Investor from the DC area

[Levi T.]

Hi folks. I'm finally getting around to checking out Biggerpockets, I've been investing in rentals since the housing bubble popped, doing it full-time, learned what works, and what don't by trial and error. We have a decent size team running a solid portfolio. Things have been growing really fast. It's been really good for us last few years, so I decided it was time I dropped in on the forums to find some key answers that I know my business will be facing down the road. We are currently moving about 1.5-2 million in deals per year, but I want to grow faster. So I need to expand beyond standard banks loans, and see what other funding options are right for my business and the size of assets we are buying. So I'm hoping others that have done it, and built a business like this into the 50 million plus range, or a few hundred million, can point me in the right direction on selecting the proper vehicle for funding, and method of raising that capital at the rate of 2-5 million per round, 2-3-4 times a year. — Best!

Welcome to BP @Levi T.. It sounds like you are well above the average guy in this business. Start looking for blanket loans to buy or refinance packages of deals. You are of a  size that some banks may look at larger commercial loans or credit lines for you. 

There are some people here who  understand raising private capital pretty well.If you are not familiar with it you will need to folow SEC guidelines and that can be tricky waters to navigate. @Brian Burke @Joel Block(?) are a couple of  names that come to mind. I believe there have been some podcasts on the subject. If you haven't found them yet the podcasts are great.
