• Feasibility and Due Diligence
    Jan 16 2021

    Feasibility and due diligence, this is one of the many facets of real estate that Fernando loves. He likes computing numbers and making analysis. 

    This is necessary for the sense that this will make or break your deal. Don’t ever go to a real estate business if you do not know anything about this topic.

    The important thing about self-storage is as soon as they get the numbers from the seller at the same time they also discuss the due diligence. 

    First, check the market. Before you even look at the property itself, before you even do the math for the income and expenses of the property, you have to check the market. Look at the market and the competitors first because in self-storage there is a supply and demand meter that could make or break your deal. 

    Study the supply index number in the area. This is calculated based on the amount of storage in an area divided by the population. 

    To learn more about the feasibility and due diligence with Fernando, continue watching this video.

  • Long term Strategy in Investing in Real Estate
    Jan 15 2021

    Real estate allows you to do a lot of unique things that other investment vehicles like stocks and bonds do not allow you to do.

    Before he proceeds, Fernando would like to remind everybody that he is not an attorney or an accountant, CPA so if you wanted more legal advice about this topic, please do find these professionals.

    One of the things that he always tells people is that if you do not have living trusts or a will set up, you should start putting together your estate planning now. 

    Fernando started his living trusts when he was 23 years old, the reason is you never know when something might happen. If you have loved ones that depend on you, you need to make sure that they are taken care of.  

    The second reason for having an estate plan is to make sure all of your information stays private or semi-private. The worst thing that could happen if you don’t have an estate plan and you passed away then all your assets are subject to probate or probate court. 

     

    What probate does is it alerts the general public that you passed away and if you owe someone money or if someone thinks that they have a right to your property, then they will have the chance to state their claim. That could last from one year up to nine years. 

    For the long term strategy in real estate, rule no. 1  make sure you have a proper state plan. 

    Second, create not only an income for you but more importantly a generational income that you could pass down to your kids. To do so, as we accumulate assets we can delay paying capital gains and depreciation recapture. 

    If you want to understand further, Fernando’s advice in long term strategy in real estate, continue watching this video.

  • Alternative Investment Vehicles
    Jan 14 2021

    What are some alternative investment vehicles that someone can participate in?

    Most people have been trained to get a job, put money into a retirement account, invest in stocks and bonds. Some reasons for this strategy are, it helps drive the economy and the other reason is that the custodians of these retirement accounts get payment when you purchase stocks and bonds.

    Somehow when you invest in real estate, usually, these custodians do not get charge fees. This is also the reason why many people when they go to their fidelity account they are not allowed to invest in self-storage. 

    What you need to do is set up a self-directed retirement account (self-directed IRA/401K). This will allow you to invest in anything you want. Of course, there are certain parameters but for the most part, you are allowed to invest.

    Fernando likes real estate because it’s a physical asset. For him, it’s a hedge against inflation. As the dollar continues to drop in values, at the same time the value of the real estate will also increase to keep up with the inflation.     

    According to him, he also likes real estate because it produces passive income. It allows you to lower your tax bracket. 

    One more reason for Fernando liking the real estate business, the self-storage specifically over stocks and bonds besides being a tangible asset is that he has more control over the outcomes.

    His advice for those who do not have the time to buy real estate or self-storage is to participate in syndications. Meaning you can become an owner or silent partner of one of these real estate investments and get all the benefits of this business without having to do the work.

  • Finance Options & Strategies
    Jan 13 2021

    In this episode, Fernando would like to talk about finance options and strategies when it comes to self-storage. 

     

    Starting from the end then move his way to the beginning. 

     

    The last on the list for Fernando’s finance options is to have stabilized senior debt that is non-recourse. 

     

    A non-recourse loan means that even though you are signing for it if anything happens. For instance, if the market goes down you are not liable for that loan.

     

    This is one of the best types of loans to get to limit your liability.

