SBA Loan + Veteran + Self Storage: Lender Recommendations

[Gregory Schwartz]

The title basically says it all. I'm looking for a lender who specializes in SBA loan products, specifically taking advantage of the opportunities available to veterans and self-storage.

My scenario is this: I'm looking to make an offer on a property that is a combo of self-storage (6,600 sf), retail/laundromat (3,200 sf), and self-service car wash (4 bays). I would run the storage and maybe the car wash then rent out the 3200 sqft to a laundromat operator. Currently, the retail space is not occupied and the owner (who use to run the laundromat) is using it as his personal storage space.

Would I qualify for the owner-occupied SBA loan based on this plan? 

What other options are available to me based on this scenario?

Has anyone worked with a lender who can navigate these waters?
