Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization	Note 1. Organization Strategic Storage Trust II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), was formed on January 8, 2013 under the Maryland General Corporation Law for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in self storage facilities. The Company’s year-end Strategic Storage Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SSH”), was the sponsor of our Offering (as defined below) through August 31, 2014. Effective August 31, 2014, SmartStop Self Storage, Inc. (“SmartStop”), entered into a series of transactions, agreements and amendments to its existing agreements and arrangements (such agreements and amendments hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Self Administration and Investment Management Transaction”) with SSH and its affiliates, pursuant to which, effective August 31, 2014, SmartStop acquired the self storage advisory, asset management, property management and investment management businesses of SSH. SmartStop also acquired SSH’s sole membership interest in SmartStop Asset Management, LLC (formerly Strategic Storage Realty Group, LLC), which owns 97.5% of the economic interests (and 100% of the voting membership interests) of Strategic Storage Advisor II, LLC (our “Advisor”) and owns 100% of Strategic Storage Property Management II, LLC (our “Property Manager”). On October 1, 2015, SmartStop and Extra Space Storage Inc. (“Extra Space”), along with subsidiaries of each of SmartStop and Extra Space, closed on a merger transaction (the “Extra Space Merger”) in which SmartStop was acquired by Extra Space for $13.75 per share in cash, representing an enterprise value of approximately $1.4 billion. At the closing of the Extra Space Merger, SmartStop Asset Management, LLC, the owner of our Property Manager and majority owner and sole voting member of our Advisor, was sold to an entity controlled by H. Michael Schwartz, our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, and became our sponsor (our “Sponsor”). The former executive management team of SmartStop continues to serve as the executive management team for our Sponsor. In addition, our management team remains the same, as well as the management team of our Advisor and Property Manager. We have no employees. Our Advisor, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on January 8, 2013. Our Advisor is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day On August 2, 2013, our Advisor purchased 100 shares of our common stock for $1,000 and became our initial stockholder. Our Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as amended, authorized 350,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class A Shares”) and 350,000,000 shares of Class T common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class T Shares”) and 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001. We offered a maximum of $1.0 billion in common shares for sale to the public (the “Primary Offering”) and $95.0 million in common shares for sale pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (collectively, the “Offering”). On January 10, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared our registration statement effective. On May 23, 2014, we satisfied the $1.5 million minimum offering requirements of our Offering and commenced formal operations. On September 28, 2015, we revised our Primary Offering to offer two classes of shares of common stock: Class A Shares and Class T Shares. On January 9, 2017, our Primary Offering terminated. We sold approximately 48 million Class A Shares and approximately 7 million Class T Shares for approximately $493 million and $73 million respectively, in our Offering. On November 30, 2016, we filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3, On April 13, 2017, our board of directors, upon recommendation of our nominating and corporate governance committee, approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.22 for our Class A Shares and Class T Shares based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, or net asset value, divided by the number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, calculated as of December 31, 2016. See our Current Report on Form 8-K As a result of the calculation of our estimated value per share, effective in May 2017, shares sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan are sold at the estimated value per share of $10.22 for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares. Our operating partnership, Strategic Storage Operating Partnership II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (our “Operating Partnership”), was formed on January 9, 2013. During 2013, our Advisor purchased limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership for $200,000 and on August 2, 2013, we contributed the initial $1,000 capital contribution we received to our Operating Partnership in exchange for the general partner interest. In conjunction with the Toronto Merger (as defined in Note 7) we issued an aggregate of approximately 483,197 Class A Units of our Operating Partnership to the common stockholders of SS Toronto, consisting of Strategic 1031, LLC (“Strategic 1031”), a subsidiary of our Sponsor, and SS Toronto REIT Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of our Sponsor. Our Operating Partnership owns, directly or indirectly through one or more special purpose entities, all of the self storage properties that we have acquired and the self storage properties we will acquire in the future. As of March 31, 2017, we owned approximately 99.1% of the common units of limited partnership interests of our Operating Partnership. The remaining approximately 0.9% of the common units are owned by our Advisor, Strategic 1031, and SS Toronto REIT Advisors, Inc. As the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership, we have the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business of our Operating Partnership. We conduct certain activities through our taxable REIT subsidiary, Strategic Storage TRS II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “TRS”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership. Our Property Manager was formed on January 8, 2013 to manage our properties. Our Property Manager derives substantially all of its income from the property management services it performs for us. Our Property Manager may enter into sub-property sub-property sub-property ® re-branded ® Our dealer manager was Select Capital Corporation, a California corporation (our “Dealer Manager”). Our Dealer Manager was responsible for marketing our shares offered pursuant to our Primary Offering. Our Chief Executive Officer owned, through a wholly-owned limited liability company, a 15% non-voting non-voting non-voting non-voting As we accepted subscriptions for shares of our common stock, we transferred all of the net offering proceeds to our Operating Partnership as capital contributions in exchange for additional units of interest in our Operating Partnership. However, we were deemed to have made capital contributions in the amount of gross proceeds received from investors, and our Operating Partnership was deemed to have simultaneously paid the sales commissions and other costs associated with the Offering. In addition, our Operating Partnership is structured to make distributions with respect to limited partnership units that are equivalent to the distributions made to holders of common stock. Finally, a limited partner in our Operating Partnership may later exchange his or her limited partnership units in our Operating Partnership for shares of our common stock at any time after one year following the date of issuance of their limited partnership units, subject to certain restrictions outlined in our Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement (the “Operating Partnership Agreement”). Our Advisor is prohibited from exchanging or otherwise transferring its limited partnership units so long as it is acting as our Advisor pursuant to our Advisory Agreement.