This would be my first storage facility, currently own several SFHs and Commercial office spaces. 

I was thinking that I might stop by a CapSource office nearby where I could go in person and request detailed information about private money, even though my investment would be in Texas. 

Regarding loan terms changing after the appraisal was done most likely and the appraiser marked the property as being considered rural, is not something a loan officer can entirely know in advance if they are not local to the area. 

Since then, I have been an Army Reserve Officer and command a seafaring logistics unit out of the port of Tampa with over 12 years of service.  

IRS office for individual returns for that state, where the property was located2.

My husband and I each have our own businesses and a shared home office space. 

I have several properties now that the office is closed on Monday or Wednesday during the week as an 'office day' .Depending on when the property is closing out their accounting month, that would be a busy day also. 

This may all sound confusing but it’s easy when you talk to a seasoned Banker/Loan officer.

This is one reason I always advocate commercial loans (where the loan officer has a little more say and flexibility) and using the same bank as much as possible, so your relationship can give sway when less desirable situations arrive.

There are a lot of options, but try to make a list of three things you think the town needs that it doesn't have right near there and that may point you in the right direction by talking to someone at the town office.
