Louisiana Self Storage Market Lead - Acquisition Expert

Elifin; Baton Rouge (LA); Hybrid; USD 90,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

ELIFIN is seeking a Self Storage Specialist to own the Louisiana self storage sector. This is not an entry-level seat; you should explain the gap between owner’s street rates and in-place rents, read a unit mix, and tell a seller how their ECRI history will affect underwriting before the buyer’s underwriter arrives.

Self storage experience is a hard requirement. If you are a strong salesperson who is not familiar with self storage, apply to our Commercial Real Estate Agent posting instead.

Qualifications

• Direct, verifiable experience in the self storage industry.
• Ability to broker or manage self storage sales or portfolios.
• Familiarity with SiteLink, storEDGE, Yardi Breeze, and Radius+ data.

Responsibilities

• Generate and service self storage sale assignments across Louisiana.
• Underwrite and value facilities: revenue management, unit mix, street rates vs in-place rents, NRSF, RevPAF, expense ratios, protection plans and ancillary income.
• Normalize owner-operator financials to institutional standards (management fee, payroll, insurance).
• Run supply and demand analyses on trade areas (per capita, saturation, pipeline).
• Advise developers on site selection, feasibility, absorption, and stabilization assumptions.
• Represent buyers on acquisitions, including 1031 timelines and portfolio roll-ups.
• Prospect owners directly and build the pipeline.
• Build ELIFIN into the Louisiana self storage authority via research and market reports.
