Are you tired of navigating the rough waters of real estate? Tired of needing a different company for every single aspect of it?  You need a brokerage to buy or sell a home; you need a private lender to acquire rehab properties; you need a management company for rental properties; you need a REIT or similar firm to passively invest your money; and who do you talk to about 'green' homes and net-zero properties?!  The list goes on!

Enter, Fuller Real Estate Solutions.

Now, you can come to one company to satisfy all of your real estate needs!  We are building a company that can do it all.  Currently, we already have the ability to buy/renovate/sell, manage rental properties, and complete retail real estate transactions (currently in Maryland, where the company CEO is a licensed agent).  We also will partner with Fuller Funding LLC (a company owned and operated by FullerRES' CEO) which exists as a private-money lender and broker for real estate investors.

In addition, you don't need to be a millionaire to benefit from real estate investing, nor do you need the time or understanding to go at it alone.  We are creating a system to allow everyone to benefit from the historical strength and long-term stability of real estate, whether you are buying, selling, renovating, or simply looking for a smart way to invest your money.  Currently in the idea-development stage, we have an experienced web developer as well as the codebase required to develop our own platform for investment management and CRM. One key differentiator is that we plan on using this platform to allow monthly, automatic contributions into a real-estate based portfolio, even small amounts. This may use automatic ACH debits and/or may utilize an automated process to round up all debit card purchases to the nearest dollar in order to regularly invest more money without an investor ever needing to worry about funding his/her account.  Whether you have $100 to invest in real estate or $100,000 to invest in real estate, you should not be dismissed.

By investing with us, you will gain immediate access to our current and future portfolio (which currently consists of three single-family residences, all currently rented and being managed in-house).  This means the right to receive annual distributions based on total available cash at the end of each year (please remember the availability of cash for distributions depends on our company's profitability for that year, among other factors, so it cannot be guaranteed). 

In addition, your investment may grow in value if our properties appreciate in value.

However, you aren't only investing for yourself. We believe you are investing for everyone, even our planet.  We believe in making the world a better place, for today and tomorrow.  By partnering with select companies, we will help mitigate the carbon footprints left by our houses, old and new.  This may include paperless workspaces and transactions,  renovations using energy-efficient materials, as well as a patented building process (for new construction) to create net-zero homes in the future (agreements in place with a company using existing, patented and proven construction technologies in addition to agreements with renewable energy and battery storage companies).  We believe there is no reason a company cannot be more profitable than ever using the latest technology to avoid additional negative environmental impacts.

We are here to help the world invest smarter and live better.  Be a part of it.  Invest now!

Jonathan Fuller | Founder and CEO

Investing in a startup does not come without its risks.  Especially if you don't have a clear understanding of what that startup is doing with your money.  So, let us explain.  

1. You invest $100 (the minimum investment amount) in Fuller Real Estate Solutions (let's calls us FullerRES, for short). A group of other savvy investors follows suit.
2. After the Offering minimum $10,000 has been raised, FullerRES may conduct a rolling close in order to pull funds out of StartEngine.
3. Based on our current portfolio, current market conditions, and current and projected working capital, our CIO will make the determination to leverage some capital in up to three (3) different Indexed Universal Life Insurance policies (IULs).
4. The CEO and COO are constantly monitoring the market and analyzing potential deals. Once a target property is selected and placed under contract, FullerRES may leverage its IULs and withdraw any necessary cash to purchase the real estate.
5. FullerRES will purchase the target property(ies) and execute its plan of attack (see details of our various Attack Plans in the next section)
6. FullerRES will manage all aspects of the property.  The COO will manage tenant relations and property management and the Director of Project Management will take care of repairs and renovations.
7. At the end of each calendar year (also our fiscal year), the CEO will work with a 3rd-party accountant to produce financial reports and determine tax liabilities.
8. Based on net available cash at the end of the year, the CEO may begin annual disbursements (in Q1 the following year, if available) as outlined in the A&R Operating Agreement.
9. FullerRES continues raising capital, acquiring/renovating/managing properties, and striving to change the world for the better.

FullerRES Attack Plans

• Buy, Rent - turnkey rentals, often with tenant in-place
• Buy, Flip, Hold - rehab properties suited for rentals
• Buy, Flip, Sell - rehab properties suited for resale
• Buy, Assign - properties suited for wholesaling
• Mortgage/Deed of Trust - partner with Fuller Lending LLC to lend money with real property as collateral
• Net-Zero Development - partner with Net Zero Developers to create net-zero energy homes and offices

We focus on cash-flow.  This means that a majority of properties will be targeted based on their potential to generate monthly cash flow for the company (residential and commercial rental units).  These properties are meant to generate solid cash-on-cash returns with mitigated risk.  However, we also aim to fix'n'flip numerous properties throughout the year, hoping to increase home efficiency and company profits simultaneously.  Wholesaling will be done when a great deal cannot be passed up, but the company feels it cannot or should not handle it in-house. Wholesaling takes up our time, but often does not directly risk capital. Finally, some projects will be best suited for a more hands-off approach, in which case FullerRES may partner with Fuller Funding LLC (in a related party transaction) in order to lend money to investors on a short-term basis, taking only 1st position liens or equity partnerships, or brokering loans through other private lenders. [Fuller Funding LLC is owned and operated by Jonathan Fuller, the CEO of Fuller Real Estate Solutions LLC, and was created to act in partnership with FullerRES on financial transactions in order to help spread liability]

We are a small company.  And we're okay with that... for now. We understand that growth and expansion must be done carefully and in calculated steps.  That is why we have outlined what we believe to be a clear and attainable progression to ensure we succeed.  Check out the planned stages below:

Stage 1 (0-12 months): Company to officially launch and acquire initial properties.  Establish crowdfunding campaign to raise capital for full operations.  Enhance our systems (of property management, project management/renovation, and decreasing environmental impacts) to generate strong revenue streams.  Complete 1-2 residential fix'n'flip projects to enhance overall ROI and cash flow.

