Eager to make it as an investor, Hunter Thompson was up for any
vehicle that has risk-adjusted returns with predictable income and
results. After the European Debt Crisis, which caused great
volatility in the US stock market, it became apparent to him that
real estate is the key. Hence, he became a full-time real estate
investor. Hunter started by pooling funds from family and friends
and to date, he has raised $20 million in private
capital. He is the host of the Cash Flow Connections Podcast,
which helps investors with the intricacies of commercial real
estate. Today, he shares how to grow an investor database,
nurturing leads, choosing operators and the pros of mobile home
parks and self-storage.
