Self-Storage Financing
Self-Storage Financing for Storage Facility Investors
Self-storage financing covers acquisition, construction, and refinancing of self-storage facilities, climate-controlled storage, and boat and RV storage. Self-storage is one of the most liquid and lender-competitive commercial asset classes, with strong lender appetite from CMBS conduits, life insurance companies, SBA lenders, and regional banks. Minimum loan size is $1 million, with most institutional capital focused on $3M and above.

Overview
Financing for Self-Storage Facilities and Climate-Controlled Storage
Self-storage has outperformed nearly every other commercial real estate asset class over the past two decades, driven by demographic mobility, apartment downsizing trends, and low operating costs relative to revenue. Cap rates have compressed to 4.5-6.5% for Class A facilities in primary markets, attracting institutional capital including REITs, private equity, and life companies. The asset class is particularly resilient in downturns because both personal and business storage demand holds up during economic stress. New supply has been active in secondary and tertiary markets, creating opportunities for ground-up development alongside acquisition plays. Climate-controlled and Class A facilities in high-traffic suburban locations command the best financing terms.
