found it thanks! ok so bear with me, so you are saying that in order to have a FINRA licensed broker-dealer to raise money for you, You'd typically need to already have already raised at least about $10 Mil for that particular deal?

So when i speak to people who raise capital for investors or fund managers who are open to doing a fund to fund would they need to have a FINRA license to stay in compliance?

What about the investors who want to raise $3-5m total for a $10m deal, Sounds like thats too small for them if they want to cut bigger checks

would you be open to chatting more in private?

 Are these third-party audits? can you name some providers that perform these audit services?

 What are the most common titles for capital raisers? I normally search equity broker.

I will do that, thanks Chris. Is there a directory for FINRA licenced broker-dealers? Whats the best way to search for them?

And is a FINRA license the only one or would they need a series 63 or series 82 or anything else?

Have you worked with any before? if so; Do you have a breakdown of fee structure with a broker dealer you can possibly share?

These 2 question is for commercial investors and syndicators - 

1. where do you look for capital raisers? If I do a search on LinkedIn, what titles should I look for? I've seen things like "I help people invest in real estate" for example. what should i search for? equity brokers? Syndicators? 

The couple that ive spoken to have different fee / compensation structures. some just want %3 of whatever they raise. ive spoken to a couple that offer a but more than just raising capital and they want to do a co-GP or JV. Id love to hear what some of you offer or have done in the past.

@Evan Polaski I asked for projections VS actuals and got a break down of the last 5 deals the operator completed but anybody could just write that on a spreadsheet and paste it, how would i verify? what should the audit include and would they share it? what else would you ask the operator as a potential LP? Looking for effective operator due diligence / risk mitigation methods

Im in a similar situation, I have a deal that requires 1 million in equity and I have 200k to put up and I need an equity broker to help me raise 800K. Can you guys recommend any brokers or i understand people might not like sharing brokers but can you give me some ideas on how I can find some? TIA

@@Jim Pfeifer Can you define community? do you mean a local rei group?

 What would you suggest for a non-accredited investor? If I reached out to a syndicator would that be compliant?
