What to consider while making a passive investment in self-storage

Self-storage facilities have emerged as lucrative investment opportunity in recent years. Investing passively in self-storage can provide investors with steady cash flow and significant returns on their investment. However, before investing, it is crucial to understand what to look for when investing passively in self-storage.

Here are some factors to consider when investing passively in self-storage:

Location: The location of self-storage investing is crucial to its success. Look for facilities located in densely populated areas with a high demand for storage units. Additionally, the facility should be easily accessible to potential customers.

Market Demand: The demand for self-storage units in the market is an important factor to consider. Analyze the local market to understand the competition and the demand for storage units.

Occupancy Rates: Occupancy rates indicate the percentage of units rented out at a given time. A high occupancy rate indicates that the facility is in high demand and has a good reputation in the market.

Security Measures: Security is essential in self-storage facilities. Look for facilities that have secure access points, surveillance cameras, and proper lighting to ensure the safety of the customers' belongings.

Maintenance: The maintenance of the facility is crucial to its success. Look for facilities that are well-maintained and have a clean and welcoming appearance.

Management: Good management is essential to the success of any business, including self-storage facilities. Look for facilities with a competent management team that has experience in the industry.

In conclusion, investing passively in self-storage can provide investors with a steady stream of income and significant returns on their investment. However, it is crucial to consider the location, market demand, occupancy rates, security measures, maintenance, and management of the facility before investing. By doing so, investors can make informed decisions and maximize their returns.

I'm terribly sorry if you've been asked this before, but I recently got a payout from a court case. I need to know how to passively invest. Problem is, I've been living poor for about 5 years after my knee injury. I already read a suggested article on your page about ways to invest a $1,000, but I'm looking for which companies are best to trust. Google isn't exactly reliable in that area with all its sponsored ads, so I was hoping if I could ask y'all: If you had about 10k drop into your lap, what is step 1? (and possibly 2 & 3)

We're so glad you asked, kitten. Were I in your situation, below are the steps I'd take.

Step 1: Establish a safety net. You've been "living poor" after an injury, which tells me that a little financial security could go a long way. So establish an emergency fund with some of that money. We recommend keeping an emergency fund in a HYSA (high yield savings account), which are currently returning about 4% across the board WITHOUT the risk of stock market investing. Here's how that works:

Not Every Savings Account Is Created Equal 

You Must Be This Big to Be an Emergency Fund 

Step 2: Invest in low-cost index funds. Do not--we repeat, DO NOT--attempt to pick individual stocks or companies to invest in. Leave that to much richer and more experienced investors. Instead, choose one or a handful of low-cost index funds. These bad boys track the entire market to minimize your risk. Here's how they work:

How To Start Small by Saving Small 

Step 3: Investigate diversified investments. If there's anything left over, you can look into an alternative long-term investment, like real estate, a small business, or even higher education for yourself. This can be a way to invest in something more personal, that you care about. But do your homework to mitigate your risk and figure out what sort of return you'll get. We write more about this here:

Investment Options in India: Diversify Your Portfolio in 2024

Diversification is a fundamental principle of investing, essential for managing risk and optimizing returns. In 2024, as investors navigate an ever-changing economic landscape, diversifying their portfolios becomes even more critical. India, with its vibrant economy, diverse markets, and growth potential, offers a plethora of investment options for both domestic and international investors. In this comprehensive guide, we explore various investment avenues in India in 2024, from traditional options like stocks and real estate to emerging opportunities in startups and alternative assets.

1. Equities: Investing in the Stock Market

Investing in equities remains one of the most popular ways to participate in India's economic growth story. The Indian stock market, represented by indices such as the Nifty 50 and Sensex, offers ample opportunities for investors to capitalize on the country's booming sectors and emerging companies.

- Blue-Chip Stocks: Invest in established companies with a proven track record of performance and stability.

- Mid and Small-Cap Stocks: Explore growth opportunities by investing in mid and small-cap companies with high growth potential.

- Sectoral Funds: Diversify your portfolio by investing in sector-specific mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) targeting industries such as technology, healthcare, and finance.

2. Mutual Funds: Professional Fund Management

Mutual funds provide an excellent avenue for investors to access a diversified portfolio managed by professional fund managers. In India, mutual funds offer a range of options catering to different risk profiles and investment objectives.

- Equity Funds: Invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, including large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap companies.

- Debt Funds: Generate stable returns by investing in fixed-income securities such as government bonds, corporate bonds, and treasury bills.

- Hybrid Funds: Combine the benefits of equity and debt investments to achieve a balanced risk-return profile.

