E274 Dave Dubeau - Attract Investors, Raise Capital and Scale Your Real Estate Portfolio Quickly Using A Growth-Focused Marketing Strategy
Raising capital efficiently for real estate investment deals is one of the most challenging aspects of a real estate business for new investors and even seasoned ones. Those who are self-financing deals will eventually run out of money and will have to find other ways to finance deals such as using other people's money (OPM). However, real estate investors, both novice and experienced, struggle to connect with potential private investors. What’s an effective way, then, to attract investors and raise capital?
Marketing expert and real estate investor, Dave Dubeau, joins us today to cast light on the all-too-demanding but critical-to-success facet of investing – attracting investors and capital raising. Clocking up years of experience in marketing for capital, Dave takes us through his own personal journey of marketing successes and failures and points us the way to tried and tested strategies in real estate marketing. If you are a novice investor fearful and uncertain about how you’re going to get the funds you need or an experienced capital raiser who even after multiple raises is still unsure of the success of your next raise, then this episode is for you.
