SBA 7(a) Self Storage Feasibility Study in Idaho
What SBA's own loan files show about SBA 7(a) lending to self storage projects in Idaho, and what a feasibility study for an SBA 7(a) loan there has to test.
Self storage borrowers under SBA 7(a) in Idaho
Idaho borrowers received 28 SBA 7(a) approvals for self storage during FY2017 to FY2026, a gross $46.2 million. State rank for self storage loan volume is 20, and within Idaho the class stands 13 of 39. The typical Idaho self storage ticket, $1.3 million, sits above the national median for self storage under SBA 7(a) (1.33x), and half of approvals land between $399,250 and $2.4 million. Franchise-flagged self storage loans make up 3.6% of the Idaho cell.
Lenders and counties in Idaho
Idaho self storage holders are Glacier Bank, 9 loans, $7.5 million | Live Oak Banking Company, 6 loans, $18.2 million. Self storage holder names are SBA's. In Idaho, Bonner and Canyon have 5 each, Ada has 4, Valley has 3 and Kootenai has 2 self storage loans.
The FY2017 to FY2026 self storage run
For Idaho self storage, year by year, FY2021 is busiest, with 9 loans and $19.8 million; FY2017 had 3, FY2024 had 1 and FY2026 had 1.
Idaho cancellations and charge-offs
For Idaho self storage approvals the cancellation rate is withheld: Idaho has too few self storage approvals ; SBA 7(a) publishes no stable self storage rate, and self storage readers should assume none. The Idaho self storage loss record is likewise withheld: the Idaho cohort is too small, with scant self storage lending in Idaho, and a missing number is no clean self storage record for FY2017 to FY2021.
Idaho self storage: what the study proves
The central question in Idaho is how much competing storage exists against the demand a site can show. A study should inventory competing facilities and unit sizes, show rents by unit type, indoor or drive-up, and estimate how long absorption takes from opening to a stable census. Land and construction, perhaps phased, go against loans centred near $1.3 million, with coverage tested at slow lease-up. The appraiser capitalises stabilised net income, so expenses and management cost must be defended.
Idaho storage and vehicles
Space for RVs and boats has no code of its own; it falls under this class or other warehousing, so an Idaho plan for vehicles should be supported on its own evidence.
SBA 7(a) self storage loans in Idaho
| Loans approved, FY2017 to FY2026 | 28 |
|---|---|
| Gross dollars approved | $46.2 million |
| Median loan | $1.3 million |
| Middle half of loans, from | $399,250 |
| Middle half of loans, to | $2.4 million |
| Franchise share of loans | 3.6% |
| Rank among states for SBA 7(a) self storage loans, by number of loans | 20 |
| Rank of self storage among classes in Idaho | 13 of 39 |
| Median loan against the national SBA 7(a) median for the class | 1.33x |
Cancellation and charge-off
| Cancelled after approval, FY2017 to FY2024 approvals (a floor) | not reported: fewer than 30 loans in the cohort |
|---|---|
| Charged off to date, FY2017 to FY2021 disbursed loans (a floor) | not reported: fewer than 30 loans in the cohort |
Both rates are floors. SBA withholds the status of open loans, so a loan counts as charged off only once SBA reports it; a rate needs at least 30 loans in its cohort and is otherwise not reported.

RV and boat storage cannot be separated from self storage. Shared code: RV and boat storage has no own code; it is self storage (531130) or other warehousing (493190).
