Self-storage underwriting
Self-storage underwriting software — a unit-mix business, modeled.
Self-storage underwriting software models a facility by unit type and size — occupancy, street rates, and existing-customer rate increases (ECRI) — on the operating profile storage actually runs on. Origentic captures the mix instead of a blended average, deterministically, and it's free to start.
Model the mix, not the average
Enter unit types and sizes with their street rates and occupancy, and Origentic builds revenue from the actual mix — because a 10×10 climate-controlled unit and an outdoor parking space don't behave the same.
- •Unit-type mix and street rates
- •Occupancy and existing-customer rate increases (ECRI)
- •Storage-specific operating expense profile
ECRI and seasonality
Model existing-customer rate increases and seasonal occupancy patterns so the revenue ramp and the operating margin reflect how storage is actually run.
Institutional returns output
Levered IRR, equity multiple, DSCR, sources and uses, waterfalls, and an investment memo — the same decision-ready format as the rest of the book.

Frequently asked questions
- How does Origentic underwrite self-storage?
- By unit type and size, with street rates, occupancy, existing-customer rate increases (ECRI), and seasonality, built up from the actual unit mix to facility-level NOI and returns.
- What is ECRI and does it model it?
- ECRI is existing-customer rate increases — periodic rate bumps to in-place tenants. Yes, Origentic models ECRI as part of the revenue build.
- Does it handle climate-controlled vs. drive-up mix?
- Yes. Different unit types carry their own street rates and occupancy, so the mix drives revenue rather than a blended average.
