RAISE $4 MILLION DOLLARS WITH PRIVATE PARTNERS -- A NUTS & BOLTS GUIDE

People do not have the same trust in financial institutions that they once had. Many are looking for investment opportunities outside the stock market. Raising private capital can help others achieve financial freedom, while you, as the deal sponsor, work toward achieving the same goal.

This month, the Comal Hays REIA welcomes Amazon #1 Bestselling co-author of "The One Thing Than Changed Everything", Inaky Strick. As former director of investor relations of a private real estate investment firm, Inaky helped to raise $4.6MM in 6 months. His experience extends from single family residences to mobile home parks and international resort properties. Inaky's presentation will provide an overview of raising private capital, to fund your deals.

Some of this month's presentation highlights include >
- Why Use OPM (Other People's Money)
- The 5 Principles of Raising Capital
- Putting Your Team Together
- How Fund Managers get Paid
- Pros & Cons of Investing in a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) 

In addition to learning from Inaky's presentation, attendees will receive a free autographed copy of his bestselling book. This very unique opportunity to learn about raising private capital, to fund your deals, is not to be missed.

Inaky Strick is a Realtor at Kuper Sotheby's International Realty, and helps qualified investors build their cash flow and grow their wealth by providing opportunities to invest in real estate. His experience extends from investments in SFRs, mobile home parks to international resort properties. Inaky believes if you want to be successful at anything, you must surround yourself with the best people and teams.

Since our first meeting in 2015, the Comal Hays REIA has been a nuts and bolts group, diving into the details of investment real estate deals and dollars. Some of the best information is shared informally, between those who show up. Come prepared to learn and to participate.

This month's venue, the San Marcos Public Library, is located right off of the city's main drag, E Hopkins Street. This is the first time our group won't be meeting in a coffee shop. We've secured the large meeting room, located to the left, as you enter the main entrance vestibule. The library opens at 10 AM. We'll be there to set up during the first fifteen minutes, but you're still welcome to join us at 10! Coffee will be provided.

Whether you're a seasoned pro, looking to do your first deal or a total newbie to the real estate investment game, we invite you to come, participate and to network this Saturday!

Paper Profits by @Joshua Andrews is another good read for note investing.

@Crystal Brooks The Comal Hays REIA co-hosted by @Mike Walker and @Chris Koble still meets the last Saturday of the month at 10am in San Marcos. We'll post the details for the next one in the BP events section as the meetup gets closer, but if you are interested in joining the facebook group, PM me, and I'll send you the info (not sure if I'm allowed to post in the forums or not).

Post: Is Seth william’s $2000 REtipster course worth the money?

Like you, I started out listening to podcasts and reading the free info available online. Specifically, @Seth Williams has a LOT of really good free info on his blog for understanding the basic concepts. In principal, land flipping is not that hard of a concept. Do you NEED to take a course to learn how to do it? Probably not. Can a course help you get up and going faster and explain more of the details? Yes.

 A little over a year ago, I decided to sign up for a one year membership for Seth’s course (pricing options may have changed since then, but that was an option back then). Besides being one of the lower priced courses for land that I’m aware of, I liked the way Seth wrote for his blog articles and could tell he does his research before writing something, so I figured the course would be well done. It was (is). He does a very good job of putting the pieces together in a logical order and explains things without a bunch of fluff. The course also goes into more detail than some of the blog posts, although many of the blog posts are part of the course content. He also provides lots of good sample forms, contracts, etc. Seth adds and updates the material as needed, which helps keep it up to date. There is also a private forum where you can ask questions and get feedback from all the members, which is very helpful.

I have only been doing land flipping part time at a pace that works with my busy life, so your results may vary depending on how much time you can put into it. So far I have done two deals start to finish from buy to sell and have 3 more properties that I am working on selling now. I have already recouped all my initial investment (the membership, mailers to date, website hosting, etc), and now am several thousand in the black. 

After my initial year of membership, I upgraded to the lifetime membership because I see the continued value in having access to any updates to the course material and the forums. Was the cost worth it? For me it was.

For the sake of full disclosure, @Amy Aziz, do you work for Land Academy or are you just a member? Your profile suggests you may be affiliated with Land Academy, which is fine. Just thought it would be helpful to clarify for the benefit of the OP.
