Explore the changing landscape of storage rents, financial considerations when investing, and the benefits of single asset syndication and funds for LPs. Get ready for a deep dive into the self-storage sector with an experienced investor with Jacob Vanderslice, co-founder of Van West Partners. About Jacob VandersliceJacob Vanderslice is the co-founder of VanWest Partners, which focuses on commercial real estate, including adaptive reuse retail and multifamily properties. Since 2015, they have specialized in self-storage acquisitions and development, with Jacob leading the investor relations team and leveraging his 15+ years of experience in investing and operating self-storage facilities.Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation:[06:21] Self-storage performance during economic uncertainty[13:18] Considerations for acquisition or development decisions[26:07] Consider your financial goals when investing in storage and other fund vehicles[27:55] Why analysis for storage is complicated[29:07] The changing landscape of storage rents[31:56] The pros and cons of the fund to the LPEpisode Highlights:[26:07] Consider Your Financial Goals When Investing in Storage or Other Private Fund VehiclesWhen investing in storage or other private fund vehicles, consider your financial goals. Quick exits for high IRR and low multiples may be appealing, but relying on short-term exits in the current market conditions requires caution. The past trends of compressing cap rates, rising rents, and low cost of capital may not be sustainable. Instead, focus on long-term cash flow, depreciation benefits, and potential capital appreciation. Seize opportunities without banking on immediate sales and be prepared for a longer investment horizon. [29:07] The Changing Landscape of Storage Rents: A Cautionary TaleWhen evaluating storage investments, it's important to be cautious about relying on historical rental rates. Traditionally, investors would analyze T12 rental data, but with evolving consumer demand, this approach is no longer reliable. Acquisitions are now based on more recent data and current market conditions. For example, in Lakeland, Florida, there has been a softening in the market, leading to anticipated rent decreases. It's crucial to access up-to-date information and adjust expectations as historical benchmarks may not reflect the current landscape of storage rents.[32:56] Exploring the Pros and Cons of Single Asset Syndication and Funds for LPsSingle asset syndication provides control and focus for investors who prefer choosing specific deals and markets. However, if an investment underperforms, there are no other sources of value creation to offset the negative performance. Funds, on the other hand, offer geographic and cash flow diversification through multiple properties, balancing out underperforming investments with successful ones. LPs have limited say in deal selection and market decisions in funds and may face challenges such as filing multiple state tax returns. While single asset syndication allows for precise deal selection, it carries higher risk. LPs should consider their preferences and risk tolerance when deciding between these investment options.

The way to survive in your business is cash flow. Cashflow is the key to success in your business. It gets you through the downturn. It pays your operating expenses and your distributions to your investors. Being cash-flow-focused will help you build your financial empire in real estate.

It's no secret that we're in changing times. Economically, socially, and politically the world is pretty darn uncertain right now. The one thing I know however is when the world doesn't know what's going to happen next, there's always opportunity. Whenever there's a downturn in the economy, there's also problems that need to be solved. And if you're the one that comes up with the solutions to those problems, there's a lot of money to be made. After all, any great business is just offering a solution to a problem, or in different terms, fulfilling a need. The trick however is being nimble enough to pivot. See, real estate is always a good investment long term. The trend has always been upward over a long enough period of time. But in an evolving market, what's the best real estate strategy to get behind?Unfortunately there's no easy answer. The amount of statistics and data needed to understand all of the options available is overwhelming. Where do you even start?Thankfully there are people and companies out there that specialize in doing all of that leg work. And the one commonality that I see with all of them is that they focus on one strategy and completely master it before moving on to anything else. Our guest on this episode of “Guide 2 the Grind” is a Principal at VanWest Partners in Denver, Colorado, an investment fund focused on Self Storage. Jacob Vanderslice is a textbook example of someone that has mastered his niche, knows the metrics inside and out, and truly has his finger on the pulse of the market.

I'd like to ask you, Vanderslice,   JACOB VANDERSLICE  43:50   what has got a few thoughts here on the biggest risk? Yeah, risk is a subjective thing to a degree based on who you're talking to. I look at risk as the as the mitigation of a loss of principle. So what is the story on this deal that would have to occur where we would see a loss of capital, and we look at that more carefully than we do the upside scenario. upside is a lot more difficult to quantify. But finding a story that creates downside is what we try to just eliminate. And having in real estate finance when someone crashes and burns. It is almost always because of a cashflow issue. It's always a cash flow issue. There's there's certain circumstances where you can fail not because of cash flow, but you know, something maybe bigger COVID, for example, but we watch our cash flow very carefully, specifically in self storage. And when we buy a given deal, there are two risks to that to that acquisition. I think outside of things we can't control interest rates and cap rates where rates going to be involved. yours where Cap rates going to be in five years, we don't know, right, we can make a forecast we can be conservative. But we can control is our is our net operating income and and our revenue, we have control over that to a degree. But the two risks on a given storage acquisition, we believe are rents where rents today and where rents going to be, and is that revenue stream achievable and reasonable that we've written into our model. And secondly, it's kind of getting in the weeds. But property taxes, I think, are a major risk. And property taxes and self storage are variable just like any asset class from market to market, they're a lot higher in the Midwest than they might be in Denver. But because storage leases much like multifamily are basically full service, meaning the the tenant doesn't pay the property taxes, those come straight out of the bottom line. So if you're accruing for property taxes incorrectly, and you get reassessed, that's going to be a material change in your net operating income as well as the total value of your property. So that's something rents and taxes are something we really analyze very carefully. And to mitigate the risk on the property tax side, we accrue for a tax bill, that's a worst case scenario. So that it is inconceivable the property taxes in the in the foreseeable future will ever go above this figure. And that's what we approved for. And typically, we come in well below that figure, sometimes we get lucky, sometimes it just doesn't get reassessed. We'll do some creative transfer, things where we buy the entity versus buy the deal. But I know that seems kind of in the weeds. But if you think your property taxes are gonna be 100 grand, and then 140. That's a massive Delta. If you put a six cap or a five cap on that 40k In noi, you've missed the mark on your deals value by lots of money.

