💰 Raising Equity: The Most Stressful Challenge

Raising equity can be the most challenging aspect of closing a deal. It requires careful planning and diligent execution. Like me, you’ll quickly discover it’s not a walk in the park. I faced numerous hurdles and stressful moments, but I persevered and built a successful approach.

To tackle this challenge, I recommend starting early by building relationships and seeking investors. It takes time to develop trust and credibility with potential investors, so don't wait until the last minute. Preparation is key, and relationships are everything.

When closing a property deal, the funds typically required include a purchase deposit, which is refundable during the due diligence period, and an additional nonrefundable extension deposit. Additionally, a lender deposit ranging from $20,000 to $100,000 is necessary, along with a rate lock-in fee that typically amounts to 2% of the loan amount

In the process of raising equity, it's crucial to be diligent while filling out necessary forms and securing required verifications. Whether it's completing paperwork or obtaining third-party accredited verifications, attention to detail is paramount.

Never assume that raising equity will be easy. It demands effort and persistence. You must be prepared for the process, both mentally and logistically. Sure, it can be quite a process, but with experience and a growing network, it does become more manageable.

Let's go!
