Any comments about your experience so far in the Warrior Program?

For me, the network of amazing people has been instrumental in getting started in MF.

How did you find this property?

Through a broker who reached out to my partner.

How did you structure the financing of this property?

We negotiated a loan assumption with the seller, used some private equity, and the rest capital we raised.

Was this a joint venture or syndication?

Syndication

How did you raise the equity?

We raised equity through the personal networks of all the partners.

What was the equity raise?

$20 Million PE, JV/LP 8.6 M and GP Equity $1.5 M 

What are some hurdles you had to overcome to get this deal done?

Working with individuals to get PE and trying to raise capital during a time of inflation has been pretty challenging.

What are some of the lessons you learned with this deal?

Have a more robust and active investor list, especially for any deals in Q4 of a given year.

Although we have numerous documented successful deals from our coaching students, we cannot track all of our students’ results, and therefore cannot provide a typical result. You should assume that the average person makes little to no money or could lose money as there is work and risk associated with investing in real estate.
