Summary
The economy is shuttering: with the Fed raising rates trying to slow down inflation, banks are responding differently to investors than they used to. Developments aren't getting approved as much as they used to. What does this mean if you are wanting to invest in, build, or acquire a new storage facility?
Today we are joined by Anna Taylor, who is the head of Self-Storage Lending at Live Oak Bank and she is an absolute self storage lending expert. She's kept a close eye on the industry over the last decade.
We talk about the market conditions right now, what she's seeing from a lending perspective, and what needs to be done prior to obtaining the loans and financing you may need.
Need help funding a deal? We can help you figure out what type of loan or financing structure you need, and where you can get them. Just send us a message here:
