I found a way to raise capital at 8% per annum for downpayments but I dont have the knowledge to do due diligence on the product. Are the any accredited investors that would be willing to help out? I'd like to get someone to create an account with the business and see what they think?

The claim is that the business can help you construct a loan at 8% per annum, rate fixed, term forever, interest capitalizing. Need someone sophisticated that can help me understand the details. Please DM me if you can help.

Hey Jeux, it really depends on your market and deal type, but most private equity investors are looking for 8–12% preferred returns on stable deals, and higher on riskier flips or development projects.

So if investors are generally looking for 8–12% on stable deals, and more for flips or development, how do you usually structure your deals to hit those numbers? Do you lean more toward preferred returns, profit splits, or a mix?

Really depends on the risk profile

thanks for clarifying Chris. I guess what I’m trying to get a feel for is the usual range people are seeing, like what investors generally expect on the lower-risk side vs. the higher-risk side. Just trying to set some realistic benchmarks as I’m putting deals together.

I'm looking to get into capital raising for my deals and I'd like to set some reasonable expectations. For people on this forum that raise capital for deals as equity, what rate of return do you typically need to promise to get the capital you need? Just want to understand private investors better so I know the kinds of deals I need to look for to generate the kinds of returns people expect.

I’m still new to real estate, so I really appreciate you sharing this breakdown—it’s super helpful to see the numbers and lessons from an actual deal. I like how you emphasized patience and not being greedy on the bottom line. As a beginner, it’s encouraging to see that even with challenges, you still came out with a solid profit. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hi Jason,

I’m still pretty new to real estate, so I’m in learning mode, but your situation caught my eye. The way developers are moving in and changing the neighborhood sounds like it could be a big opportunity. I’m curious to see what more experienced investors here think about the approach with developers vs. rehabbing yourself. Thanks for sharing—it’s really helpful for someone like me just starting out to see these kinds of real-world scenarios.

I’m not a tax expert, but I’d definitely recommend talking with a professional who specializes in U.S./Canada cross-border taxation since the setup can impact both liability protection and how you get taxed in each country.

Curious to hear what other Canadian investors here have found works best!

Really inspiring to see you taking action this early, Dillon! Getting hands-on experience through internships and REIAs is such a strong foundation. Wholesaling is a great way to sharpen deal analysis skills and build capital for those future flips and rentals. Excited to see how your first house hack unfolds—sounds like you’re setting yourself up for a strong junior year.

That’s an awesome vision, Logan—love how clear and ambitious your goals are, especially at 23! 🚀 Starting with a duplex sounds like a smart move since it builds experience, cash flow, and credibility as you work toward larger deals. If I were in your shoes, I’d focus on (1) networking hard with investors/mentors already active in the spaces you want to grow into, (2) getting really sharp at underwriting so you can confidently evaluate opportunities, and (3) stacking capital however possible while the right first deal comes along.

You’re definitely on the right path—excited to see how you build from here! 👏

Hi Berkcan,

I saw your post about wanting to get into multifamily and build a strong network. I can totally relate — connecting with the right people has been one of the biggest challenges for me too. Out of curiosity, are you mainly looking to invest locally in Virginia, or are you open to out-of-state opportunities as well?
