Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast!
That’s right! We’re talking about a super important part of a self storage investing deal… the financing.
Luckily for us, there are currently a lot more financing tools and willing lenders nowadays than there used to be (man that makes me feel old… lol). Whether you’re going the SBA route, hard money lending, using your own cash, etc. there are obviously certain fundamentals of self storage financing that we need to look at and fully understand. After all, we’re only as good as the tools we have available, and actually KNOW how to use. Not only that, we need to have financing contingencies in place and more to cover all the bases and help ensure our deals actually get done.
We’re going to dive into all this today and help shed some much needed light on the funding and financing of self storage deals.
As always, thank you all for your support!
