Why Investors Choose Vault Strategic Capital
At Vault Strategic Capital, we believe that strong returns start with strong values. We’re not chasing hype. We’re building a better future - one thoughtfully acquired asset at a time.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Skin in the Game:
We invest our own capital alongside yours - and treat investor money like it's our own. Always.
Built by a Builder:
With 15+ years in construction, we know how to spot real value, fix problems fast, and manage projects like pros.
A Human-First Approach:
Relationships matter. Transparency matters. Integrity matters. That’s how we operate - because that’s who we are.
Adaptable, Not Opportunistic:
While self-storage is our current focus, we’re not bound to one asset class. We go where the numbers make sense - and where long-term resilience lives.
Grounded, Not Glossy:
No inflated projections or sugar-coated promises. Just real work, real results, and real conversations with real people.
Our Strategy: Recession-Resilient Real Assets with Upside
Vault Strategic Capital focuses on identifying underperforming self storage assets in secondary and tertiary markets across the U.S., targeting deals with strong fundamentals and clear paths to improvement.
Our current approach centers around:
Step 1:
Value-Add Acquisition:
We seek facilities with operational inefficiencies, below market rents, or underutilized footprints.
Step 2:
Hands-On Turnaround:
Leveraging our background in construction and project management, we implement low capex improvements that drive NOI.
Step 3:
Operational Excellence:
From smart locks to dynamic pricing, we modernize systems to improve tenant experience and drive revenue.
Step 4:
Refi & Roll Strategy:
Our goal is to return investor capital through refinancing within 3-5 years, while holding for ongoing cash flow and equity upside.
Step 5:
Disciplined Deal Selection:
We walk away from more deals than we do - and we only move forward when the downside is protected and the upside is real.
“I didn’t grow up with wealth. I built it - job by job, deal by deal, lesson by lesson. And now I’m building something that lasts, with people who share that same mindset.”

Meet the Founder
Jacob Teel, Founder of Vault Strategic Capital
From managing paint crews in high school to building his own cabinetry shop, Jacob’s path wasn’t traditional - but it was deeply earned.
Raised in modest circumstances and shaped by early challenges, Jacob learned the value of hard work, resilience, and doing right by people. After years of success in the construction and remodeling space, he transitioned his personal wealth into long-term rentals. But it wasn’t until discovering self-storage that he found a scalable, stable path for building true legacy wealth.
Now the owner-operator of multiple self storage facilities across the U.S., Jacob brings an uncommon blend of hands on expertise, financial discipline, and personal integrity to every opportunity.
“Vault isn’t just a name. It’s a mindset. Protect the downside. Preserve the upside. And give people a place to store their trust - not just their stuff.” - Jacob Teel
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of returns do you target?
While every deal is different, our focus is on value-add opportunities with strong downside protection and healthy upside potential. Many of our projects target a refinance event within 3–5 years to return initial capital, while holding for longer-term gains.
Do I need to be an accredited investor?
We’re currently building relationships with both accredited and sophisticated investors. If you’re not sure where you fall, we’re happy to walk you through the distinctions.
Are there any active investment opportunities right now?
We do not currently have an active offering. However, we’re always open to building new relationships ahead of our next acquisition. If you’re curious, start the conversation. No pressure, no pitch - just real estate talk.
What makes self-storage a good investment?
Self-storage has proven to be one of the most resilient asset classes during economic downturns. Low operating costs, strong demand drivers, and flexible lease terms create a compelling risk-reward profile - especially when combined with strategic improvements and smart management.
Can I learn more without committing?
Absolutely. Our Field Guide is a no-obligation way to understand how this strategy works. We believe education builds confidence - and confident investors make the best partners.
