clock brothers and and our time together
we're gonna be talking about how I'm
raising ten million dollars worth of
capital for real estate deals right now
[Music]
all right guys welcome back in this
video we're gonna talk about how I'm
raising ten million dollars worth of
capital for the year right so a lot of
times what I focus on different things
in my real estate investing career and I
gotta say it's probably the first time
in my real estate investing journey that
I'm exclusively focusing on just raising
capital for now well let me tell you
first off why I'm raising capital but

notification bell we're putting out a
lot of great content and it's awesome to
be the first person in line and same
thing with real estate deals right it's
first it's awesome to be the first one
to know about deal and it gives you a
lot of leverage same thing here guys
right let's practice that same
philosophy so well let me first talk
about why I'm raising ten million
dollars well for me I'm a big economical
nerd I love stunning the markets and
it's something that I've enjoyed doing
more than anything you know a lot of us
have our curiosity some people get
really really into guitars and some
people get really really into coins and
different things like that
well I'm really into learning about the
market and and seeing what other people
think and why people are right why
people are wrong and you know it for me
it's just absolutely fascinating and in
my journey and in my time of studying
the market and also tying that together
with the real estate market and my
investing career well for me I kind of
made the conclusion that right now may
not be the best time to buy properties
you know with the exception of few deals
that I'm doing which are off market but
in terms of multifamily buildings the
ones I usually go for well I kind of
came to the conclusion that it might not
be the best time having said that I also
came to the conclusion that most likely
in about a year to 18 months perhaps
even two years there may be an
ordinary opportunistic time to buy
multifamily buildings and apartment
complexes in about a year or two so
therefore I decided to dedicate myself
to raising capital and I don't know why
I'm saying ten million for example like
you know this video is titled you know
how I'm raising ten million dollars
worth of real estate capital when I've
already kind of done it I've actually
accomplished that 10 million dollar
number about a year ago and we're not
closer to about thirty forty in terms of
commitment to half capital towards deals
that are coming in the future and laying
out my plan and getting everybody on the
same page but in terms of why I'm
raising capital in general on how I'm
raising this type of money is something
that a lot of people have asked me a lot
about a lot of people have asked me
Daniel how do I raise money how do I
raise capital to do real estate deals
and you know aside from being
opportunistic like I am right now and
considering that there may be a downturn
or recession because at the end of the
day no one can really predict you know
when the market you know is gonna do
what you know and I have my theories but
at the end of the day like none of us
really truly ever know you know so I'm
raising money for that but other than
that how do I raise capital for real
estate deals it's simple you know I ask
a different question a mentor of mine
actually told me one time that the best
answers to life are really the questions
and so for me you know I started asking
my mentors to people who've taught me
like hey man like how do I raise capital
for real estate deals and the answer
that gave me is actually an answer that
I give out to everybody else now you
know the problem is in the question the
answer is in the question the problem is
that you're focusing on you all right
you're focusing on how do I raise
capital how do I raise capital so that I
can do deals and that I could create
passive income I didn't realize that if
I put the focus on other people and
adding value to other individuals that's
not going to be a problem
right me is not gonna be a problem as
long as everyone is taken care of so as
long as I have the mindset of wanting to
serve other people and add value to
other people I will be taken care of so
ie right a lot of times when
individuals ask me how do I raise
capital I know that they don't have the
right mindset of adding value to other
individuals not to say that they're bad
investors were they're bad entrepreneurs
that's not what I'm saying
but if somebody has the mindset of
wanting to go out there and they're
intentional about that mindset of going
out there and adding value to other
people well is it gonna be obvious that
eventually you're gonna run into people
who their problem is that they have a
lot of capital and they just don't know
where to put it all right I know I work
with a lot of individuals that have that
problem so I'm the one solving the
problem I'm the one giving them the
solution to that adversity to that
obstacle their obstacle is that you know
I have a lot of capital and I want to
put it in real estate I just don't have
the right partner I don't have the right
individual navigating me through those
waters whereas my obstacle and adversity
a lot of times is I'm very good at
navigating through the markets and the
waters and acquiring the deal but I'm
also looking for that cash flow for me
to be able to do that so you know my
problem and his problem become one
another solution right and that's the
way business is done it's a win-win so
before I say anything in terms of how
I'm raising ten million dollars worth of
capital for real estate deals I
encourage you guys to at least pause the
video or at least think you know what
type of mindset do I have am i asking
the question how could I am I making it
about me or am I actively out there
looking for people for problems to solve
a lot of times that's what
entrepreneurship really is so in terms
of addressing how I'm raising capital
for ten million dollars why don't I
throw out a technique that I use to
raise capital and what I do a lot of
times to do that in terms of how I'm
raising ten million dollars with the
capital or more in this case scenario is
I create what's called a thought
leadership platform well what do I mean
by that well a thought leadership
platform is either online or face to
face preferably a group that you meet
that you organize and you facilitate
that you lead and in my case I run the
meetup I run a meet-up every other week
right every other Saturday or the first
and third Saturday of every month
I run a meet-up in a town called
Naperville
Illinois and I have people show up and I
give up content for free right there's
usually a training but there's also
networking opportunities there's
opportunities for people to sell and
pitch on what they've got going on right
and to share wins and also share
adversities for possible solutions
within the Meetup and you know the
meetups not huge right there's not like
a hundred people that show up right
there sometimes we have ten there
sometimes we have fifteen there
sometimes we are thirty or forty right
and I run a little mastermind I offer a
thirty minute to an hour training and
there's a Q&A session right and a lot of
times that's allowed people to come and
a lot of times again they'll come up to
me afterwards and say hey listen I love
the content you're giving out I actually
have half a million dollars in my bank
account and I love for you to partner
with me and I love for us to be able to
do some real estate deals together guys
I've had that happen many many many
times where I've ran different
masterminds and different meetups and
it's allowed me to network with more
individuals and that's really the point
the point is for you to be able to
network now let's say that you're in a
position where like well Daniel I don't
know enough to be able to run my own
Meetup I don't know enough for me to be
able to you know run a mastermind or to
train people well number one you don't
have to be the person that does all the
training all the time why not have three
or four people who are the guest
speakers and they rotate they they're
the ones providing the training they're
the ones providing the teaching and you
could just facilitate that process and
well point number two if you're an
individual is that saying well Daniel
like I don't I don't have enough
knowledge I don't know enough you know
like I don't have enough material to
train on people well then I would ask
the question should you be raising money
because a lot of times people forget
when you're raising money you're raising
money from people who actually have you
know save that money for life you know
these these are people's hard-earned
capital hard-earned money and for you to
literally use that as a guinea pig and
experiment and just throw it out there
and have no regard well I think that's
kind of wrong I don't think there's a
lot of integrity in that I think if
we're going to raise capital and
literally have somebody's life savings
at your
trol and at your disposal you should
probably at least know what you're doing
right and that means having the
knowledge having the training you know
and investing in yourself you know for
me it's a head scratcher when a lot of
people aren't willing to you know go
that extra mile right pay for coaching
or pay for education but yet they want
to go out and raise millions of dollars
with a capital for me it's just you know
it just doesn't make sense there's not
integrity in that situation so again
