Summary

Where do you get the Money to Fund the Deals? In this conversation, Clark Lunt and David Shaw discuss the importance of money in real estate investing and how to raise capital. They emphasize the need for access to capital at every stage of real estate investing, from beginners to experienced fund managers. They highlight the unique access to capital in the United States and the importance of leveraging it to grow a real estate portfolio. They also discuss the challenges and strategies for funding the first three deals, scaling from three to ten deals, and scaling out commercially to 100 units or more. They stress the importance of dollar cost averaging and frugality in building wealth through real estate. The conversation explores various strategies for acquiring real estate properties with little or no money down. It emphasizes the importance of personal financial discipline, saving, and taking action. The first three properties may require saving and leveraging, while the next few can be acquired through creative methods like buying a business or using subject-to or seller financing. As the portfolio grows, equity can be tapped to fund future purchases. Raising capital through funds or syndications becomes a viable option to scale beyond 20 properties. The key is to be proactive, think outside the box, and be willing to step out of your comfort zone.

Summary

In this conversation, David and Clark discuss the concept of being a lender instead of a landlord in real estate. They highlight the challenges of being a landlord, such as dealing with maintenance and tenant issues, and the lack of immediate gratification. They introduce the idea of becoming a lender and investing in debt funds or hard money lending, which can provide consistent monthly income without the hassle of property management. They emphasize the importance of vetting borrowers and understanding the risks involved in lending. Overall, they suggest that becoming a lender can be a great strategy for generating passive income in the current high interest rate environment.