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Principles of Consolidation Our financial statements, and the financial statements of our Operating Partnership, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The portion of these entities not wholly-owned by us is presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Consolidation Considerations Current accounting guidance provides a framework for identifying a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In general, a VIE is an entity or other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations. Generally, a VIE should be consolidated if a party with an ownership, contractual, or other financial interest in the VIE (a variable interest holder) has the power to direct the VIE’s most significant activities and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. A variable interest holder that consolidates the VIE is called the primary beneficiary. Upon consolidation, the primary beneficiary generally must initially record all of the VIE’s assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interest at fair value and subsequently account for the VIE as if it were consolidated based on majority voting interest. Our Operating Partnership is deemed to be a VIE and is consolidated by the Company as the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had not entered into any other contracts/interests that would be deemed to be variable interests in VIEs. Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities We account for the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership in accordance with the related accounting guidance. Due to our control through our general partnership interest in our Operating Partnership and the limited rights of the limited partner, our Operating Partnership, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are consolidated with the Company and the limited partner interest is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling interest shall be attributed its share of income and losses, even if that attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Management will adjust such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates made include the allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value, the determination if certain entities should be consolidated, the evaluation of potential impairment of long-lived assets, and the useful lives of real estate assets and intangibles. Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. We may maintain cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of insured limits, but believe this risk will be mitigated by only investing in or through major financial institutions. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists primarily of impound reserve accounts for property taxes, insurance and capital improvements in connection with the requirements of certain of our loan agreements. Real Estate Purchase Price Allocation We account for acquisitions in accordance with GAAP which requires that we allocate the purchase price of the property to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values. This guidance requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, including fair value estimates, as of the acquisition date. Acquisitions of portfolios of facilities are allocated to the individual facilities based upon an income approach or a cash flow analysis using appropriate risk adjusted capitalization rates which take into account the relative size, age, and location of the individual facility along with current and projected occupancy and rental rate levels or appraised values, if available. Allocations to the individual assets and liabilities are based upon comparable market sales information for land and estimates of depreciated replacement cost of equipment, building and site improvements. In allocating the purchase price, we determine whether the acquisition includes intangible assets or liabilities. Substantially all of the leases in place at acquired properties are at market rates, as the majority of the leases are month-to-month in-place, in-place Should the initial accounting for an acquisition be incomplete by the end of a reporting period that falls within the measurement period, we will report provisional amounts in our financial statements. During the measurement period, we will adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date and we will record those adjustments to our consolidated financial statements. We will recognize any measurement period adjustments during the period in which we determine the amount of the adjustment to our consolidated financial statements, potentially including adjustments to interest, depreciation and amortization expense. Evaluation of Possible Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Management monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable, we will assess the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of the long-lived assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, we will adjust the value of the long-lived assets to the fair value and recognize an impairment loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no impairment losses were recognized. Revenue Recognition Management believes that all of our leases are operating leases. Rental income is recognized in accordance with the terms of the leases, which generally are month-to-month. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Tenant accounts receivable is reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Management’s estimate of the allowance is based upon a review of the current status of tenant accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that management’s estimate of the allowance will change in the future. Real Estate Facilities Real estate facilities are recorded based on relative fair value as of the date of acquisition. We capitalize costs incurred to develop, construct, renovate and improve properties, including interest and property taxes incurred during the construction period. The construction period begins when expenditures for the real estate assets have been made and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress. The construction period ends when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Depreciation of Real Property Assets Our management is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. Depreciation of our real property assets is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows: Description Standard Depreciable Life Land Not Depreciated Buildings 30-35 Site Improvements 7-10 Depreciation of Personal Property Assets Personal property assets consist primarily of furniture, fixtures and equipment and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives generally ranging from 3 to 5 years, and are included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Intangible Assets We have allocated a portion of our real estate purchase price to in-place in-place in-place in-place in-place in-place The total estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ending December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 is approximately $9.8 million, $2.4 million, $98,000, $98,000, and $98,000, respectively. Debt Issuance Costs The net carrying value of costs incurred in connection with our revolving credit facility are presented as debt issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related loan, which is not materially different than the effective interest method. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accumulated amortization of debt issuance costs related to our revolving credit facility totaled approximately $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The net carrying value of costs incurred in connection with obtaining non revolving debt are presented on the balance sheet as a deduction from debt (see Note 5). Debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related loan, which is not materially different than the effective interest method. