Talonvest Capital

What Talonvest Capital does

Talonvest Capital, Inc. is a boutique U.S. real estate capital advisory firm founded in 2010 and headquartered in Irvine, California, specializing exclusively in arranging debt financing for self-storage developers, owners, and operators. The firm operates as a capital arranger, sourcing deals directly from borrowers, negotiating loan terms with institutional lenders, and structuring complex financing arrangements across the full self-storage capital stack.

The company's product suite spans five core financing structures: permanent loans (long-term fixed or floating-rate financing for stabilized facilities), construction loans (interest-only financing for ground-up development), bridge loans (short-to-medium term floating-rate debt with performance-based earn-outs and extension options), CMBS loans (non-recourse, interest-only securitized permanent financing), and portfolio loans (multi-asset aggregated financings). Talonvest maintains established relationships across a diversified lender base including life insurance companies, CMBS lenders, debt funds, commercial banks, and unique lending programs, enabling it to match borrowers with optimal capital sources regardless of credit environment or transaction stage.

Talonvest generates revenue through transaction fees on arranged loans, with no publicly disclosed pricing and deal sizes historically ranging from approximately $7.8 million to over $205 million. Its go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise field sales targeting self-storage developers and owners, supported by earned-media press release distribution rather than broad marketing. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, subsidiaries, or ownership structure, and currently employs 11-50 people led by co-founding principals Eric Snyder and Thomas Sherlock.
