We believe in moderate leverage, tax efficiency and long term ownership of well-managed assets
We believe in long term, tax efficient real estate ownership. If you're interested in a quick flip and maximizing IRR - our group is not for you. We buy properties with low leverage (no leverage on many acquisitions) and plan to hold them for 5+ years and potentially forever. We refinance responsibly to send tax-free proceeds to LPs when it makes sense!

“It’s been ~2 years since I first participated with Bolt Storage and your team has done a fantastic job. I have invested with handful of other GPs and Bolt is best in class in the frequency and details of updates, K1s, preferred returns etc. It is a big factor in making future allocation to projects. Kudos to Kevin and Leslie and everyone else in the background.”

Low leverage
We don't over-lever our properties to risk financial ruin when the market shifts. We average 50% leverage on new acquisitions. This lowers potential upside but drastically reduces potential downside.

Long term holds
What is the point of owning real estate if you're just going to sell the property and pay a bunch of taxes and also be stuck looking to re-deploy the proceeds? We would be happy to own each asset we buy forever.
