Best Practices for Raising Capital - Large Multifamily

[Account Closed]

Hey everyone! I am a multifamily syndicator and looking for out of the box ideas on raising capital and filling the top of the funnel.  My background and profession is sales so I'm great at talking to people and turning networking conversations into 1st meetings and eventually investors... but what I'm hoping for are some non-traditional ideas and best practices on non-real estate events/groups to find accredited (and non-accredited) investors.  There are numerous real estate events and conferences to attend- but what I've found is that everyone is fishing in the same pond. Who has some out of the box ideas? Open to anything...let's learn from each other! Thanks in advance :)

@Greg Dickerson hit it on the head. @Alina Trigub references Warren Buffet. @Danny Randazzo suggestion to connect with @Dan Handford or even subscribe to his podcasts will help as well.

The fact that you can naturally associate yourself in first conversations with others is great. Just get in those spaces now. There is no secret sauce or location or thing, its a mixture of being yourself and being in the right places. Also, provide something that your current investors can share with their friends and network and see if they can help make connections for you.
