Using Biggerpockets to raise capital

[Padric Lynch]

What are some of the best ways to utilize BP for finding potential private capital investors? My intuition in general is to offer value, make meaningful connections, be consistent, and show a track record. I'm sure that can be done through forum posts, blog posts, and personal DMs. Does anyone have other insights or best practices that have opened doors in their capital raising efforts?

I think your intuition is correct. It's really just the idea of utilizing the platform to build up your brand in thought leadership. And BP can just be one of many ways to give value.

It's no secret that people like to invest with people they like and trust. I found writing really opened up the doors for us that way especially because it expands your reach quite a bit and can in turn lead into other media opportunities. I was fortunate to be doing this early on for the site so the issue now is....what is there to write about? A lot of has been covered by very smart people so like most creative forms you have to do one of two things: Write about something new or Write about something that's been covered really well.

Hope this helps! Feel free to DM if you have any specific questions
