How Susan Used Private Capital

Susan has raised over $26M in private capital through a combination of one-to-one deals and group investments.

She started out by purchasing a number of multi-family residential properties with an average all-in acquisition price (purchase price + repair costs + closing costs) of $175,000.

  • She secured capital for these purchases by finding individual investment partners who could offer the full price of the property. This type of one-to-one investing is called trustee investing, and there are fewer guidelines to follow in these deals.
  • She rehabbed and sold some properties as turnkey rentals to other investors using seller financing by “wrapping” the underlying private money mortgage (and then kept the best properties for her own portfolio). The result is Susan makes money off of these deals and then positions herself as the bank, as opposed to the landlord.

After raising a lot of capital to fund these one-to-one deals through her mortgage company, she started brokering out money for other people’s deals

  • She was paying 7% on the capital she raised, then utilized that money to become a hard money lender.
  • She lent out at 15% with 4 points to investor borrowers with a six-month term through her mortgage company and then kept half of the interest rate in the spread.
  • Put very simply: she borrowed money from Joe and then lent it to Mary at a higher rate, for more money.
