Thank you for the insight, @Stuart Udis. I completely understand your point about starting with a proven track record of purchasing and operating real estate. My background as a commercial wholesaler has allowed me to build strong industry relationships, but I know it doesn't fully prepare me to manage other people's money. I've worked with groups like Sands Investment Group, Hudson Edge LLC, and others, where I primarily analyzed industrial properties with long-term leases and high recent growth potential, alongside stable A-class multifamily properties with value-add opportunities.

While many of the groups I've worked with are hesitant to relinquish control of their investments, my goal is to create a balanced yet diversified portfolio, focusing on high-growth industrial assets and value-add multifamily properties. I agree with your advice on specializing in a particular asset class, and I’m committed to refining my expertise in this area before expanding further.

I wouldn’t personally recommend it, as office vacancy rates are currently quite high. Even if you manage to find an office with an existing tenant, their lease could be approaching expiration, and without plans to renew, it can take an incredibly long time to secure a new tenant for the space. This long vacancy period can result in significant loss of income and added holding costs. Moreover, office spaces often face more competition, especially with the rise of remote work and changing demand in the market.

On a personal level, I prefer industrial real estate for several reasons. Industrial properties tend to have more stable demand due to the increasing reliance on e-commerce, logistics, and warehousing. Additionally, these properties generally attract long-term tenants with longer leases, offering more consistent cash flow

Hey BiggerPockets community!

I’m a young entrepreneur in the real estate space, and I’ve recently started my own company. My focus is on raising capital for acquisitions and acting as a general partner in real estate investments, with a special interest in industrial, multifamily, and retail properties. I’m passionate about the development and redevelopment of these assets.

I come from a background as a commercial wholesaler and have worked with respected groups like Sands Investment Group, Hudson Edge LLC, and Vail Commercial during my time in wholesaling. This experience has provided me with a strong foundation in acquisitions, valuations, and deal sourcing. However, my true goal has always been to develop, buy, and manage real estate—something I've dreamed about since I was 12 years old. I want to work with great people, build long-lasting relationships, and help them grow their wealth while doing what I love.

Here’s where I could use your insights:

1. Raising Capital: What’s the best approach for attracting investors who are interested in partnering on real estate development and redevelopment deals? How did you establish trust with your investors when you were starting out?
2. Acquiring Clients: For those who’ve raised capital successfully and built a strong network of clients, how did you go about finding and nurturing those relationships?
3. Business Growth: As I’m focusing on multifamily, industrial, and retail assets, any advice on how to position my company to stand out in a competitive market?

I’m excited to learn from your experiences and advice. If you’re someone who’s doing something similar or have been in my shoes, I’d love to hear your story and the challenges you overcame.

Looking forward to hearing from all of you!

thank you i hope to meet tons of people here!

My name is David Robertson, and I’ve been passionate about real estate since I was 12 years old. For the past two years, I’ve been diving deep into the world of real estate, and I’ve accumulated over four years of active experience in acquisitions. I’ve worked across various sectors of real estate, from residential to commercial properties, and I’ve built a solid foundation in sourcing, evaluating, and negotiating deals.

Currently, I am leading R&H Capital, a division of my LLC, Property Pulse LLC, which focuses on raising capital for real estate acquisitions. We specialize in helping investors access opportunities in both residential and commercial markets, leveraging our network and industry knowledge to identify high-potential deals. At R&H Capital, we’re always looking to connect with other investors, share insights, and collaborate on new opportunities.

I’m excited to be here in the BiggerPockets community, where I hope to learn from fellow investors, share my experiences, and build meaningful relationships to grow our real estate ventures. Looking forward to connecting with you all!
