I started out with house hacking duplexes, then started investing in small multifamily out of state. Then, because friends and family were interested in investing alongside me, I started to get into syndications and raising capital.

I was intimidated by raising capital at first, but then I realized that raising capital isn't so much about selling as it is about educating your investors. 

The best way to start is to start talking to your friends, family, and colleagues about what you're doing in real estate and the success you're seeing. Through that, they'll naturally become curious and interested and want to learn more.

Through those conversations, you can determine whether they're interested in investing with you on future deals. Good luck!