Our guest is Jacob Vanderslice, a real estate developer and investor with a diverse portfolio. In this conversation, we dive deep into succeeding in closing. We talk about the different ways to fund your deals, the benefits of self-storage investing, and what it's like to connect with institutional investors. Don't miss out on this episode! Learn more about Jacob and his journey at reiclarity.com! “We're not seeing appraisal misses on the self-storage front.”   05:17 At the beginning of our conversation, Jacob explains the basics of a commercial real estate transaction and the closing process that he follows.  Underwriting. Submitting the letter of intent to the seller. Executing the contract. Depositing the earnest money (typically between $50k to $500k). Due diligence and ordering a variety of third-party reports about the property.   The appraisal is a very important part of the closing process. An appraisal is designed for lenders to get third-party validation on the value of the property.  “We think the definition of wealth is durable, recurring revenue that gives you an above-market yield.”   11:22 Jacob has a very diverse portfolio and a big part of it is self-storage. According to him, self-storage has historically been very resistant to recessions and downturns and the revenue stream is very granular and dynamic. His company got into this asset class in 2015 and has only sold 1 out of their 35 self-storage facilities due to the steady cash flow. “Raising capital is all about creating credibility. You're not pitching or asking for money, you're educating someone on the asset class.”    22:10 Jacob explains the difference between a syndication and a fund. Syndication is getting into one single deal, while funds are investing in a collection of assets. Syndications tend to be a bit more flexible.   Jacob likes the fund system and he has self-storage funds. Their first fund was just $10M and their most recent one was around $40M. This is a small amount compared to when institutional investors are involved, as those funds can be around $300M.

How far can you go as a real estate investor?Is there a ceiling on what you can achieve?In short, the only limitations on our personal, and financial growth, are the ones we have in our own minds. That's why it's so important to always be seeking out new ideas, and learning from as many sources as possible. People and ideas open your mind to new possibilities. Being on your own as a real estate investor leaves you with blind spots you don't even know exist. It takes other people, with different experiences and perspectives to shine light into the areas that are darkened by a lack of understanding. Today on the “Investment Property Income” podcast, we have a bit of a different discussion. Jacob Vanderslice from VanWest Partners joins us today to talk about the institutional approach their fund takes when investing in storage and commercial properties. Jacob and his partners have raised a number of funds for real estate investing, and have several million dollars under management. Of course this requires a lot of technical and experiential knowledge. After all, it's not just their money any more. They're managing other people's money too. That's a lot of responsibility. What's really crazy… Jacob started with only one rental property. This is what I mean when I say the only limitations are the ones we have in our mind. Like most RE investors, Jacob started small. As his knowledge base grew, so did his aspirations. Now he and his partners are running a multi-million dollar fund. So I ask you… how far can you go as a real estate investor?

There are many different real estate asset classes with their own pros and cons. In this episode, we take a look at self-storage spaces as an asset class and find out how to leverage them for profit. Shannon Robnett is joined by Jacob Vanderslice of VanWest Partners to discuss self-storage as an asset class. Jacob talks, and he talks about diversification in real estate the best ways to leverage self-storage. If you are looking to learn more about what to look for in a sponsor if you're considering investing in a private real estate fund or syndication and how to take action, Jacob has all the information you need to get there. Tune in and hear what Jacob has to say.

