My recommendation would be a documented loan with terms you find acceptable, not a partnership.

If you can generate a return in excess of 8%, then you can borrow the down payment from private investors, or even the entire purchase price if your hard money loan was at a higher rate than this.

Would you be willing to borrow at 8%? I have experience raising capital for down payments if you are prepared to pay investors at this level.

Would you considered borrowing the down payment from friends and family? Borrowing the down payment from other people can be a powerful accelerating strategy.

There are ways of getting started even if you have no track record. You can focus on the mechanics of capital raising, the legal set up, good customer service, that's what I did when I got started nearly 22 years ago. If you're interested in chatting more, I can show you how to give your investors an 8% liquid return without you personally being the person providing that return. As time goes by and you find deals that are attractive, you can deploy your raised capital into those deals. This way you can separate the learning process and don't have to learn everything at once.

Are their people out there that are interested in setting up their own managed fund to fuel their real estate expansion? DM if you are, I've done so and have 22 years of experience doing so. Happy to share the details (for free) with anyone interested.

Austin.

Dear all,

Last week I ran a meeting on what it takes to start a managed fund. Literally filling in this questionnaire (plus $15k in legal fees): https://lnkd.in/gxDHqbq3

Let me know if you have any questions!

Best,

Have you ever wondered what it takes to start a managed fund? Even if you haven't, I hope you'll learn a lot if you come along to a 60-minute meet I'll be hosting this Friday at 5pm Pacific time (details below). I'll be sharing the legal infrastructure I've used to acquire a $4M stake in 1600 doors across 7 states in under 7 months with no money down. The work to be done is to get a fund set up is literally filling in a ~2 page form, which we will do interactively during the meet. Beyond that it's $15k in legal fees and you'll need $100k to seed the fund (money that remains yours). I hope some of the people that come along are inspired to do this too. It's free to come along and just fill in your own copy the form privately so you can learn more.

Dear all,

I specialize in helping people build their own private banks to scale their portfolios. If you'd like to raise capital at 8% and give away no equity, please head over to my website and click on the blue learn more button. I currently manage $9M in client capital and an $18M portfolio (cash, stocks, renewable energy, single family, and multifamily), all while working a job I love (in physics) and having time for my family. I focus on teaching hands-off investing and scalable capital raising. If that appeals to you, then I look forward to connecting with you and helping you do what I do.

Best,

Austin.
