Out Of State Meetup - Out of State Guest!

"The Riches Are in the Niches". As far as we know we are the first Bay Area Meetup group to fly in a Self-Storage Broker from a cash flow state to present of the topic! If you can, come and see why we are so bullish on self-storage!

NOTE: First 100 RSVP's that show are eligible to win a complementary ticket for the 2 day Bay Area Real Estate Summit. (http://www.sfbaysummit.com/) See bottom for details.

Bill Bellomyis a young, successful, Austin based commercial broker. His company "Bellomy & Co" specializes in the nationwide sale and finance of, you guessed it; Self Storage Real Estate! Bill, who is also a self-storage investor himself obviously loves self storage:). In fact Bill is so passionate about this highly profitable asset class that he agreed to lock himself for 5 hours in an aluminum tube filled with germs, screaming babies and 18" of leg room to give us a primer on why he believes self-storage Real Estate is a great investment.

What is Self-Storage?!

At a self-storage facility a customer rents a garage-like unit on a month to month basis. The tenant uses their own lock and has sole access to the unit. This means that the facility does not provide bailment (no care, custody or control over the tenants stored property). Units can not be used to conduct business out of, or to live in:).

Renters that don't pay or break the lease can be locked out of the facility. Because they are not residential tenant their units can be auctioned off by the end of the month without an eviction process, provided that proper procedure is followed.

What Will be Covered in the Presentation?

This presentation will assume zero familiarity with self storage investing and function as a primer on the topic.

First Bill will briefly explain the history of self-storage and go over the aspects that make it unique from almost all other real estate types out there.

Next we get a brief overview of the economics involved in owning and operating a facility.

Finally Bill give a brief overview of his outlook for the market and where he sees the opportunities, and threads, for the (aspiring) self storage operator.

What Will NOT be Covered?

To cover all of self storage in any type of detail you'd need a multi-day seminar. We know, because we attended one of those seminars:). This presentation is intended to be a primer to help you find out if you want to learn more.
