Advice on Effectively Scaling and Attracting Investors

[Ryan Smith]

Hi everyone,

With what's happening in the stock and securities market, now is the best time for many passive investors. I'm seeking advice on scaling my real estate portfolio and attracting potential investors. Here's a bit of background:

• I have over ten years of experience in real estate.
• I've bought and sold hundreds of properties in the past two years.
• I have six performing rental properties and aim to expand this to 50 by the end of the year.
• I want to expand to doing ten monthly flips with a few developments.
• Also, we have a team of fifteen employees now, with processes and systems to scale.

Given my track record and ambitious goals, I'm exploring ways to attract investors for fix-and-flip projects and rental property investments. I'm curious to hear your insights on the following:

Attracting Investors: How can I attract investors better? Have there been subtle approaches that worked for you?

Marketing Techniques: What marketing techniques or platforms have you used to showcase your track record and attract investment interest?

Networking Tips: How can I leverage industry events, meetups, and online communities to build relationships with potential investors?

I appreciate any advice or experiences you can share that might help me navigate this growth phase successfully.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

 While the stock market is on the roller coaster, getting people to invest in real estate right now is just as challenging or even harder for passive investors to invest in real estate. Why? Because many have been burned over the past few years investing with sponsors who had little to no experience and investors were caught by the glamourous and sexy returns that were being promised that they were getting four years ago but are now gone from big returns to big losses.

So the first question you are gonna have to answer is how do you plan on protecting investors money? What strategies will you implement, who is your team around you to assist with this?

The next piece is marketing which is also challenging, and its best to make sure you have someone who can market and sell. For example, I am not really cut out for marketing and sales so I partnered with someone who is 10x better than me at it. 

Going to events and telling people what you are doing is the best way to start IMHO.
