Raising Capital For Investments

[Dennis Johnson]

Hey BP family,

      I understand only by trying and trying to raise capital you just have to do it and be consistent.  My biggest question is since there is not a general script, talking to investors over the phone how do you get past the initial introduction.  

Example:  Potential investor's name, hello this my name do you have a minute to talk, sure can it talk with you about a potential opportunity to earn 8% - 10% on an investment secured by real estate.  The next is not interested and then I ask do you know of anyone that may be interested in the same opportunity.   Can someone tell me where in that conversation do I need to fix?

Having a mentor would definitely help just trying to find a way, that has to be a way to get into this business, even if it's on someone else's deal.
