Rental Property Owner & Real Estate Investor Podcast

One of the greatest challenges real estate investors face as they scale their portfolio is raising capital. Specifically, raising equity from friends and family in order to get more and bigger deals done.

There's a lot of pitfalls and a lot of mistakes that can be made when you first set out to raise money. That's why you're going to benefit from my conversation with today's guest.

Dave Dubeau works with mom 'n' pop real estate investors to creating marketing plans that successfully raise capital. He's the host of the new podcast "The How to Raise Capital 101 Show".

Today Dave will share his early experiences and failures in attempting to raise funds from his network, and the steps he took to become much more successful. He'll discuss building your investor list and how to communicate your opportunities through a simple and clear process.

Today we're going to discuss affordable housing and how to create more of it.

Over 10% of the U.S. population lives in poverty and struggles to afford necessities such as housing. Over the past decade our nation has not made any real progress in reducing the number of Americans at risk of homelessness. This has led to a dire need for solutions that increase availability of affordable housing options.

There is an opportunity for small business real estate investors, rehabbers, and wholesalers to use small-scale development to increase affordable housing while increasing their profits and helping their community.

My guest today is Michele Williams who advocates for small-scale development and is on a mission to impact all 3,100 counties in the U.S. through legislation and policies to increase our affordable housing stock by 2031.

Today Michele is going to share the solutions that she sees working all across the country. They include accessory dwelling units (ADUs), small houses, shipping containers and co-housing. Michele also discusses public policy and her method for changing the zoning laws and addressing the NIMBYism that often stands in the way.
