Whether you are just starting out or are transitioning from fixing and flipping, there is a good chance that you struggle with the idea of raising private money. Today, I hope to move your thinking to get you to a point where you know that you can do this. I started out with nothing and was able to do it, and you can to.

I’m going to show you how I transitioned from single family deals to apartment deals. A lot of it is about education and explaining to people what you are doing and what they are getting. I’ve been doing multifamily for awhile, and I feel it is time to give back and tell my story.  

Topics on Today’s Episode:

• The importance of being strategic and saying no to yourself and your wants in the beginning.
• Living the life you have because you lived the life no one else would. We actually moved in with my sister in law when I first started with real estate.
• When raising money, put yourself in leadership positions when you are teaching what you know.
• It helps to be in a place of authority. Raising private money is always done one on one.
• Bring your credibility kit for multifamily and your private money program for single families.
• Ask questions about dreams, goals, etc. Share what you do. Start with the apartment story and how they provide a source of quarterly income.
• People want income, but don’t want to spend down their principle.
• We have learned how to mitigate risk and that is what we do.
• Millenials don’t want to buy houses. They like the flexibility of renting. Baby boomers are downsizing.
• We are good at buying old properties that suffer from deferred maintenance and bad management. We know how to fix fixable problems.
• We specialize in finding old properties fixing these problems and making profit. We buy based on cash flow.
• Most of these investments are five year commitments. Most people are looking for consistency.
• We pay based on cash flow. Every quarter our investors get a preferred rate of return.
• Single family is based on each and every deal. It’s a lot of work. Most people just want to set it and forget or at least not be hassled by it.
• Does that sound like you? This is the buy in.
• But, I don’t know you, and you don’t know me. Do a small fix and flip deal for 90 days. This is the best way to start the relationship and go from there.
• This method can easily unlock current private money.
• The market is super hot, it’s time to transition to cash flow through apartments.
• People will follow you when they know, like, and trust you.
