Our Story
Founded in 2004, Cedar Creek Capital emerged from a vision to create unparalleled investment opportunities within the self-storage sector.

What does financial freedom mean to you?
Despite the extraordinary challenges my family and I faced during this time, financial security was not one of them. All because we had invested in self-storage and built our investment portfolio years prior.
Even in my incapacitated state, self-storage continued to generate income for my family. This was true financial freedom. Ensuring that my wife could provide for our children and allow all of us to focus solely on my recovery without worry of financial ruin.
It was during this time, I promised myself that if I were to survive, I would provide this same financial freedom, stability and wealth creation opportunity to you. Bringing you on as my business partner and providing you and your family a path to passive income, equity ownership, and pass-through tax benefits sought in real estate investing.
