SBA loan for Self Storge Development

[Brandon Jack Reneau]

I am looking for financing for a self storage development. I've spoken to a couple lenders, most of them say SBA is doable but one said I can't get a SBA for a development. 

What options are there for a ground up development? I have enough equity in other assets to develop the property. My fiancé and I have good income/credit.  

Someone mentioned refinancing my properties and buying CDs then getting a line of credit. I'm not sure if that's the best option for us considering the interest rates.
