Raising outside funds for deals?

[Arun Gokhale]

Hi All,

I'm relatively new to the world of commercial real estate. I've had a string of successes investing my own money and would eventually (after a few more personal deals) raise money from outside sources. I have 0 experience in this form networking. 

I'm wondering if it boils down to just mapping out an investment strategy and meeting with as many contacts as possible to try and generate interest? It seems like an OK plan, but I'm wondering if there's a more organized approach to take.

Thank you!

Arun
