Self-storage remains an active asset class for investors and owner-operators—but financing is highly sensitive to occupancy, unit mix, rent growth, and operator experience. We arrange self storage loans nationwide for acquisitions, refinances, expansions, and value-add plans, matching your deal to lenders that understand storage underwriting.
Self-storage real estate as a business is not for everyone. However, for private investors, small/middle market real estate entities, and family offices that are into it, their need to access self storage loans, commercial mortgages, construction loans, cash-out leveraging, refinancing loan vehicles, CMBS, bridge lending, mezzanine financing, preferred equity, and real estate private equity creates significant activity for us.
Throughout the USA, private investors trust Clopton Capital to help them with the acquisition, conversion, and refinance of self-storage properties. Whether you need working capital, are structuring a deal across multiple owners, or want to expand your assets or access funds from a cash-out refinance, we can help. If you’re looking for a self storage loan, a bridge loan, or a longer-term solution, we’ll help assess the value of the property, stabilize your liquidity, and achieve any investor objectives relating to self storage loans.

A partnership came to us to refinance and cash out of two self-storage facilities located in Washington and Portland. None of the partners wanted to guarantee the loans. They were looking for flexibility in prepayment and long-term fixed rates. We were able to structure a 70% LTV, $4 million & $3 million deals for the two properties with a bank partner that gave them flexible prepayment, a low 7-year fixed rate, 30-year amortization, with non-recourse.
An investor through his LLC wanted to acquire and turnaround a self-storage facility in NC that had been under-performing due to mismanagement by the current owner. He wanted a non-recourse short-term deal that would get him acquisition dollars and rehab money. We structured a $5 million bridge loan with non-recourse, 70% of stabilized value, interest only with a very competitive rate, and it included rehab money for the borrower to execute his plan and implement his turnaround plans.
A trust was looking to cash out refinance a self-storage facility located in Florida. The borrower was looking for maximum leverage, non-recourse, and maximum cash flow. We structured a $7 million CMBS loan that got the borrower 75% loan to current value, over $3 million cash out proceeds in his pocket, a very competitive 10-year fixed rate, and a 30-year amortization. This deal maximized both his cash proceeds and forward cash flow, all while keeping the deal non-recourse.
