Post: Are there private equity syndicators, brokers that help raise money for a fee?

Hello,
Our company is starting to outpace our Friends and Family circles and now that we want to get into the larger properties and need knew streams of equity. Most of the Private Equity shops we talk to say our projects are too small for them as they all seem to have a minimum of 5 million they look to invest per deal.
Right now the projects we are targeting are only in the need for about 1-3 million dollars in private equity.
My question for you is: Are there brokers syndicators that will help you find these equity investors for a fee? I know when we were looking into historic tax credits we found a few people that specialized in just this, helping corporations find tax credit incentives.
I know that crowdfunding is picking up steam and I love their models, but want to know if there are other ways to find equity for your projects.

Hi Tracey,
A little lost by your post, but our group does multifamily investing in Pittsburgh, and would be very happy to speak with you briefly for a few minutes. The majority of our investors are from out of state.
Feel free to send a PM if you would like to discuss further.
Have a good day

Hi @Jerry Kisasonak ,
Mostly we will go to Blue Sky and Katie with standard deals. I have 2 deals with her that will be closing, so send me a PM with some questions and I will forward them and give you her response. She is incredibly efficient and helpful and knows her stuff.
Let me know.

@Greg Gordon , thanks for the heads up will definitely be passing along your information.
@Joel Owens , I understand a little better what you are saying, I guess I didn't really think of the liability issue, which obviously is of huge concern to the broker and understandably so. We will do some looking around, just wanted to gage if $300 was a fair rate and after the comments seems most people are getting better rates. Thanks for your comment

@Steve Ramsey , good advice with the HUD. Most of the houses we will be targeting are going to be affordable housing through my moms non profit so that is definitely a must.
On a side note, my boss informed me a few days ago that we will be relocating to Austin, Texas. We specialize in large multi- unit properties so should you come across any let me know, 70 units +.
@Jon Frame , thank s for your reply. I think right now a low monthly fee but split on commission is ideal.

Hi BP,
My uncle and I want to get started investing, he is looking to get his RE license in Saint Cloud (Minnesota), to access MLS and be able to see houses quickly. He approached a broker and he told him he charged $300 dollars per month to hang his license.
This sounds pretty hefty as we won't be looking for office space or increase his expenses in any way. Is $300 what everyone else is paying?
Thanks
