How do you raise capital?

You’re ready to invest in multifamily properties but you don’t have the cash or credit to get started.

The obvious solution is to raise money from private investors. But how do you find your potential investors?

It might seem overwhelming, but you can start right where you are.

Here are four things to consider so you can get started now:

1. Network

Talk to everyone you know. Let people know you’re working on something new.

Talk to your friends, your family, your co-workers. Have as many in-person meetings with potential investors as possible.

And don't allow your limiting beliefs to hold you back. Even as an introvert, Camilla Jeffs excels at raising capital.

If your first networking circle is people you know, the second is people you haven’t met yet. You need to build a platform to share your story, but building a platform is more than just a website, it's using social media as your networking stage.
