Self Storage 101: Find Them, Fund Them, Run Them!

Speaker: Stacy Rosetti

Real Estate Investing – My Journey, My Career My Life

As a real estate investing expert and coach, I have built my name on the results I have created – for myself and for my students.

Investing in real estate has changed my life, opening doors for me and my family and affording me an outlet for all my creative and entrepreneurial energy. Through scaling up a renovation company in Atlanta with hundreds of transactions to learning to invest passively through creative financing deals and storage facilities, I have not only overcome many trials and tribulations, but systematized and organized my days so that I can run several successful businesses.

In addition to investing in real estate myself, I have since discovered another passion in my life – coaching and empowering others. Whenever I see that I have guided someone toward a breakthrough or helped them to transform themselves professionally, I feel deep fulfillment, confident that I am on the right path and reinvigorated to go out and do even more.

In order to share my knowledge with as large an audience as possible, I am currently expanding beyond person-to-person coaching, developing two online courses: Systematizing Your Rehabs to Scale Up and Self-Storage Investing 101. Both of these courses draw on my years of experience in real estate investing and break down my ideas and strategies in a way that even beginners can digest.

401k’s & IRA’s – How To Use Them For Maximum Profit!

Have you been told you can use your IRA or 401k to invest in real estate? You can, but how? And, why didn't my financial advisor ever tell me about this?

At this month’s meeting, we’re going to dig into these questions and more.

We’ll use case studies to show you step by step how to leverage your funds to invest in real estate.

We’re going to talk about how to tap those funds.

We’re going to talk about the various way you can use those funds (flips, rentals, lending, etc.).

We’re going to talk about the gotcha’s (Yup. There’s a few you gotta watch out for) so you stay safe.

And… We’re going to talk about the best kind type of retirement account to have to maximize your investments.

Q&A Session: Private Lending Experts Panel!

Investing in real estate is essentially one of the smartest and safest strategies to promote wealth building. With the proper foundation and knowledge, investing in real estate can be highly lucrative for anyone. But let’s be honest, you already knew that. Of particular interest, however, is what an investor can do with the money they make from a profitable career.

You may want to consider private money lending if one of the following applies to you:

• You are a real estate investor looking to expand your portfolio.
• You are a doctor, lawyer, CEO, or professional of another kind who has a great income or a surplus of cash.
• You have a sizable retirement savings account.
• You are a retiree looking for a passive income investment.
• You are owner of an estate or other trust fund.
• You are a tech entrepreneur who owns a successful start up.
• You are a lottery winner.
• You want to and are able to help out a friend or family member.

I am looking to to continue to grow and work on scaling up to a couple small multi family units and commercial multifamily. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and I am hoping that my path on real estate will allow me more of that
