Doug Ticus on Uncovering Hidden Tax Saving in Self-Storage

Capright’s latest On the Spot podcast is live. Featuring Steve Williams and Doug Ticus breaking down one of the most overlooked issues in the self-storage sector: overpaying on property taxes.

During their conversation, Doug highlights a critical insight from Capright’s Self-Storage REIT Update:

🔍 Many owners are being taxed on components that shouldn’t be taxed at all.

It comes down to properly separating real estate from non-realty components, and most operators don’t realize how much this impacts their bottom line.

Doug explains how Capright helps owners:

• Accurately measure non-realty components
• Report those valuations to taxing jurisdictions
• Avoid unnecessary tax burdens
• Strengthen long-term operating performance
