THE SELF-STORAGE DEAL DESK

Buying a storage facility?
Let’s see what the numbers say.

Send me the deal basics. I’ll look at the questions I would want answered from a lender’s perspective—before you spend weeks convincing yourself the deal works.

A SECOND SET OF EYES

What I’ll want to understand.

I’m a commercial lender and a real estate investor. I look at the story behind the spreadsheet—and whether the deal leaves room after the debt payment.

  • CollectionsWhat actually hit the bank—not just what was billed?
  • DelinquencyHow much “occupied” space is not producing usable cash?
  • RentsWhere are current rents compared with the market?
  • ExpensesWhat changes after you take ownership?
  • Debt serviceDoes the deal still make sense after the loan payment?

START THE CONVERSATION

Have a storage deal?
Send it over.

Give me enough to understand what you are looking at. I’ll follow up so we can talk through the deal and the next questions.

What happens next
  1. You send the deal basics.
  2. We schedule a short conversation.
  3. If it makes sense to continue, we discuss the right way to share the OM, T12 and rent roll.
Is the property under contract?

This opens a prefilled text to Blair. Do not enter or text tax returns, account information, Social Security numbers or financial documents. Blair will explain the appropriate next step for sharing deal documents.

THE QUESTION ISN’T ONLY “CAN I GET THE LOAN?”

Does the deal still make sense after you finance it?

Approval does not automatically make an acquisition a good investment. The structure needs to leave room for operations, improvements, surprises and—hopefully—the next opportunity.
