Hi Sue. Will be in Denver soon as I just passed the real estate exams. Have been on the RE investor side for years so please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you & your partner succeed.  

 Thanks Eric! Just DM'ed you. Looking forward to collaborating in Denver. 

Hi BP community. I have been a real estate investor & startup founder for a few years & wanted to help the RE investor community so I took the National & Colorado State exams. Just passed them both & will be moving to Denver early 2024 to practice in one of the largest brokerages which is located in Downtown.

@Chris K.What other information do you need? Target return for investors is 10%. Do you have any example pitches you have used to get investment? Can you reply with ideas? 

$30k will not be enough for an ADU in San Diego Michael. Having spoken to architects, they have quoted $200-300k for them. I am developing an ADU concept for Qwerky (see my bio for link) and I could help you. I am estimating about $50k per 1 bed micro-unit w/bathroom). You can then rent out the unit on Airbnb. What is cool is that if you want to leave that property, you can either include the unit which would appreciate the property price or take it with you.

I am using shipping containers to build a modular hotel concept. Cost to build 10 units with communal areas would be $300,000. Architect, 3D renderings and land are in place. We would be renting the land and want to get investors on board to launch the project. How would YOU pitch it to make the deal attractive for investors?

- How much capital would you ask for so that people could be hired to manage the community?
- What equity should I give away to the investors?
- What should the hold term be for their capital (2-3 years)?
- Any other things I should include in the pitch?

Having gone to multiple realtors in multiple states, seller financed deals are hard to come by. With my current financial situation, these are the only deals I can do. Is there a website or a way to source seller financed deals only? It can be in any state in the US. 

@Erik Hitzelberger You're right. It doesn't pan out in a business sense. Plus, I'm in CA so any issues, and it's a tricky one to sell/manage. Thanks for your really helpful feedback. 

@Brian Stephens Excellent feedback. Thank you. Of course, the realtor is saying all of the things that will happen soon but nothing concrete. As soon as I buy the place, he does a runner and takes his commission to the bank. This might have to be a pass.
