The Self Storage Report

Capital Markets Roundtable: The Truth About Lending in 2026


Listen Later

In this special roundtable episode, we are joined by three of the industry's top capital markets experts: Anna Siradze-Herdina (Talinvest), Andy Bratt (Gantry), and Cody Baker (Baker Capital Partners).

We pull back the curtain on what lenders are really thinking as we close out 2025.

We cover:

  • The "Extension" Problem: Why lenders are done extending loans for stalled lease-up projects and what that means for borrowers stuck at 50-60% occupancy.
  • Interest Rate Myths: The panel debunks the idea that Fed cuts equal immediate mortgage rate drops. We discuss why borrowers are moving to 7-10 year fixed debt instead of waiting for a market miracle.
  • Construction Debt: Why banks have resurged as the primary source for construction loans, while life companies stick to permanent debt.
  • Underwriting 2026: The #1 advice from our panel: Stop fluffing your pro forma. Lenders are scrutinizing rental rate assumptions more than ever, you need data to back up your story.
