FEATURE

Naples Bites was established in 2014 when Rafael Feliciano and Steven Segar merged their enthusiasm for dining, fine tuned cocktails, a flawlessly executed event and love for the great city of Naples. The collaboration launched a mission to 1) explore every eatery in town, recounting the experience every step of the way and 2) become a champion for the Naples culinary scene.

Former corporate bar trainer, Rafael, has traveled the country to feast at the best local eats, hole-in-the-wall joints, the undiscovered and the celebrated. Bred in New York and New Jersey, Rafael moved to Florida for college. The former FGCU student and current Real Estate agent combines his diverse upbringing and rich Puerto Rican/Filipino culture to further his appreciation for quality cuisine and exceptional culinary experiences. Rafael is co-owner of Naples Bites and the lead coordinator of Restaurant Week in Naples.

Fellow Real Estate agent Steven Segar is a seasoned world traveler and experienced chef. Steven landed in Naples after a successful run cooking in one of Washington DC’s finest restaurants, 1789, located in Georgetown. After leaving the kitchen, Steven helped conceive, develope and grow one of the first food truck brands in the District.

Subsequently, his efforts contributed to the creation of the food truck industry in DC, new legislation and an industry administration which paved the way for the over 250 branded trucks currently in business.

Steven now owns and operates Selling Southwest Florida Real Estate, Map Me Real Estate and Naples Bites.

Pure. Energy.

Some stories are told in just 6 minutes and 57 seconds. For this story, that is only the beginning. It starts with a hybrid – but one that had to be distinctively Porsche. And with intelligent technology. Our challenge is to move forward with confidence and take a new direction.

What do we need to achieve this? 918 drivers. 918 pioneers. To provide the initial spark and to reignite the old sports car dream. The 918 Spyder represents an entirely new look at the supercar. It heralds the future of the sports car and you can be there at the start.

“Congratulations Bek on selling the first 918 from your dealership!”

PICTURES ARE THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR

Pictures are the single most important factor which may grab the buyer’s attention or cause them to switch to an alternative listing.

In response to wanting to post a listing on the market quickly, quite a few realtors take snaps from their phones and put them up on sites. What they do not realize is that pictures are worth a thousand words and a bad picture can mean an instant negative first impression.

P R O F E S S I O N A L

According to a survey, 80% of buyers look at online pictures of the listings while searching for their purchase; hence it is what lures the buyers in and could easily be what stops the listing in its tracks. Clearly one can realize the impact a good photo can make on the mind of the buyer. Thus it is very important for the realtors to hire a professional photographer instead of snapping the pictures on their own. With growing technology at our fingertips it’s hard to remember that bad lighting or lack of flash, might give a home’s appearance to be smaller or darker - hiring a real estate photographer gives you access to the equipment that will help make your home look as light and airy as it does in person.

When a buyer sees a professional photo of a home he gets inspired and may click through the agent’s website and if he does not the agent has lost the buyer forever.

In our local area, Naples real estate is looked at by the nation as an area to retire to, with some of the most beautiful beaches and picturesque sunsets, some of our biggest selling points are hard to convey in a low resolution image, by hiring a professional you receive the ability to paint the color and truly showcase how beautiful our area is and show the buyer what they are missing by not being here already.

When putting your home on the market, so much thought goes into how to appeal to the perfect buyer, or the perfect personality to sell your home, to start with decluttering your knick knacks to highlighting features that might normally be covered by dirty laundry. Enhancing paints, adding details and then having someone come in and capture every aspect so that the images draw the buyer in and make them visualize the home as theirs, which practically sells it before they even walk through the home.

When showcasing your new listings, buyers and sellers look for an individual that is representative of themselves.

When creating the ideal image for your product, take a moment and revamp your brand, so that you look as polished as your listings. We offer Full Service Photography from Real Estate, Corporate Events, Head shots, Photo Booths and Products — personalized for an individual experience with packages tailored to you.

SELF-DIRECTED IRAS REAL ESTATE HELD INSIDE OF MY IRA GREAT IDEA OR TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

Properly funded and administered self-directed IRAs can be a great way to hold investment real estate. Real estate is often purchased as a diversification away from the often volatile stock market. Unfortunately, most of an investor’s resources may be tied up in a qualified plan or an IRA. Like the annuities, life insurance and reverse mortgages that we explored in a series of articles, selfdirected IRAs have earned a negative reputation for being oversold and unsuitable investment vehicles. However, as with those financial and estate planning tools, selfdirected IRAs can be an excellent and effective tool when used properly and implemented by knowledgeable and principled professionals.

The self-directed IRA used to hold (among other items) real estate is an incredible opportunity for the right investor who understands the rules and uses appropriate experts in the industry. However, there have been numerous lawsuits against companies that administer self-directed IRAs and the dishonest advisers who sell unsuitable investments to owners of these IRAs, including several Ponzi schemes. You see, you are in control and you therefore can choose to make uninformed decisions. Ergo, the term self-directed.

Self-directed IRAs are nothing more than a carved-out provision that permits you the investor to set aside all or a part of your traditional IRA into a separate account administered by a trust company that is set up to hold these special accounts. The administrator handles the compliance work and you the investor select the investment(s). While you are prohibited from holding certain items in a self-directed IRA, such as collections and S corporation stock, you can hold many types of investments -- including real estate -- that a traditional IRA custodian would not be able to handle.

So what is the big deal? The big deal is that IRAs and other qualified plans are exempt from paying current income

taxation. The internal tax-free growth in an IRA can be tremendous over the period years. [Ask your advisor about the greater tax benefits of the Roth IRA – where you pay tax now and then the future growth and the distributions are tax free].

To ensure the income earned on your investment real estate held in the self-directed IRA is not subject to tax, it is critical to avoid certain traps for the unwary: Avoid Debt-Financed Property.

While investment income generally is not taxable, in certain instances, a tax will be imposed on that income if it is derived from an unrelated business (called unrelated business taxable income, or “UBTI”). The tax laws treat investment income that is derived from debt-financed property as UBTI. So if the investment property is purchased using debt, some tax may be imposed.

Avoid Self-Dealing. If you in any way personally benefit (even indirectly) from the investment real estate, say for example, by living or working in the real estate held in the IRA, then certain penalties would apply. An experienced advisor would help you navigate these rules to ensure your real estate investment grows tax free in the IRA. So, the big deal is that it is not complicated to set up or maintain a self-directed IRA and it will afford you the opportunity to diversify into asset classes that are not available in traditional IRA custodial accounts. Your job is to be discriminating in who you select to administer your IRA and do your due diligence in selecting your investments.