- Index Funds and ETFs: Track benchmark indices like the Nifty 50 and Sensex at a lower cost compared to actively managed funds.

3. Real Estate: Tangible Assets for Long-Term Growth

Real estate continues to be a popular investment option in India, offering the dual benefits of capital appreciation and rental income. While traditional residential and commercial properties remain attractive, investors can also explore alternative avenues such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate crowdfunding platforms.

- Residential Properties: Invest in apartments, villas, or plots of land in prime locations with high demand and potential for appreciation.

- Commercial Properties: Generate rental income by investing in office spaces, retail outlets, warehouses, and industrial properties.

- REITs: Gain exposure to a diversified portfolio of income-generating real estate assets without the hassle of direct ownership.

- Real Estate Crowdfunding: Participate in real estate projects through online platforms, pooling funds with other investors to access lucrative opportunities.

4. Startups and Venture Capital: Betting on Innovation and Entrepreneurship

India's startup ecosystem has witnessed exponential growth in recent years, fueled by a wave of innovation, entrepreneurial talent, and supportive government policies. Investing in startups and venture capital funds allows investors to participate in this dynamic ecosystem and potentially earn high returns.

- Angel Investing: Provide early-stage funding to promising startups in exchange for equity ownership, betting on their growth potential.

- Venture Capital Funds: Invest in professionally managed funds that provide capital to startups and emerging companies in exchange for equity stakes.

- Startup Accelerators and Incubators: Partner with organizations that support early-stage startups through mentorship, networking, and access to resources.

5. Alternative Assets: Diversification Beyond Traditional Investments

In addition to stocks, bonds, and real estate, investors can diversify their portfolios further by allocating capital to alternative assets. These assets offer unique risk-return profiles and can act as a hedge against market volatility.

- Gold and Precious Metals: Hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations by investing in physical gold, gold ETFs, or gold savings funds.

- Commodities: Gain exposure to commodities such as crude oil, natural gas, metals, and agricultural products through commodity futures and exchange-traded funds.

- Cryptocurrencies: Explore the emerging asset class of digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others, which offer the potential for high returns but come with higher volatility and risk.

Conclusion

Diversifying your investment portfolio is essential for mitigating risk, maximizing returns, and achieving long-term financial goals. In 2024, India offers a myriad of investment options across various asset classes, catering to the preferences and risk profiles of different investors.

Whether you prefer the stability of blue-chip stocks, the growth potential of startups, or the tangible assets of real estate, India provides ample opportunities to diversify your portfolio and capitalize on the country's economic growth story. By carefully assessing your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon, you can construct a well-diversified portfolio that withstands market fluctuations and delivers sustainable returns in the years to come.

I love your insights and agree that Jensen’s deal with Amazon seems to fit more like a actor’s holding deal. If I understand how those work, it’s where the studio pays the actor a salary for a year to hold them to try and find a role for him/her in a tv show or movie. Is that correct?

You’ve said Amazon doesn’t pay actors very well, so what is your guess to Jensen’s salary that Amazon is paying him? (Is that how he was able to afford a $10million mansion in Connecticut?)

Do those work like typical salaries (weekly/monthly) or because it was also tied to his production company, was that annual salary paid to him in an upfront sum with hopes the ackles would use the money to develop a project?

given the strike, the ackles cannot develop anything, do they have to refund any money back to amazon?

Thank you and yes, in typical holding deals the actor will receive a salary for at least one year while the studio finds a suitable project for them. Similarly, Jensen would get paid X amount of dollars for the term no matter what. He would get a check every month that comes out of the millions in his deal, this will go to pay for overhead of running Chaos Machine, including employee salaries., office space, etc. So any advanced money the Ackles received is their's to keep even if there are no project(s) for Amazon's original programming.

With that said, I highly doubt that the CMP received the typical starter $10 million for production overheads as the deal was to hire Jensen for his acting (and his fandom). Jensen may have received $1 million in retainer fee instead.

As for the Ackles' ~ investment in Connecticut, he's going to sell that house in a year or two to an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, then use the “sale” and the equity in the CT house to buy another house, just like he did with the Colorado house that was brought when he sold the Austin lake house (at half the market value) to the same trust. For example, if the Ackles put down at least 20% for the lake house, when the property’s value goes up by 20% (and it will), the Ackles have now made a 100% ROI and that’s before considering rents and tax write offs. Then when the houses like the lake house is sold for real in 10, 15, or 20 years, it will be sold at it's actual market price. It's a classic use of these types of trusts to make money by reaping the actual profit from the real sale and on top of the previous profit when the house was first sold into the trust. 

