Allow us to introduce Nic DeAngelo, widely recognized as the “fixed income GOAT” in real estate, who leads Saint Investment Group with a $206M portfolio across 20+ states and 500+ mortgage notes. He began his career during the Great Recession by exchanging free labor for hands-on experience—no paycheck required! Through this approach, Nic built top-tier industry connections and refined his deal-making abilities.
Early Hustle:
While many were alarmed by record foreclosures ❗🏚️, Nic noticed that sophisticated investors were in search of revenue.
He developed an LA-based newsletter with 500+ eager buyers and presented it to two family offices, demonstrating his capacity to produce immediate returns.
That achievement propelled him into acquisitions, purchasing distressed foreclosures at significant discounts before founding his own firm.
Building Saint Investment Group:
Nic recognized that investors desired stable, predictable income 💰.
He transitioned from industrial syndications to single-family mortgage investments nationwide, zeroing in on middle-of-the-road suburban markets 🏠.
This strategy routinely achieves 12–14% returns, supported by homeowners’ robust equity and long-term engagement.
Top Takeaways:
Barter for Knowledge: If you deliver genuine value (such as procuring capital), you may be trained without cost 🤝.
Narrow Your Buy Box: Nic focuses on family-friendly suburbs with manageable crime levels 🚔 and strong job growth 💼.
Avoid Foreclosure Pitfalls:
He modifies loans so families can remain in their homes, illustrated by Nic’s ~97% on-time payment
record.
Funding & Returns:
By acquiring pools of mortgages directly from banks, Nic secures discounts while offering reliable yields to passive-income investors 🏦.
Life & Business Balance:
Concentrate on increasing your personal income first, then diversify into fixed-income real estate before undertaking higher-risk ventures ⚖️.
Recommended Reading:
Nic frequently references The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday for stoic perspectives on overcoming obstacles 📖✨.