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accumulated amortization of debt issuance costs related to non revolving debt totaled approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Organization and Offering Costs Our Advisor may fund organization and offering costs on our behalf. We are required to reimburse our Advisor for such organization and offering costs; provided, however, our Advisor must reimburse us within 60 days after the end of the month in which the Offering terminates to the extent we paid or reimbursed organization and offering costs (excluding sales commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) in excess of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds from the Primary Offering. Such costs will be recognized as a liability when we have a present responsibility to reimburse our Advisor, which is defined in our Advisory Agreement as the date we satisfied the minimum offering requirements of our Offering (which occurred on May 23, 2014). If at any point in time we determine that the total organization and offering costs are expected to exceed 3.5% of the gross proceeds anticipated to be received from the Primary Offering, we will recognize such excess as a capital contribution from our Advisor. Subsequent to the termination of our Primary Offering on January 9, 2017, we determined that organization and offering costs did not exceed 3.5% of the gross proceeds from the Primary Offering. Offering costs are recorded as an offset to additional paid-in We pay our Dealer Manager an ongoing stockholder servicing fee that is payable monthly and accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1% of the purchase price per share of the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering. We will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering at the earlier of (i) the date we list our shares on a national securities exchange, merge or consolidate with or into another entity, or sell or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, (ii) the date at which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of both Class A Shares and Class T Shares in our Primary Offering (i.e., excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan), which calculation shall be made by us with the assistance of our Dealer Manager commencing after the termination of the Primary Offering; (iii) the fifth anniversary of the last day of the fiscal quarter in which our Primary Offering (i.e., excluding our distribution reinvestment plan offering) terminates; and (iv) the date that such Class T Share is redeemed or is no longer outstanding. Our Dealer Manager entered into participating dealer agreements with certain other broker-dealers which authorized them to sell our shares. Upon sale of our shares by such broker-dealers, our Dealer Manager re-allowed re-allow non-accountable Foreign Currency Translation For non-U.S. Redeemable Common Stock We adopted a share redemption program that will enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances. We record amounts that are redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets since the shares are redeemable at the option of the holder and therefore their redemption is outside our control. The maximum amount redeemable under our share redemption program is limited to the number of shares we can repurchase with the amount of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan. However, accounting guidance states that determinable amounts that can become redeemable but that are contingent on an event that is likely to occur (e.g., the passage of time) should be presented as redeemable when such amount is known. Therefore, the net proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan are considered to be temporary equity and are presented as redeemable common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, current accounting guidance requires, among other things, that financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of us to repurchase shares be classified as liabilities and reported at settlement value. Our redeemable common shares will be contingently redeemable at the option of the holder. When we determine we have a mandatory obligation to repurchase shares under the share redemption program, we will reclassify such obligations from temporary equity to a liability based upon their respective settlement values. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we received redemption requests totaling approximately $0.4 million (approximately 42,000 shares), which were included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2017, and fulfilled in April 2017. Accounting for Equity Awards The cost of restricted stock is required to be measured based on the grant date fair value and the cost recognized over the relevant service period. Fair Value Measurements Under GAAP, we are required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, we are required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring • Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access; • Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities that are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement will fall within the lowest level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. In determining fair value, we will utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Considerable judgment will be necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining fair value of our financial and non-financial Financial and non-financial non-recurring The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, distributions payable and amounts due to affiliates will approximate fair value because of the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. The table below summarizes our fixed rate notes payable at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The estimated fair value of financial instruments is subjective in nature and is dependent on a number of important assumptions, including discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The fair value of the fixed rate notes payable was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize in a current market exchange. March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fixed Rate Secured Debt $ 162,600,000 $ 166,302,688 $ 158,700,000 $ 166,410,537 As of March 31, 2017, we had interest rate swaps on four of our loans (See Notes 5 and 6). The valuations of these instruments were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative. The analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair value of the interest rate swaps were determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments were based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with GAAP, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of derivative contracts for the effect of non-performance Although we had determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives were within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, through March 31, 2017, we had assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and had determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we had determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities We record all derivatives on our balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives are recognized directly in earnings. Amounts are reclassified out of other comprehensive income into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. As of March 31, 2017, all of our derivative instruments met the criteria for hedge accounting. Income Taxes We made an election to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. To qualify as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the REIT’s ordinary taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gains and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the IRS grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT and intend to operate in the foreseeable future in such a manner that we will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Even if we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. We filed elections to treat our TRS as a taxable REIT subsidiary effective January 1, 2014. In general, the TRS performs additional services for our customers and generally engages in any real estate or non-real Per Share Data Basic earnings per share attributable to our common stockholders for all periods presented are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to our common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed by including the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock, utilizing the treasury stock method. For all periods presented the dilutive effect of unrestricted stock was not included in the diluted weighted average shares as such shares were antidilutive.