Jensen can easily never work again in his life just by living off his net worth, which I’ve speculated to be 20-25 million dollars and if he invest conservatively his net worth will double in ten years. While he's ~investing in real estates, I suspect his main source of passive income comes from investing in target-date funds, they’re a mix of stocks, bonds, and alternative assets and probably in a collection of mutual funds. If Jensen keeps to the common rule of withdrawal limit of 4%, he’ll have at least $1 million fuck-you money every year, more than enough to cover property tax and he and his family will be comfortably wealthy for the rest of their lives without working. But men need to work, hence why he pitched to WB the ideal of continuing SPN after Jared leaves.

@supernaturalconvert techically the trusts own the houses, and the people currently living at the lake house are paying rent to the "beneficiaries", which are the Ackles.

People on Tumblr are always hyping these news articles about some rich wanker out there, buying up single family homes.

It sucks. Rich wankers are terrible yadda-yadda. Not the point of this conversation. (Burn them)

The thing is that you have some of the worst ideas on how to fix the housing crisis!

Simply because most people aren't super educated on why the housing market is this way.

Ironically, and this might tick a lot of you off. One of the causes of the housing crisis is likely you, or your co-workers, parents, siblings ect...ect.

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/credit-loans-mortgages/090116/what-do-pension-funds-typically-invest.asp

Are you saving money! (I am!)

Do you have a 401K/Pension/Superannuation? (I Do)

Are you invested in a Real Estate Investment Trust?!

Probably.

Most funds have a little bit of REIT in them. The S&P500 is 2.8% REIT,

These mega trusts own vast amounts of American housing.

https://www.reit.com/research/nareit-research/170-million-americans-own-reit-stocks

Yay. Look at this happy graphic that came from a site really stocked about the great returns on real estate investment.

Now. It should be clear REIT actually own a very small portion of American housing, around 1%. Individual owners make up a far larger portion of the housing market.

REIT live in the happy red space.

The problem with REIT is that they are often terrible.

They are bastions of widespread community gentrification. Sweeping into minority communities like Herongate in Canada and bulldozing the lot. All to make way for shinny condos they can turn a profit on.

https://acorncanada.org/news/leveller-rein-reits-tenants-demand-action-against-real-estate-investment-trusts/

REITs have been accused of slumlord like behaviour. Letting houses decay with mold and refusing repair ect. Ect.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tenants-lose-as-landlord-transglobe-racks-up-charges-1.1246084

https://doctorow.medium.com/wall-streets-landlord-business-is-turning-every-rental-into-a-slum-b15b81f18612

Essentially my point is....

You could be invested in the very Real Estate Investment Trust that acts as your landlord. You could be invested in the source of your own suffering and gentrification.

The pension investment in REITs for domestic housing is growing. It is too profitable. It is an easy source of growth.

If you are in a bad situation, you should want your pension invested in an REIT. It will help grow your savings (whatever they be). But, that very same REIT might own your home and be the very evil trying to wring cash out of you.

This isn't a call to action. This is more an observation about the neoliberal shit oroborus we are stuck in. You can choose not to invest in REITs, or try and find a good one.

But in doing so, you are worsening the housing crisis. REITs are sophisticated. They use rent increase software and have quantitative analysis of the market used to drive prices up.

If the housing market ever tanks, a good portion of your savings might tank with it.

Now. You might have no savings. You might not have elderly relying on social security. You might be fine.

But. Society is run by trashfire electoralism. If people don't see their investments going up they freak out and vote for the other party.

The pension investment into real estate, allowed in 2001 (thanks Bush), has created people whose retirements and future are dependent on housing prices always going up. Around 51% of Americans are invested in REITs. It is essentially a nightmare that will never be fixed unless people who are smarter than anyone on Tumblr actually put an effort in.

Thanks for reading my depressing rant.

(Also. Sorry if you are in Canada. It is bad in AUS but it seems like REITs can steal newborns over there. Like some articles are like wtf.)

Title: Who really lives their dream?

Summary: Vince as a pharma tech, alternate reality!

A/n: This is a fluffy wuffy story.

Part Ten

Vince wakes up early and shoots a message to Lula asking if she awake. He hears a knock at his door. It’s Lula fully dressed and ready to go somewhere.

“Everyone wakes up early here” she replies, “The view is scenic around this time.”

She barges her way inside before continuing “Hurry up and freshen up. We’re stopping at my apartment, it’s more private there.”

“Wait,” Vince starts “Does Pierre not know the ‘business’ that we were running.” Lula smirks at him “He asked me what my occupation is, I’m a pharmacist.”

