In this episode, Michael Blank delves into the art of raising capital for real estate, highlighting the importance of using other people's money to build a real estate empire. He discusses the common mistakes people make when raising capital and shares insights on overcoming these challenges.
Key Takeaways:
- Understanding Limiting Beliefs:
- Many aspiring real estate investors struggle with the idea of raising capital due to limiting beliefs, such as "I can't do it," "I don't know anyone with money," and fear of using sales tactics.
- Avoiding Common Mistakes:
- Going online for raising money without prior experience is a common mistake.
- Assuming the money will follow once you have a deal is misleading.
- Start raising capital before securing a deal by using a sample deal package.
- The Importance of Networking and Education:
- Real estate investors should educate themselves and others about the benefits of real estate investing.
- Networking and leaving a positive impression are crucial in building relationships with potential investors.
- Referrals and Expanding Your Network:
- Always ask for referrals to expand your network and potential investor base.
- Stay in touch with potential investors to nurture relationships.
- Leveraging IRA Money:
- Many people have significant funds in IRAs or 401(k)s. Educate potential investors on how they can invest their IRA money in real estate.
- Scaling by Raising Money Online:
- Once you've raised money one-on-one successfully, transition to online platforms to scale up.
- Building a strong online presence requires more than just a website; it involves creating valuable content and having a clear target audience.
- The Who, Not How Mentality:
- Emphasize finding partners who can help fill gaps, such as those who can raise funds while you focus on finding deals.
