REIA Mastery Series | June 24th | Featuring Fernando Angelucci (“The Storage Stud”)
Self-storage looks simple from the outside… until you’re staring at zoning questions, a messy rent roll, and a seller who “doesn’t really track numbers.” This REIA Mastery Series event is built to cut through the fluff and walk you through what it actually takes to buy, operate, and expand a storage facility—using the same real-world approach Fernando teaches and uses in his own business.
Fernando Angelucci, known as “The Storage Stud,” is a self-storage investor, operator, and educator focused on helping investors understand how storage works from the inside—acquisitions, underwriting, operations, and expansion. He’s recognized for teaching storage as a true operating business, with emphasis on systems, market fundamentals, and scalable growth strategies.
Fernando is known for focusing on the parts most people skip: smart underwriting, risk management, operational systems, and expansion strategy. Whether you’re brand new to storage or already own a facility and want to scale, you’ll leave with a clearer plan and fewer expensive unknowns.
What You’ll Learn
This training is designed to cover the full lifecycle of a storage deal, including:
1) Acquisition & Deal Flow
How to find storage opportunities, evaluate sellers, and build consistent deal flow—even when the best deals aren’t listed online.
2) Underwriting & Due Diligence
What actually matters in storage underwriting, how to avoid common traps, and how to evaluate a facility like an operator (not a tourist).
3) Financing Strategies
How storage deals get funded in the real world—including options investors use to compete, structure terms, and close.
4) Operations & Systems
What it takes to run storage clean and profitable: systems, management structure, pricing, tenant experience, and the operational habits that protect NOI.
5) Expansion & Growth
How to think about scaling—whether that means optimizing an existing facility, expanding units, adding phases, or positioning for long-term growth.
Who This Is For
Investors who want to break into self-storage the right way
Owners who want to increase NOI and scale through better operations or expansion
Anyone who wants a real blueprint—not a motivational speech and a few buzzwords
