Self Storage Loans

October 14th, 2008

Every self storage property is evaluated based on its location, size, occupancy, unit mix, age, gross rental income, as well as other factors. A typical self storage property is underwritten with a vacancy rate determined by its market and an operating expense ratio in the 30-45% range. A typical self storage loan is amortized over 25 year and in some cases the remaining economic life the property can justify a 30 year amortization.
