We at Trim Financial love stabilized self-storage units with 5 years or more of history. It is the most appealing asset type in the lending market and recently commands as favorable pricing as multifamily or office real estate assets. The stabilized rental history of self-storage units can outweigh location, as some banks can be taken aback on location and may not want to lend given the demographics. A proven lease track record of year-over-year rental stabilization can convince private lenders and brokers like Trim Financial to overlook the less favorable location.
