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?
