Seller Financing my first self Storage

I currently have two facilities in Alabama that are seller financed.  Original terms were 2 years on one and 3 years on the other - I renegotiated both of them out to 2029 (total of 8 years) - and really glad I did!  3 years is the minimum you want, try to get at least 5 years - Think of it this way - you probably need 1 year to get it running like you want, and 1 year to 'get it ready' to sell or refinance.  This is not a passive investment either, you will be busy.  Additionally, what is the amortization, or period of years the loan is based on 20?, 25? 30? - The more years, the smaller the payment but the less principal paydown of course.  Also, if you go to refinance you better be above 80% occupancy.   And I'd check out how much the bank will tend to loan - it probably won't be much more the 70% of value - if they like the property.  Self-Storage, being an actual business - can qualify for SBA loans - you may want to check that out.  Think about the end game before you go in - how are you going to get out of the deal later?  I see you are in Brackettville, population 1,360 - is the SS facility in this area?  If so, you will likely be buying and holding it 'forever' - not many buyers for something like that - typically the only folks that want something in a rural area are those looking for a retirement project with a little income - which is a good thing if that is what you want.  Good luck!
