Raising Capital for a Mortgage Fund

Raising Capital for a Mortgage Fund

Looking for Best Practices For Raising Capital.

We manage a non-leveraged mortgage fund yielding 7.2% backed primarily by first lien loans on coastal Southern California real estate. Our underwriting is conservative with an average LTV of 52%.

The focus is steady income and capital preservation rather than chasing higher-risk returns.

Minimum investment is $250,000. 

  Looking for ideas for Raising Capital.   Thank you!!

    As someone who runs a company that does exactly what you do, first I will say it's hard. 
    some things to consider

    1. hiring someone full time to focus on this effort

    2. make sure you do a great job keeping current investors informed

    3. Drop your minimum unless you are over  $100M and or have an extensive third party track record

    challenge we run up against is the Facebook ads of sponsors telling investors they can earn 15%+ (especially orther debt funds), but every one I have ever seen over 15% has gone under (and several sponsors arrested)
