How long would it take you to save 100, 200, 300k? Exactly… A pretty long time. Being so, to me knowing how to raise money is like having the ability to time travel. This being said, what does it take to raise?
First of all, raising is very easy. When you go to a real estate networking event typically half of the room is full of money. Its just, no one is going around asking you to take their money. Instead, what they are there looking for deals they can buy for themselves. This being said, how do you get them to invest in you?
You don’t… What you do instead is ask them exactly what they are looking for and if you were to find such a thing would they be interested in partnering with you to take advantage of the opportunity. Its that simple!
This is one of the ways to raise. Literally everyone that is at an event that is a rehabber is potential a money partner! I mean what is raising anyway? Its getting access to money to do what you want to do right? What is the difference if its through a partnership? NO DIFFERENCE at all!
Now.. you don’t have to do this for your very first real estate deal. I highly recommend you don’t as getting paid is way more important then making more money because at times getting paid an assignment fee is actually more valuable. Get paid, once, twice, 3 times and then slowly transition over to doing partnerships that way you can make larger spreads. Then slowly transition to real raising where you pay people base on cost of capital vs.. giving up 50% partnership.. Point is.. it all starts here so do it up.

It’s finally spring (A snowstorm here or there notwithstanding) and its time to shake off the slow pace of winter and get active. Watching things come alive and grow got me thinking about gardens…planting seeds…cultivation.
You might be thinking, “What does this have to do with real estate?” Stay with me here, there are a few parallels.

With the economy still on shaky ground and lenders requiring that your deal fit neatly into their guideline box, the ability to raise private money has never been more important. You frequently hear people discussing this topic but you might be wondering – where do I begin?
Having raised roughly 10 million dollars over the last 5 years I’ve gotten very familiar with the process but I am by no means an attorney. When raising private money please be sure to seek out a qualified real…
