SBA 7(a) Self Storage Feasibility Study in Oregon
What SBA's own loan files show about SBA 7(a) lending to self storage projects in Oregon, and what a feasibility study for an SBA 7(a) loan there has to test.
What Oregon adds to the national self storage picture
Set beside the country, Oregon contributes 28 SBA 7(a) loans for self storage projects, $47.8 million overall, FY2017 to FY2026. In Oregon the class stands 20 of 39, and Oregon itself ranks 20 among states for self storage. The $1.4 million median is 1.45x of the self storage median nationwide under SBA 7(a), so Oregon sits above what self storage tickets show elsewhere. In Oregon, half of self storage loans fall from $668,500 to $2.3 million, and franchising marks 3.6% of Oregon self storage loans.
The self storage holder table and map for Oregon
Live Oak Banking Company tops the Oregon self storage holder list on 20 loans and $39.1 million. Oregon names follow SBA's current-holder field. Deschutes County, 4 loans, Curry County, 3 loans, Clatsop County, 2 loans, Columbia County, 2 loans and Douglas County, 2 loans: those are the leading Oregon self storage places.
Year-by-year volume in Oregon
The Oregon self storage record opens at 1 loan and $1.8 million in FY2017, peaks at 7 loans ($4.8 million) in FY2025, and Oregon closes the series at 4 loans and $9.3 million in FY2026.
Floors for self storage lenders to read
The Oregon self storage cancellation rate is held back: self storage approvals are too few, so this Oregon page offers no self storage figure for it. For Oregon self storage loans, no Oregon charge-off rate is shown for self storage funded FY2017 to FY2021: the Oregon cohort is under the threshold, and for self storage that is not zero.
Oregon self storage: questions behind the loan
An Oregon project is tested on local supply and permitting. The study should map competing facilities and rents, document how fast comparable units filled, and show the land use approvals needed. Construction and any later phases are set against loans around $1.4 million, coverage is shown at a gradual lease-up, and the appraiser will value stabilised net income. Fire access, drainage and stormwater rules can add cost.
Oregon storage and vehicle bays
Vehicle storage cannot be separated from self storage; a Oregon plan built around RVs or boats should come with its own demand evidence.

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.