Jacob Vanderslice is a real estate expert and principal of Van West Partners. Jacob has been in the industry for 15 years and counting. He has expertise in fix-and-flips, commercial real estate, adaptive reuse retail projects, and self-storage. His investment firm, VanWest Partners, focuses on the acquisition and management of self-storage centers (in over 8 different states) and other opportunistic commercial real estate throughout the United States. Having bought over 7 properties this year, VanWest has over 195 million in commercial real estate transactions under their belt. Quote: “Whether you're converting an industrial building or a big box retail building into storage, I think the primary risk is that you're forecasting your lease rates years down the road. So you're going from 0 income in place two whatever your performo tells you.” “…Our primary line of defense in mitigating the risk of new supplies, focusing on acquisitions where we can be all in at or below replacement costs. So if a new competitor shows up a mile away, their rents are going to have to be incrementally higher than ours, commiserate with their incrementally higher cost basis, to achieve the same total yield on costs.” Highlight: 1:29 - Jacob deep dives into his real estate journey and what his company, Van West Partners, is all about. 04:15 - Jacob gives an overview of how he ended up in the self-storage asset class. 06:30 - Jacob talks to us about the downside risks associated with big-box conversion deals. 09:29 - Jacob gives listeners an idea of how his firm manages its forecast process. 11:45 - Jacob tells us how VanWest approaches staffing, operations, and automation. 13:35 - Jacob tells his craziest stories while operating in the self-storage space. 15:35 - Jacob discusses deals and how his firm approaches discovering new opportunities. 19:09 - Jacob talks about what he thinks other buyers in his market are doing differently. 21:13 - Jacob provides insight into creating an international brand, ClearHome. 25:11 - Jacob paints a picture of the future of VanWest and ClearHome. 27:49 - Jacob answers the Golden Nugget question and tells us about some of his most notable failures in the industry. 31:38 - Jacob tells us about a time where he and his firm walked away from a deal they were excited about.

Our guest for this episode, Jacob Vanderslice, has been investing full-time in real estate for fifteen years. He started out doing single-family residential investments then got into commercial real estate doing adaptive reuse retail. However, Jacob finds they're not very scalable. So in 2015, he got into self-storage and it proved to be a great asset class for him. Jacob shares that one of the mistakes he has made over the years in real estate was being too transactional. That's when he decided to shift his focus to long-term cash flow investments and found self-storage to be a great vehicle for that. After a few years, they launched their first self-storage fund and the rest is history. Tune in to our #TechandTacticsTuesday episode to know more!

After fixing and flipping nearly 1200 single family homes, Jacob Vanderslice and his 2 partners focused most of their funds into self storage investing. Now, their portfolio consists of $195M in real estate assets. Tune in to find out why they chose self storage over other real estate, 4 ways to know if you're getting a good deal, and why you may reconsider investing in self storage.  Jacob Vanderslice  Real Estate Background: Principal at VanWest Partners VanWest focuses on acquisition and management of self-storage centers Portfolio consist of $195 million in real estate assets Based in Denver, CO Say hi to him at: www.vanwestpartners.com  Best Ever Book: The Kingdom of Ice Click here to know more about our sponsors: Real Estate CFO Services | ThinkMultifamily.com/coaching | Rent Redi | Rentify

After navigating the 2021 real estate market that has shattered all the records, many agents across the nation are, rightfully, ready for a break. This week on the Podcast, Kyle is joined by two fellow REALTOR Magazine 30 Under 30 Honorees, Brad Allen of The Art of Real Estate and Judi Gabler of Gabler Realty. These three Top Producers know just how demanding being a REALTOR can be. From caring for clients' needs, negotiating tricky deals, to meeting an inspector on site, real estate agents are constantly hustling to get the deal done. If you want to keep up the grueling pace, you also have to recharge. Brad and Judi share their best practices for how to take appropriate time off, whether you are about to go on maternity/paternity leave, go out of the country, or just a quick family vacation. Time off is vital to allow you to recharge and come back refreshed. Rest heals your body, reduces stress, boosts creativity, improves productivity, and enhances decision making. Judy, Brad and Kyle discuss training your team, technology solutions to help you stay connected, and how to take a break when you are a solo agent. Tune in to learn more!

REALTOR Magazine Announced their 30 Under 30 Honorees for 2021 and we are proud that honoree Glen Clemmons joins the podcast this week. Glen was only a year into his real estate career when he became a caregiver for his mother, whose complications from Parkinson's disease abruptly worsened in 2017. Moving her into the two-bedroom condo he shared with his wife was both disrupting and eye-opening. He doubled down on working with first-time buyers as the market opened up after COVID-19 shutdowns, boosting his sales volume by 50% in 2020 over the year before. Glen shares his path to achieving the 30 Under 30 honor, the blessings he's received after being recognized, and how he decided to make generosity his central guidepost. Glen believes that when you are generous with your time, talents, and money, you are blessed even more. For every commission check Glen earns, he donates 5% back to the Parkinson's Foundation. As Glen says, “The more I can do, the more I can give.” Tune in to learn more!

EP #173: Doors Open When You Knock Originally from Southern California, Steven Ross began selling real estate there in 2005, and after moving to Colorado in 2009, he built another real estate practice from scratch. Steven says that he was the “worst type of person to be a real estate agent” because: He’s an introvert.  He doesn’t work nights or weekends. You can’t find him online (at least up through 2020). He doesn’t do parties or events. In fact, he’s completely antisocial. Yet he built a successful real estate business twice by doing one thing and one thing only: knocking on doors—over 125,000 of them. In addition to selling real estate, Steven has spent the last 20 years studying and helping people move forward in the areas of life that are important to them.