This promissory note is encumbered by five properties, Morrisville, Cary, Raleigh, Myrtle Beach I, and Myrtle Beach II. (2) As of March 31, 2017, this facility encumbers 21 properties (Xenia, Sidney, Troy, Greenville, Washington Court House, Richmond, Connersville, Vallejo, Port St. Lucie I, Sacramento, Sonoma, Las Vegas I, Las Vegas II, Las Vegas III, Baltimore, Aurora II, Plantation, Wellington, Naples, Port St. Lucie II, and Doral). (3) Canadian Dollar denominated loans shown above in USD based on the foreign exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2017. Variable rate loans are based on Canadian Prime, or the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (“CDOR”). (4) This loan was assumed during the acquisition of the Oakland and Concord properties, along with an interest rate swap with USAmeriBank that fixes the interest rate at 3.95%. (5) As of March 31, 2017, this loan encumbers five properties (Pompano Beach, Lake Worth, Jupiter, Royal Palm Beach, and Delray). (6) This loan encumbers 29 properties (Whittier, La Verne, Santa Ana, Upland, La Habra, Monterey Park, Huntington Beach, Chico, Lancaster I, Riverside, Fairfield, Lompoc, Santa Rosa, Federal Heights, Aurora, Littleton, Bloomingdale, Crestwood, Forestville, Warren I, Sterling Heights, Troy, Warren II, Beverly, Everett, Foley, Tampa, Boynton Beach, and Lancaster II). The separate assets and credit of these encumbered properties are not available to pay our other debts. (7) This loan encumbers 11 self storage properties (Asheville I, Arden, Asheville II, Hendersonville I, Asheville III, Asheville IV, Asheville V, Asheville VI, Asheville VII, Asheville VIII, and Hendersonville II) with monthly interest only payments until September 2019, at which time both interest and principal payments will be due monthly. (8) Canadian Dollar denominated loans shown above in USD based on the foreign exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2017. These loans were assumed during the Toronto Merger, along with an interest rate swap with the Bank of Montreal that fixes the interest rate at 3.21%. (9) Canadian Dollar denominated loans shown above in USD based on the foreign exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2017. The Granite and Centennial loans were assumed during the Toronto Merger with variable interest rates of 5.45% and 5.70%, respectively, as of March 31, 2017. (10) The Amended KeyBank Subordinate Loan was repaid in full on March 8, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, we provided recourse guarantees totaling approximately $52.9 million in connection with certain of our loans. We are subject to certain restrictive covenants relating to the outstanding debt. Amended KeyBank Credit Facility On December 22, 2015, we, through our Operating Partnership, and certain affiliated entities (the “Borrower”), entered into an amended and restated revolving credit facility (the “Amended KeyBank Credit Facility”) with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as administrative agent and KeyBanc Capital Markets, LLC, as the sole book runner and sole lead arranger, and Texas Capital Bank, N.A., and Comerica Bank as co-lenders. Under the terms of the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility, we initially had a maximum borrowing capacity of $105 million. It is anticipated that the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility will be used to fund our future self storage property acquisitions. The Amended KeyBank Credit Facility may be increased to a maximum credit facility size of $500 million, in minimum increments of $10 million, which KeyBank will arrange on a best efforts basis. On February 18, 2016, we entered into a first amendment and joinder to the amended and restated credit agreement (the “First Amendment”) with KeyBank. Under the terms of the First Amendment, we added an additional $40 million to our maximum borrowing capacity for a total of $145 million with the admission of US Bank National Association (the “Subsequent Lender”). It is anticipated that the additional borrowing capacity will be used to fund our future self storage property acquisitions. The Subsequent Lender also became a party to the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility through a joinder agreement in the First Amendment. On March 8, 2017, we removed five of the properties held as collateral (Plantation, Wellington, Naples, Port St. Lucie II, and Doral) under the Amended KeyBank Property Loan (as defined below) and added them to the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility. In conjunction with adding these five properties to the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility, we borrowed $56 million which was used to pay down approximately $46 million of principal on the Amended KeyBank Property Loan and the remaining outstanding principal balance on the Amended KeyBank Subordinate Loan of $10 million. As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately $98.3 million in borrowings outstanding under the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility. The Amended KeyBank Credit Facility is a revolving loan with an initial term of three years, maturing on December 22, 2018, with two one-year 30-year The Amended KeyBank Credit Facility is fully recourse and is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgage liens on the mortgaged properties. The Amended KeyBank Credit Facility may be prepaid or terminated at any time without penalty, provided, however, that the Lenders (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) shall be indemnified for any breakage costs. Pursuant to that certain guaranty (the “KeyBank Guaranty”), dated December 22, 2015, in favor of the Lenders, we serve as a guarantor of all obligations due under the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility. Under certain conditions, the Borrower may cause the release of one or more of the properties serving as collateral for the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility, provided that no default or event of default is then outstanding or would reasonably occur as a result of such release, and after taking into account any prepayment of outstanding Loans (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) necessary to maintain compliance with the financial covenants. The Amended KeyBank Credit Facility contains a number of other customary terms and covenants, including the following (capitalized terms are as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement): the aggregate borrowing base availability under the Amended KeyBank Facility is limited to the lesser of: (1) 60% of the Pool Value of the properties in the collateral pool, or (2) an amount that would provide a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio of no less than 1.35 to 1.0; and we must meet the following financial tests, calculated as of the close of each fiscal quarter: (1) a Total Leverage Ratio of no more than 60%; (2) at any time, a Tangible Net Worth not less than the Base Amount plus 80% of Net Equity Proceeds received after the Effective Date; (3) an Interest Coverage Ratio of no less than 1.85 to 1.0; (4) a Fixed Charge Ratio of no less than 1.6 to 1.0; (5) a ratio of varying rate Indebtedness to total Indebtedness not in excess of 30%; (6) a Loan to Value Ratio of not greater than 60%; and (7) a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.35 to 1.0. On December 30, 2016, our Operating Partnership purchased an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $100 million that caps LIBOR at 1.5% through July 3, 2017. The Amended KeyBank Property Loan On March 25, 2016, one of our subsidiaries executed purchase and sale agreements with unaffiliated third parties for the acquisition of 22 self storage facilities (10 in Florida, 11 in North Carolina, and one in Maryland), two parcels of land adjacent to the North Carolina properties and one redevelopment property in North Carolina, which was subsequently assigned to Strategic Storage Growth Trust, Inc., (the “27 Property Portfolio”). On June 1, 2016 we closed on 11 self storage facilities in Florida and Maryland for approximately $275 million representing the first phase (“First Phase”) of the 27 Property Portfolio. On June 1, 2016, we, through certain affiliated entities (collectively, the “Property Loan Borrower”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Property Loan Agreement”) for a secured loan in the amount of $105 million (the “KeyBank Property Loan”) with KeyBank, as administrative agent, KeyBanc Capital Markets, LLC, as the sole book runner and sole lead arranger, and the lenders party thereto. The Property Loan Borrower borrowed $105 million in connection with the purchase of the properties in the First Phase of the 27 Property Portfolio. The KeyBank Property Loan is a term loan facility with an original maturity date of December 31, 2016. On December 29, 2016, we entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment to the KeyBank Property Loan”) in connection with the KeyBank Property Loan. Prior to the First Amendment to the KeyBank Property Loan, one of the properties held as collateral was removed and added to the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility and the KeyBank Property Loan was reduced to approximately $92.8 million. The First Amendment to the KeyBank Property Loan extended the maturity date of the loan (the “Amended KeyBank Property Loan”) from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017. On March 8, 2017, we removed five of the properties held as collateral (Plantation, Wellington, Naples, Port St. Lucie II, and Doral) under the Amended KeyBank Property Loan and added them to the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility. On March 30, 2017 we entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended