Quote from @Stuart Udis:

Depending on the transaction sizes you are pursuing, raising money to purchase property without debt requires either an incredible network of relationships or devoting a lot of time and effort to raising money. Why not use bank debt or alternative lender debt if you don't qualify yet for bank originated debt?

Debt is not only the easiest to originate but also recognized as the  cheapest form of capital. Learning how to responsibly use debt is one of the best tools any real estate investor has at their disposal. It will also allow you to focus more of your time and resources in the actual real estate vs. raising capital which usually leads to poor real estate acquisition and operational decisions because raising capital is your full time job leaving an inadequate amount of time for the real estate.

OK, chasing 32unit apartments, acquisition priced between 3.2M - 4.8M. 

So you are saying your primary would be, DSCR? Or bridge?

If raising all cash would be my primary method for funding these apartment deals, what would be your guys contingency in order from most preferred to least preferred. And how would that effect your overall plan?

Quote from @Chris Mason:

If you have the ability to market and raise money, then you secure the down payment, and do the normal commercial mortgage process. LLCs are normal for CRE, so you divvy up the ownership interest how you and your capital partner(s) see fit.

What's your specific question?

 Where would you find a good mentor to fund the emd and down. I am willing to give up my profit in the deal to find a mentor. Do you think I should give up all my profit to just get the first deal done?

Quote from @Melanie P.:

What is the target acquisition price and how much capital do you have ready to deploy immediately? Please summarize your real estate experience.


 How would you structure a 3.2M - 4.8M acquisition price, and let’s say I have no money. But I have investors apart of the GP who is willing to fund emd and DD. I’m a prior realtor, with wholesaler experience and have done some buy and holds in residential properties. But as I discovered, has no real significance to the apartment game, except for the ability to market and raise money. Which I found is pointless unless I alread have a deal

Hey Brandon, can you give us an update on how everything is going?

Quote from @Joshua Christensen:

Very Simple @Jaren Taylor.

You need an SEC attorney that specializes in Syndicates  and more than likely a transaction attorney to set these up for you.  Some will handle both for you.  

No legal advice here, other than get good legal counsel on those two matters.  You will need different attorneys in different states depending on where they are licensed.  

Billing is different for most and more than likely, you'll pay a retainer of some sort up front and have a balance due.  Different with each shop.

Sounds like you haven't done one yet.  Start with a small one on the first couple to work out your system kinks.  It will save you a ton of money upfront and you'll gain the experience to upgrade to larger deals.  


 Thank you Joshua! 

Appreciate this Greg! Would love to add a mentor to guide us through the first deal, we can offer all of the sweat equity and our network that will help fundraise the deal! 

Hello good people of BiggerPockets. I am new to apartment investing, I just wanted to get your guys thoughts on how I should structure a PPM and who I should go to. We are new so funds are very limited, is there a process you guys use to make sure legalities are set up right, and can they charge on the close of the deal?

We are chasing add value apartment complexes of 32 units or more, priced between 3.2M - 4.8M, purchasing all cash while using SOFR or Fannie as contingencies, targeting a 6-8% cap upon entry and want to operate sub 5% for stabilization. Adding $125 - $166 per door boosting overall property value. Paying our investors 6-8% Pref. then proceeding to a 70/30 waterfall split in our favor. WELL, thats what we planned so far. As of right now we are establishing relationships with Brokers, had done some pre marketing for our investors to fund EMD and DD. We set up our CPA, LLC, website, marketing plat forms (social media), investor (sponsors) list, I have an operation manager, acquisition manager, and myself leading the charge. I am aware of 506B and 506D for fundraising. Let me know what y'all think! I am here to learn as much as possible so I am not wasting peoples time or more importantly their money! I'm a realtor in OC, CA. Owned and wholesale residential for the last 5 years, but this is a whole new game to me. Thank you in advance!
