligence process pays off massively ,” Osborne explained . “ In that process , we came to the same conclusion about this area as those companies . We ’ ve already made a significant profit on that deal without even renting a single unit . After that video came out , land prices along that highway grew exponentially .”
Along with building wealth for himself , his company , and his investors , Osborne is also set on keeping his investors for the long term .
“ We don ’ t roll out investors when we are buying an asset , we look at them as investors for life ,” Osborne said . “ This helps us ensure longterm equity and passive income for investors while returning their principal and profits in just three to six years .”