KeyBank Property Loan to extend the maturity date from March 31, 2017 to May 1, 2017. On April 11, 2017, we removed the remaining five properties that served as collateral under the Amended KeyBank Property Loan and entered into a new loan agreement with KeyBank in which we borrowed $52 million, the proceeds of which were primarily used to pay down the approximately $47.1 million outstanding balance on the Amended KeyBank Property Loan (See Note 11). The Amended KeyBank Subordinate Loan On June 1, 2016, in conjunction with the acquisition of the First Phase of the 27 Property Portfolio, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Subordinate Loan Agreement”) in which we borrowed $30 million (the “KeyBank Subordinate Loan”) with KeyBank, as administrative agent, KeyBanc Capital Markets, LLC, as the sole book runner and sole lead arranger, and the lenders party thereto. The KeyBank Subordinate Loan is a term loan facility with an original maturity date of December 31, 2016. During the third and fourth quarters of 2016, we made payments totaling $20 million on the KeyBank Subordinate Loan, reducing the loan amount to $10 million as of December 29, 2016. On December 29, 2016, we entered into a First Amendment to the Subordinate Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment to the Subordinate Loan”), which extended the maturity date of the Subordinate Loan Agreement (subsequently, the “Amended KeyBank Subordinate Loan”) from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017. On March 8, 2017, we repaid the outstanding balance of $10 million on the Amended KeyBank Subordinate Loan through a draw on the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility. KeyBank CMBS Loan On July 28, 2016, we, through 29 special purpose entities wholly owned by our Operating Partnership, entered into a loan agreement with KeyBank in which we borrowed $95 million from KeyBank (the “KeyBank CMBS Loan”). Pursuant to the loan agreement, the collateral under the loan consists of our respective fee interests in 29 self storage properties (the “29 Mortgaged Properties”). The proceeds of the KeyBank CMBS Loan were primarily used to pay down our Amended KeyBank Credit Facility, after which the 29 Mortgaged Properties were released as collateral under the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility. The KeyBank CMBS Loan has an initial term of ten years, maturing on August 1, 2026. In connection with the KeyBank CMBS Loan, we entered into two promissory notes, dated July 28, 2016, in the amounts of $70 million and $25 million (the “Promissory Notes”). Monthly payments due under the Promissory Notes are interest-only for the first five years and payments reflecting a 30-year amortization The KeyBank CMBS Loan is secured by first mortgage liens or deeds of trusts on the 29 Mortgaged Properties, an assignment of all leases/rents, perfected first priority security interests in all personal property, escrows, reserves and a cash management account. In addition, we have provided a guaranty, dated July 28, 2016, in favor of KeyBank, in which we serve as a guarantor of all obligations due under the loan agreement. The KeyBank CMBS Loan may be repaid in whole or in part through a partial or full defeasance (releasing one or more of the 29 Mortgaged Properties from the liens) beginning two years after the Promissory Notes are securitized, which occurred in August, 2016. The following table presents the future principal payment requirements on outstanding debt as of March 31, 2017: 2017 $ 55,841,745 (1) 2018 124,979,420 2019 25,421,574 2020 1,698,534 2021 13,062,238 2022 and thereafter 169,357,842 Total payments 390,361,353 Premium on secured debt, net 1,962,760 Debt issuance costs, net (2,346,820 ) Total $ 389,977,293 (1) On April 11, 2017, the Amended KeyBank Property Loan with approximately $47.1 million in principal outstanding as of March 31, 2017 was refinanced into a $52 million, ten year term loan maturing on May 1, 2027 (See Note 11).

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Note 6. Derivative Instruments Interest Rate Swaps Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we used interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative designated and that qualifies as a cash flow hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. Foreign Currency Forward Our objectives in using foreign currency derivatives are to add stability to potential fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar and to manage our exposure to exchange rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we used a foreign currency forward as part of our exchange rate risk management strategy. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to deliver a certain amount of currency at a certain price on a specific date in the future. By entering into the forward contract and holding it to maturity, we are locked into a future currency exchange rate in an amount equal to and for the term of the forward contract. We have designated the foreign currency forward as a net investment hedge and changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.

On March 8, 2017, we settled our two foreign currency forward contracts which resulted in us receiving a net settlement of approximately $1.4 million which was recorded in foreign currency forward contract gain in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Subsequent to the termination of our Primary Offering on January 9, 2017, we determined that organization and offering costs did not exceed 3.5% of the gross proceeds from the Primary Offering. Advisory Agreement We do not have any employees. Our Advisor is primarily responsible for managing our business affairs and carrying out the directives of our board of directors. Our Advisor receives various fees and expenses under the terms of our Advisory Agreement. As noted above, we were required under our Advisory Agreement to reimburse our Advisor for organization and offering costs. Our Advisory Agreement also required our Advisor to reimburse us to the extent that offering expenses, including sales commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees and organization and offering expenses, are in excess of 15% of gross proceeds from the Offering. Subsequent to the termination of our Primary Offering on January 9, 2017, we determined offering expenses were not in excess of 15% of gross proceeds from the Offering. Our Advisor receives acquisition fees equal to 1.75% of the contract purchase price of each property we acquire plus reimbursement of any acquisition expenses incurred by our Advisor.

Our Advisory Agreement provides for reimbursement of our Advisor’s direct and indirect costs of providing administrative and management services to us. Beginning four fiscal quarters after we acquired our first real estate asset, our Advisor became obligated to pay or reimburse us the amount by which our aggregate annual operating expenses, as defined, exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income, as defined, unless a majority of our independent directors determine that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring Dealer Manager Agreement Our Dealer Manager received a sales commission of up to 7.0% of gross proceeds from sales of Class A Shares and up to 2.0% of gross proceeds from the sales of Class T Shares in the Primary Offering and a dealer manager fee up to 3.0% of gross proceeds from sales of both Class A Shares and Class T Shares in the Primary Offering under the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement. In addition, our Dealer Manager receives an ongoing stockholder servicing fee that is payable monthly and accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1% of the purchase price per share of the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering. We will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering at the earlier of (i) the date we list our shares on a national securities exchange, merge or consolidate with or into another entity, or sell or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, (ii) the date at which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of both Class A Shares and Class T Shares in our Primary Offering (i.e., excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan), which calculation shall be made by us with the assistance of our Dealer Manager commencing after the termination of the Primary Offering; (iii) the fifth anniversary of the last day of the fiscal quarter in which our Primary Offering (i.e., excluding our distribution reinvestment plan offering) terminates; and (iv) the date that such Class T Share is redeemed or is no longer outstanding.