Stage 2 (12-30 months): Continue annual crowdfunding campaigns to increase working capital. Complete development of company-branded application for enhanced investment management and CRM. Expand property management services to include some apartment buildings (5-12 units) and small commercial buildings (office and industrial spaces).  Establish and train regional rehab teams in order to complete 2-3 fix'n'flip projects per quarter. Build our first net-zero property.

Stage 3 (30-60 months): Continue annual crowdfunding campaigns. Possible sale of some initial property acquisitions to enhance leverage and positioning. Expand focus to higher-end markets: luxury residential rental properties, vacation homes, and larger commercial units (>$1 million). Establish a national network to help place those in need in suitable communities. Work with growing, national team to increase the development of net-zero homes and offices.

*These stages are meant for planning purposes only and do not guarantee any direct path the company will take. The Officers may change the strategy at any time based on market conditions and company needs.

You may have noticed that our offering appears similar to what you may find in a Real Estate Investment Trust.  You may then ponder the question- Why invest in a startup when I can go find an established REIT instead, especially when they outperform treasury yields (albeit slightly, see graph)?

We knew you were smart and anticipated this concern.  In fact, we thought the same thing when developing the business concept.  However, we couldn't help but feel there was a better way (for investors).  We wanted more for our money and we bet you do, too. That's why we are different.

Typically, REITs exist for a sole purpose: raise money to buy passive real estate investments, distribute net proceeds to investors.

We exist for many different reasons but aim to yield similar (or better) results for investors.  Some things we do our own way include:

1. We exist to make the world a better place, not just to earn an extra buck along the way (but we believe there is no reason we can't do both).
2. We will manage most properties in-house.  This means fewer expenses per property (no third-party management fees, which average 6-8% according to Zillow).
3. We are not a fund, and therefore do not charge any fees on investor capital (this can reach as high as 15% of share price on non-traded REITs and over 7% of offering proceeds on traded REITs)
4. We aim to distribute the most cash to investors, targeting 10% or more in average cash returns per year, in the long-term (*please note this is not a guarantee of performance or of any future return on your investment, simply a company goal).
5. We allow investors to share in potential profits of sold properties, per our A&R Operating Agreement.
6. We set aside 7% of annual profits for charitable purposes.
7. We believe in sustainability, renovating homes with conservation and efficiency in mind and avoiding the use of paper materials whenever possible. Net-zero development is a future goal.
8. We want to fight homelessness, unemployment, and underemployment. As we grow, we will seek opportunities to provide work to those in need, partnering within our communities to provide housing and work to get people back on their feet.

With us, we believe you are investing in a better world.

Like any investment, this does not come without its risks.  There is always the chance that you may lose the entire amount of capital you invest.

However, we do think your money can be used in a way that capitalizes on high returns without subjecting it to unnecessarily high risk (based on management's analyses).

Wait a minute... the housing market already crashed before, so why invest in a real estate company now? This is a fair concern, but you need to know a few things about that.

1. For the right player, there is money to be made in real estate.  Just like the stock market, one can make money in a down market, not just when things are going well.  In fact, take a look at this graph depicting the average yield among REITs. Notice anything strange about the timing of the highest yield? Yep, the up-tick started just as the housing crash was in full downward swing.  Even looking at longer-term data (2000-2011), real estate average returns far surpassed other investment choices. We hope to capitalize on similar results.
   
   We conduct our own market research but also study the opinions of other experts in the field to help identify what is likely going to happen in the market.
2. We have put a few safe-guards in place we believe will help mitigate the risk of loss in down markets.  First, we focus a large amount of energy on creating diversity in rental properties.  Assuming paying tenants are in place, this ensures that, even if the property values decline, we can still generate monthly revenues.  Second, we plan to leverage company IULs to create an additional means of building value. 

If you have read this far, you are probably someone who wants to invest their money. However, you want to be smart about it.  You want to put your money with a company whose managers will treat it as if it were their own money.  You want to ensure the company employing your dollars makes decisions that it truly believes will help repay and build upon those dollars as efficiently as possible, without harming others along the way.

There is a reason that officers and owners of FullerRES are also capital partners.  We put ourselves in the exact position that we expect our investors to put themselves.  This adds additional layers of accountability - when we use company funds, we aren't just using the capital raised through outside investors; we're using our own hard-earned money as well.  That's because we truly believe in our abilities to create success and wealth through this company.  After all, if we didn't believe in ourselves enough to take a financial risk, how could we expect you to do the same?