Vince laughs loudly at her.

“Relax Vince. I told him that I use to do extra curricular activities. He knows that it wasn’t something I wanted to talk about so yeah…”

Vince gets in the shower, freshens up and sorts out the gifts going to his relatives. Lula says thank you as she collects her snacks and drops it in the main house. She goes to waits for him in the car.

“Ready?” She asks as he slides in.

“Ready.”

Once they get to the apartment Lula tells the chauffeur to go, she’ll call him once she needs him. She unlocks the door and goes in with Vince right behind her.

“You got a really nice place. Why you living Pierre?”

“It’s more lively at our home” she replies, “plus I need to get comfortable with having lots of people around.” Lula rubs her tummy.

“Are you pregnant? Already?”

“Sikee nigga!!” She laughs, walking to her bookshelf to retrieve a notebook. “I just wanted to see your reaction.”

She hands him a notebook titled ‘p-p memorabilia’.

“I thought you wanted out” he states, flipping through the pages.

“I do. Your mom called a few days back saying that you looked stressed and I supposedly ‘grew it into an empire’” Lula boasts “I kept this book because I still want to have the memories… for when I’m old and grey I guess.”

Lula shows Vince her system from the first month up until she left. Managing the operation alone was hard but it was doable with patience.

“You make this look easy Lula” Vince grumbles.

“Oh it’s definitely not easy, why’d you think I wanted out as soon as you got back?” She replies “Can I suggest something?”

“Yeah go ahead”

“You should cut off the lower clients. It’ll ease up the work load.”

“Hmmm…” Vince ponders.

“You’re not a greedy man Vincent. I’m pretty sure you’re a millionaire right now because I’m not too far behind.”

“You sure you don’t want back in?”

“Nope and I’ll explain why later” she says “Keep the big spenders and inform the others that stock is down. It’s more believable as you’re already on a break till next week. Right?”

“This is why I fucks with you Lula” he taps her head “You’re a little brain box. I appreciate you for real.”

“I know.” She giggles. “So you got this, right? No more worrying miss Anita or myself…”

“Yeah, I know what I need to do” he assures her with a salute.

“Yay! Now get ready to tour Haiti!” She exclaims.

——

The chauffeur pulls up with Pierre in the front seat holding Lula’s favourite snacks and treats.

“Morning Vince” Pierre says, opening the back door for Lula and handing her the bag. “Hey baby girl, everything sorted?”

“ Wi wi amou” Lula replies, giving him a peck.

They drive off as Lula starts the tour, showing Vince around Haiti.

“This is what I put my share into” Lula tells him “All the new tourist attractions including the food spots are Lula funded.”

Vince nods Of course she didn’t invest a dime in Cali, “But before you judge me, our economy needs it more than the USA. Plus lots of employment opportunities for the youth.”

“I ain’t judging you. Here’s your home, I respect it.” He nods.

“Have you told him about the hotels?” Pierre adds, “That’s what made me fall deeply in love with you mon kèr.”

Lula giggles and Vince shakes his head. She so sweet on him, looks good on her He smiles in approval.

“Tell me about hotels cuh” Vince replies.

“My accountant said we may have a competitor, someone trying to get into real estate.” Pierre continues, “30% of hotels across the capital belong to her. Exceptional!” He finishes as he stares longingly at Lula.

——

The following day Lula drives to drop Vince off at the airport, without the chauffeur.

“Just adjust the clientele, minimise orders from one of the wholesalers and you’ll be good to go” She reminds him.

“I’ll think about it.”

“You could manage 2 wholesalers, it’s less hassle.” She suggests.

Vince gives her a reassuring hug to let her know not to worry so much.

“You know I started this without you Lula.”

“But I was factored in from the startttt” she sings. “Let me know when you land and please call if anything.”

Vince boards the flight back to Cali, left to manage the empire by alone.

Epilogue

*4 months later*

Vince and Anita are invited to Haiti for the wedding of Pierre and Lula. Turns out Pierre is an infamous businessman across the Caribbean islands and North California too.

“I knew I recognise his face” Anita says to Vince “He’s the son of Martin. Y’know? Jean’s grandpas last born.”

“Ma I don’t know anyone” Vince laughs.

The reception is beautiful and energetic. Lula steps aside to have bestie talk with Vince.

“Thanks for coming!”

“You’re welcome” He replies. “You know what Lula?”

“What’s up bestie?”

“I guess being a pharmaceutical technician wasn’t my dream. I just wanted to be rich.” She giggles at his outburst and he laughs too.

It’s been a fineeeeee day, he says to himself.