Tenant Protection Plan During the first quarter of 2016, in connection with our acquisitions of properties located in Canada, our board of directors approved our participation in a tenant protection plan pursuant to which we receive 50% of the net revenues generated for each tenant protection plan purchased by a customer at our Canadian properties and our Property Manager receives the other 50% of such net revenues. Storage Auction Program In March 2017, our Sponsor acquired a minority interest in a company (the “Auction Company”) that serves as a web portal for self storage companies to post their auctions for the contents of abandoned storage units online instead of using live auctions conducted at the self storage facilities. The Auction Company is expected to receive a service fee for such services. Our sub-property Toronto Merger On February 1, 2017, we entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Toronto Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which SST II Toronto Acquisition, LLC, a wholly owned and newly formed subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, merged (the “Toronto Merger”) with and into Strategic Storage Toronto Properties REIT, Inc. (“SS Toronto”), a subsidiary of our Sponsor, with SS Toronto surviving the Toronto Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership. In connection with the Toronto Merger, we acquired five self storage properties located in the Greater Toronto Areas of North York, Mississauga, Brampton, Pickering and Scarborough (the “SS Toronto Properties”). Each property is operated under the “SmartStop” brand. At the effective time of the Toronto Merger, each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of SS Toronto issued and outstanding was automatically converted into the right to receive $11.0651 USD in cash and 0.7311 Class A Units of our Operating Partnership. We paid an aggregate of approximately $7.3 million USD in cash consideration and issued an aggregate of approximately 483,197 Class A Units of our Operating Partnership to the common stockholders of SS Toronto, consisting of Strategic 1031 and SS Toronto REIT Advisors, Inc., affiliates of our Sponsor. We acquired the SS Toronto Properties subject to approximately $50.1 million CAD (approximately $38.4 million USD) in outstanding debt (as described further below), $0.8 million in other net liabilities, and paid approximately $33.1 million USD to an affiliate of Extra Space as repayment of outstanding debt and accrued interest owed by SS Toronto. No acquisition fee was paid to our Advisor for the Toronto Merger. The terms of the Toronto Merger and the execution of the Toronto Merger Agreement were recommended by a special committee (the “Special Committee”) of our board of directors consisting of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the members of which were all of our independent directors. The Special Committee, with the assistance of its independent financial advisor and independent legal counsel, approved the transaction and determined that the Toronto Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Toronto Merger Agreement were advisable and in the best interests of us, were fair and reasonable to us and were on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. In connection with the Toronto Merger, we entered into guarantees, dated as of February 1, 2017 (the “Guarantees”), under which we agreed to guarantee certain obligations of SS Toronto. The SS Toronto loans consist of (i) term loans totalling approximately $34.8 million CAD pursuant to promissory notes executed by SS Toronto in favor of Bank of Montreal on June 3, 2016, and (ii) mortgage financings in the aggregate amount of up to $17.7 million CAD pursuant to two promissory notes executed by subsidiaries of SS Toronto in favor of DUCA Financial Services Credit Union Ltd. on June 3, 2016.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies Distribution Reinvestment Plan We have adopted an amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan that allows both our Class A and Class T stockholders to have distributions otherwise distributable to them invested in additional shares of our Class A and Class T Shares, respectively. The purchase price per share pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan is equivalent to the estimated value per share approved by our board of directors and in effect on the date of purchase of shares under the plan. In conjunction with the board of directors’ declaration of a new estimated value per share of our common stock on April 13, 2017, shares sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will be sold at the new estimated value per share of $10.22 per Class A Share or Class T Share beginning in May 2017. We may amend or terminate the amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan for any reason at any time upon 10 days’ prior written notice to stockholders. No sales commissions or dealer manager fee will be paid on shares sold through the amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan. Through the termination of our Offering on January 9, 2017, we had sold approximately 1.1 million Class A shares and 0.1 million Class T Shares through our original distribution reinvestment plan. As of March 31, 2017, we had sold approximately 0.3 million Class A shares and approximately 50,000 Class T Shares through our DRP Offering. Share Redemption Program We adopted a share redemption program that enables stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances. As long as our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share redemption program with 30 days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide this notice by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K The amount that we may pay to redeem stock for redemptions is the redemption price set forth in the following table which is based upon the number of years the stock is held: Number Years Held Redemption Price Less than 1 No Redemption Allowed 1 or more but less than 3 90.0% of Redemption Amount 3 or more but less than 4 95.0% of Redemption Amount 4 or more 100.0% of Redemption Amount At any time we are engaged in an offering of shares, the Redemption Amount for shares purchased under our share redemption program will always be equal to or lower than the applicable per share offering price. As long as we are engaged in an offering, the Redemption Amount shall be the lesser of the amount the stockholder paid for their shares or the price per share in the current offering. If we are no longer engaged in an offering, our board of directors will announce any redemption price adjustment and the time period of its effectiveness as a part of its regular communications with our stockholders. At any time the redemption price during an offering is determined by any method other than the offering price, if we have sold property and have made one or more special distributions to our stockholders of all or a portion of the net proceeds from such sales, the per share redemption price will be reduced by the net sale proceeds per share distributed to investors prior to the redemption date as a result of the sale of such property in the special distribution. Our board of directors will, in its sole discretion, determine which distributions, if any, constitute a special distribution. While our board of directors does not have specific criteria for determining a special distribution, we expect that a special distribution will only occur upon the sale of a property and the subsequent distribution of the net sale proceeds. There are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares under the share redemption program including, but not limited to: • Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” (as defined under the share redemption program) or bankruptcy, we may not redeem shares until the stockholder has held his or her shares for one year. • During any calendar year, we will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. • The cash available for redemption is limited to the proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, less any prior redemptions. • We have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we received redemption requests totaling approximately $0.4 million (approximately 42,000 shares), which were included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2017, and fulfilled in April 2017. Operating Partnership Redemption Rights The limited partners of our Operating Partnership have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to redeem their limited partnership units for cash equal to the value of an equivalent number of our shares, or, at our option, we may purchase their limited partnership units by issuing one share of our common stock for each limited partnership unit redeemed. These rights may not be exercised under certain circumstances that could cause us to lose our REIT election. Furthermore, limited partners may exercise their redemption rights only after