Looking to Aquire an indoor sports venue - needing guidance on how to approach

[Benjamin Sampson]

Greetings all! 

My 7yr old son does Futsal (indoor soccer) and his coach (who is a former professional futsal player) is looking for his own venue. (Currently practices are bouncing between venues). The coach would eventually like to start his own Futsal League. He is serious about it, has a strong vision for this. 

I would like to try and help solve his problem and help him achieve his vision. I have done a lot of investing, to include a little bit in SFR. I have zero experience in commercial investing.

Ideally the coach would like 5+ acres to build 2x outdoor fields, PLUS an indoor facility. I think though in the sort term, if we can aquire an indoor facility we would be able to rent it out for multi purpose and make some money off of it, while at the same time solving his problem of not having his own space. 

What I need help with is: 

- knowing where to start

- knowing the right resources (youtube, books, people) to get in my corner

- guidance on how to crowdfund (I would bring in multiple capital partners for this as the property likely will be expensive...we are in Loudoun County, VA)

- an experienced commercial realestate investor to help with guidance on this process. 

I appreciate any help you have! Thanks so much!
