What if the most powerful financing tool in self-storage has been hiding in plain sight…dismissed, misunderstood, and underutilized by the very investors who need it most?
Joe Downs sits down with Anne Mino, Senior Loan Officer at Live Oak Bank, the #1 SBA lender in the country by dollar volume for self-storage loans, to pull back the curtain on what SBA financing can actually do for self-storage investors.
Anne reveals how a borrower earning $80,000 a year could qualify for a $1 million acquisition, why no prior self-storage experience is required, and how strategic use of SBA loans can turn $300,000 into a multi-property portfolio.
If you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the perfect deal or the perfect balance sheet…this episode is your wake-up call.