their limited partnership units have been outstanding for one year. Our Advisor is prohibited from exchanging or otherwise transferring its limited partnership units so long as our Advisor is acting as our advisor under the Advisory Agreement. Other Contingencies From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Note 11. Subsequent Events KeyBank Florida CMBS Loan On April 11, 2017, we removed the remaining five properties that served as collateral under the Amended KeyBank Property Loan and, through five special purpose entities wholly owned by our Operating Partnership, entered into a new loan agreement with KeyBank in which we borrowed $52 million (the “KeyBank Florida CMBS Loan”). Pursuant to the loan agreement, the five properties released from the Amended KeyBank Property Loan now serve as collateral under the KeyBank Florida CMBS Loan. The proceeds of the KeyBank Florida CMBS Loan were primarily used to pay down the approximately $47.1 million outstanding balance on the Amended KeyBank Property Loan. The KeyBank Florida CMBS Loan has an initial term of ten years, maturing on May 1, 2027. Monthly payments due are interest-only for the first five years and payments reflecting a 30-year Interest Rate Cap On May 1, 2017, our Operating Partnership purchased an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $90 million, such that as of the effective date of July 1, 2017, LIBOR is capped at 1.25% through December 22, 2018.

Summary of Significant Accoun20

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation Our financial statements, and the financial statements of our Operating Partnership, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The portion of these entities not wholly-owned by us is presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Consolidation Considerations	Consolidation Considerations Current accounting guidance provides a framework for identifying a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In general, a VIE is an entity or other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations. Generally, a VIE should be consolidated if a party with an ownership, contractual, or other financial interest in the VIE (a variable interest holder) has the power to direct the VIE’s most significant activities and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. A variable interest holder that consolidates the VIE is called the primary beneficiary. Upon consolidation, the primary beneficiary generally must initially record all of the VIE’s assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interest at fair value and subsequently account for the VIE as if it were consolidated based on majority voting interest. Our Operating Partnership is deemed to be a VIE and is consolidated by the Company as the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had not entered into any other contracts/interests that would be deemed to be variable interests in VIEs.
Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities	Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities We account for the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership in accordance with the related accounting guidance. Due to our control through our general partnership interest in our Operating Partnership and the limited rights of the limited partner, our Operating Partnership, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are consolidated with the Company and the limited partner interest is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling interest shall be attributed its share of income and losses, even if that attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Management will adjust such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates made include the allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value, the determination if certain entities should be consolidated, the evaluation of potential impairment of long-lived assets, and the useful lives of real estate assets and intangibles.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. We may maintain cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of insured limits, but believe this risk will be mitigated by only investing in or through major financial institutions.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists primarily of impound reserve accounts for property taxes, insurance and capital improvements in connection with the requirements of certain of our loan agreements.
Real Estate Purchase Price Allocation	Real Estate Purchase Price Allocation We account for acquisitions in accordance with GAAP which requires that we allocate the purchase price of the property to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values. This guidance requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, including fair value estimates, as of the acquisition date. Acquisitions of portfolios of facilities are allocated to the individual facilities based upon an income approach or a cash flow analysis using appropriate risk adjusted capitalization rates which take into account the relative size, age, and location of the individual facility along with current and projected occupancy and rental rate levels or appraised values, if available. Allocations to the individual assets and liabilities are based upon comparable market sales information for land and estimates of depreciated replacement cost of equipment, building and site improvements. In allocating the purchase price, we determine whether the acquisition includes intangible assets or liabilities. Substantially all of the leases in place at acquired properties are at market rates, as the majority of the leases are month-to-month in-place, in-place Should the initial accounting for an acquisition be incomplete by the end of a reporting period that falls within the measurement period, we will report provisional amounts in our financial statements. During the measurement period, we will adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date and we will record those adjustments to our consolidated financial statements. We will recognize any measurement period adjustments during the period in which we determine the amount of the adjustment to our consolidated financial statements, potentially including adjustments to interest, depreciation and amortization expense.
Evaluation of Possible Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Evaluation of Possible Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Management monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable, we will assess the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of the long-lived assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, we will adjust the value of the long-lived assets to the fair value and recognize an impairment loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no impairment losses were recognized.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Management believes that all of our leases are operating leases. Rental income is recognized in accordance with the terms of the leases, which generally are month-to-month.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Tenant accounts receivable is reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Management’s estimate of the allowance is based upon a review of the current status of tenant accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that management’s estimate of the allowance will change in the future.
Real Estate Facilities	Real Estate Facilities Real estate facilities are recorded based on relative fair value as of the date of acquisition. We capitalize costs incurred to develop, construct, renovate and improve properties, including interest and property taxes incurred during the construction period. The construction period begins when expenditures for the real estate assets have been made and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress. The construction period ends when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
Depreciation of Real Property Assets	Depreciation of Real Property Assets Our management is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. Depreciation of our real property assets is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows: Description Standard Depreciable Life Land Not Depreciated Buildings 30-35 Site Improvements 7-10
Depreciation of Personal Property Assets	Depreciation of Personal Property Assets Personal property assets consist primarily of furniture, fixtures and equipment and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives generally ranging from 3 to 5 years, and are included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets We have allocated a portion of our real estate purchase price to in-place in-place in-place in-place in-place in-place The total estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ending December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 is approximately $9.8 million, $2.4 million, $98,000, $98,000, and $98,000, respectively.
