Real estate hedge fund?

[Joseph Geizer]

Hi everyone,

I am a small investor at this time, but myself along with a small group of other investors were wondering what the viability would be in approaching a real estate hedge fund or private equity firm for large scale financing to secure future deals? I'm just wondering your general thoughts on how one would approach such a fund. I would think you would want to create a knockout executive summary, outline expertise among members and why it is valuable, show current holdings among members and their performance, identify a niche market to target, and show that there are deals out there that would meet a set of criteria comfortable to both the investors that would form their own entity as well as the hedge fund or private equity firm in terms of risk tolerance. Any other factors that should be considered so we are not potentially wasting time on both ends if we were to seriously pursue in the near future?

I am eager to hear your thoughts about the idea and hear from people who maybe have tried to or suceeded in doing this, regulatory or legal hurdles involved, etc.
