Summary
Welcome back my fellow self storage investing nerds! (yes I meant every word of that lol). This is your host, AJ Osborne and man do I have an episode lined up for you guys today…
Money. Investing requires money, and a lot of it. That’s honestly probably one of the most common questions I get – how do I get the money, find the money, or raise the money enough to be able to invest in self storage? Everyone wants to know where the money comes from and how that piece of the puzzle fits in the process of buying and investing in a commercial property.
This said, I want to give a huge welcome to an amazing guest – Anna Taylor. Anna is the Head of Self-Storage Lending at Live Oak Bank and she is an absolute self storage lending expert.
In this episode we talk all things self storage funding and financing, we talk market trends and she gives the latest and greatest update on what she’s currently seeing – not only that, she brought a crystal ball and told us exactly what was going to happen in the next 2 years in the self storage and lending industry… Just kidding guys, but wouldn’t that be great!?
All said and done, by the end of this episode you’re going to have an immense understanding of the lending process, general guidelines and things to look out for, and will have the tools necessary to help you effectively close on a self storage investment.
