Question about capital raising for a RE private equity fund.
Hey Community!
Does anyone know of any good books, or courses out there that are practical and useful for guiding new RE investors on setting up and raising funds from private equity investors?
I am currently working in commercial real estate in NYC, and part of my job is daily sourcing of off-market deals. I get some good deals that come across my desk, for example, yesterday, I met with an owner of a building on a prime shopping street in Brooklyn, that is willing to accept $7 million for his property even though the building is worth $10 million. I come across many deals like this every week and rather than just brokering the deals and collecting a commission, some of these would make great buy and hold.
I recently came across Sal Buscemi's Investor Syndicate, but it seems a bit pricey at $97 per month. Another one was the Commercial Property Advisor (CPA), but I don't think he focuses on raising money.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
Happy Investing!

@Michael Le Thanks for the reply. I think its pricey because I have bought several courses in the past that sold too much hype. I bought into one of Sal's courses back in 2008 for $1,500 and didn't feel it had much substance.
I totally agree on the networking. I am more interested in learning about the structure and management process of the fund.