     

    Usually, to get these seniors loans, these what they call “the stabilized debt”, the property has to be at its maximum potential. It has to be fully occupied, it’s bringing a high revenue and net operating income as much as possible. 

     

    A non-recourse type of loan is one of the most favorable because it has longer terms and has lower interest rates.   

     

    Your next finance option for your property can be a bank loan. This is a recourse loan meaning that you are fully liable regardless of what happens in the market.

     

    If you want to learn more about the other types of financing options and strategies that Fernando is willing to share just continue watching this video.

  • Profit First, The Storage Stud POV
    Jan 12 2021

    Recently, someone asked Fernando how he handles his money management or cash flow management not only for his personal income but with the multiple businesses that he runs as well.

    There is a great book that he would like to recommend and it’s called “Profit First” by Mike Michalowicz. 

    According to him, the basis of Profit First is number one, you have to take a profit. As opposed to what most entrepreneurs do they spend first and then just see if there are some profits left.

    This book focuses on profit first and then compute all expenses to see how much will be placed in operating expenses. If you are not making enough to sustain what you need in the operating account then you must realize that there is something wrong with your system and you need to fix that. 

    There are levels of profit first and how it works is you set up multiple bank accounts for each business or for each venture even for your personal life as well.  It goes all the way from a start-up that is not making any money or revenue all the way up to an F-class business that’s making $50million in real revenue per year. 

    If you continue watching this video you’re going to have a vivid idea of what is Profit First. Listen to  Fernando as he further discusses the details of this book.

  • Advantages Of Joining A Mastermind - Fernando Angelucci
    Jan 11 2021

    For Fernando, one of the reasons why he is finding a lot of success and starting to exponentially grow his different business is because of his ability to stand on the shoulders of giants, to leverage other people, and the network.

    For him, one of the most important things is joining the Mastermind group. Specifically, a Mastermind group that is not geographically tied to your little market.

    What is a Mastermind group?

    This is a collective of individuals in the same industry and in Fernando’s case, it’s the real estate business. They get together quarterly and between those 3 to five meetings each quarter they also communicate through zoom or phone calls.

     

    The great thing about these Mastermind Groups is you can leverage the expertise of the other experienced and smart investors. 

    And, the Mastermind Groups always bring in the greatest keynote speakers.

    If you are interested to know more about Fernando’s experience in joining Mastermind groups just keep watching this video.

  • How A Turnkey Deal Happened - Fernando Angelucci, The Storage Stud
    Jan 9 2021

    In this episode, Fernando will show you how to make a Turnkey Deal.

    A turnkey provider is someone that would buy a property, rehab it, and then they will put a tenant and property management in place and then sell it to what they call “armchair investors.”

    These armchair investors or turnkey buyers typically live in very high-cost real estate markets.

    This turnkey provider was looking at the property. They almost closed the deal but then they realized they couldn’t turn the property into a four-bedroom model; it can only become a three-bedroom model. 

    If you want to know more about the details and what happened to this deal, continue watching this video.

  • Secrets of A Wholesale Deal
    Jan 8 2021

    For this episode, Fernando will talk about a “sticky” deal that happened in  South Holland. 

    Being a sticky deal this gave them the reason to go to a wholesaler or someone who can pay cash quickly.

    This property has a lot of family issues. The father is the owner of the house, the daughter lives in that house but hasn’t been paying any rent as the father’s claim. And of course, the daughter has her own side of the story as well.

    Fernando tries his best to be professional by not taking sides. He still provided his services even though the property is in really rough shape. There are also a lot of things that were done to the house that was not up to code. 

    This could be a problem in selling this house to a retail buyer because it’s going to get an inspection. Because all those issues with regards to the house will come up and the retail buyer is going to ask for a large credit to repair those or else it will not be allowed to sell and transfer. 

    If you are interested in hearing the story of this wholesale deal and how Fernando and his team handled this “sticky” deal, just continue watching this video.
