Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. I wanted to do something different for you for today’s episode and wanted to really focus on why we spend a lot of time highlighting marketing and raising capital on this show. I realized many of you may not know my story, so I’m highlighting an interview I did with Steven Pesavento on his show, the Investor Mindset Podcast.
We talked about my background, growing up in a scarcity environment, making it to corporate America, and ultimately becoming a real estate investor. Much of our discussion focused on raising capital for real estate deals and overcoming the issues that many investors face.
I discuss the 6 C’s of Raising Capital and why developing a marketing plan is critical if you are serious about growing your real estate business.

Educate and inform and position yourself as a subject matter expert.
Developing a marketing strategy is paramount to the success of your business