Debt Issuance Costs	Debt Issuance Costs The net carrying value of costs incurred in connection with our revolving credit facility are presented as debt issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related loan, which is not materially different than the effective interest method. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accumulated amortization of debt issuance costs related to our revolving credit facility totaled approximately $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The net carrying value of costs incurred in connection with obtaining non revolving debt are presented on the balance sheet as a deduction from debt (see Note 5). Debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related loan, which is not materially different than the effective interest method. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accumulated amortization of debt issuance costs related to non revolving debt totaled approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively
Organization and Offering Costs	Organization and Offering Costs Our Advisor may fund organization and offering costs on our behalf. We are required to reimburse our Advisor for such organization and offering costs; provided, however, our Advisor must reimburse us within 60 days after the end of the month in which the Offering terminates to the extent we paid or reimbursed organization and offering costs (excluding sales commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) in excess of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds from the Primary Offering. Such costs will be recognized as a liability when we have a present responsibility to reimburse our Advisor, which is defined in our Advisory Agreement as the date we satisfied the minimum offering requirements of our Offering (which occurred on May 23, 2014). If at any point in time we determine that the total organization and offering costs are expected to exceed 3.5% of the gross proceeds anticipated to be received from the Primary Offering, we will recognize such excess as a capital contribution from our Advisor. Subsequent to the termination of our Primary Offering on January 9, 2017, we determined that organization and offering costs did not exceed 3.5% of the gross proceeds from the Primary Offering. Offering costs are recorded as an offset to additional paid-in We pay our Dealer Manager an ongoing stockholder servicing fee that is payable monthly and accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1% of the purchase price per share of the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering. We will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering at the earlier of (i) the date we list our shares on a national securities exchange, merge or consolidate with or into another entity, or sell or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, (ii) the date at which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of both Class A Shares and Class T Shares in our Primary Offering (i.e., excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan), which calculation shall be made by us with the assistance of our Dealer Manager commencing after the termination of the Primary Offering; (iii) the fifth anniversary of the last day of the fiscal quarter in which our Primary Offering (i.e., excluding our distribution reinvestment plan offering) terminates; and (iv) the date that such Class T Share is redeemed or is no longer outstanding. Our Dealer Manager entered into participating dealer agreements with certain other broker-dealers which authorized them to sell our shares. Upon sale of our shares by such broker-dealers, our Dealer Manager re-allowed re-allow non-accountable
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation For non-U.S.
Redeemable Common Stock	Redeemable Common Stock We adopted a share redemption program that will enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances. We record amounts that are redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets since the shares are redeemable at the option of the holder and therefore their redemption is outside our control. The maximum amount redeemable under our share redemption program is limited to the number of shares we can repurchase with the amount of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan. However, accounting guidance states that determinable amounts that can become redeemable but that are contingent on an event that is likely to occur (e.g., the passage of time) should be presented as redeemable when such amount is known. Therefore, the net proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan are considered to be temporary equity and are presented as redeemable common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, current accounting guidance requires, among other things, that financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of us to repurchase shares be classified as liabilities and reported at settlement value. Our redeemable common shares will be contingently redeemable at the option of the holder. When we determine we have a mandatory obligation to repurchase shares under the share redemption program, we will reclassify such obligations from temporary equity to a liability based upon their respective settlement values. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we received redemption requests totaling approximately $0.4 million (approximately 42,000 shares), which were included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2017, and fulfilled in April 2017.
Accounting for Equity Awards	Accounting for Equity Awards The cost of restricted stock is required to be measured based on the grant date fair value and the cost recognized over the relevant service period.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Under GAAP, we are required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, we are required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring • Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access; • Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities that are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement will fall within the lowest level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. In determining fair value, we will utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Considerable judgment will be necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining fair value of our financial and non-financial Financial and non-financial non-recurring The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, distributions payable and amounts due to affiliates will approximate fair value because of the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. The table below summarizes our fixed rate notes payable at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The estimated fair value of financial instruments is subjective in nature and is dependent on a number of important assumptions, including discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The fair value of the fixed rate notes payable was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize in a current market exchange. March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fixed Rate Secured Debt $ 162,600,000 $ 166,302,688 $ 158,700,000 $ 166,410,537 As of March 31, 2017, we had interest rate swaps on four of our loans (See Notes 5 and 6). The valuations of these instruments were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative. The analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair value of the interest rate swaps were determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments were based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with GAAP, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of derivative contracts for the effect of non-performance Although we had determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives were within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, through March 31, 2017, we had assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and had determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we had determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities We record all derivatives on our balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives are recognized directly in earnings. Amounts are reclassified out of other comprehensive income into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. As of March 31, 2017, all of our derivative instruments met the criteria for hedge accounting.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We made an election to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. To qualify as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the REIT’s ordinary taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gains and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the IRS grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT and intend to operate in the foreseeable future in such a manner that we will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Even if we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. We filed elections to treat our TRS as a taxable REIT subsidiary effective January 1, 2014. In general, the TRS performs additional services for our customers and generally engages in any real estate or non-real
Per Share Data	Per Share Data Basic earnings per share attributable to our common stockholders for all periods presented are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to our common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed by including the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock, utilizing the treasury stock method. For all periods presented the dilutive effect of unrestricted stock was not included in the diluted weighted average shares as such shares were antidilutive.
