    Unlock Millions: Raise Capital from Family Offices Today

    Join an active community of RE investors here: https://linktr.ee/gabepetersen WHAT IS A FAMILY OFFICE AND WHY SHOULD EVERY REAL ESTATE INVESTOR KNOW THIS? In this episode of The Real Estate Investing Club, host Gabriel Petersen sits down with Richard C. Wilson — founder of FamilyOffices.com and the Family Office Club — to uncover one of the most powerful and underutilized capital sources in real estate investing. If you've been wondering how to raise capital for your next syndication or private equity deal, this is your roadmap. 🏦💰 The family office industry is larger than all of private equity and all of venture capital combined, yet most investors have never learned how to access it. Richard has spent 19 years mastering this space, and today he shares everything. HOW TO RAISE CAPITAL FROM ULTRA-WEALTHY INVESTORS AND FAMILY OFFICES Richard shares battle-tested strategies for approaching family offices and high-net-worth investors. According to research by Dr. Robert Cialdini, you are 16 times more likely to close a deal in person — and Richard explains why that matters even more in an era where AI can fake virtually everything digitally. 🤝 He walks through what ultra-wealthy investors want to see, from a sharp one-liner pitch and a one-minute video to a concise 15-page pitch deck rather than a bloated 44-page one. Trust — in the person, the market, and the opportunity — is the only currency that matters when competing for the top 0.1% of deal flow. HOW TO START AND GROW YOUR OWN REAL ESTATE INVESTOR CLUB One of the most eye-opening parts of this conversation is Richard's breakdown of building niche investor clubs — from doctor and dental investment groups to pro athlete networks. With over 1,300 investor clubs tracked globally and 30 in-person events per year generating five to six million dollars in revenue, Richard reveals what separates thriving clubs from ones stuck under $200K per year. 🚀 Whether your goal is to raise capital, source better deal flow, or build relationships with aligned investors, the investor club model is something every serious real estate entrepreneur needs to understand. AI TOOLS THAT ARE TRANSFORMING REAL ESTATE INVESTING AND DUE DILIGENCE Richard and Gabe dig into how artificial intelligence is reshaping deal analysis, negotiation structuring, and due diligence in real estate investing. Richard's team has built 57 unique AI tools — including a Deal Structure Ninja trained on 1,000 real deal structures, a billionaire advisory board simulator built from transcripts of real billionaires, and a deal screener that flags risks in PPMs before you ever speak with a sponsor. 🤖 If you have been skeptical about AI in your investing business, this conversation will shift your thinking. These are not gimmicks — they are the second brain that serious investors are using to move faster and make smarter, better-informed decisions. #RealEstateInvesting #FamilyOffice #RaisingCapital #PassiveIncome #RealEstateSyndication Want to learn more about our guest?

    Why Most Real Estate Investors Never Achieve True Freedom

    Join an active community of RE investors here: https://linktr.ee/gabepetersen WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE 🏠💡 In this episode of The Real Estate Investing Club, host Gabriel Petersen sits down with Dani Lynn Robison, co-founder of Freedom Family Investments, to unpack one of the most inspiring journeys in real estate investing. From performing on cruise ships to managing millions in multifamily syndications, Dani's story proves your background does not define your financial future. Whether you are just starting out or ready to scale into passive income and commercial real estate, this episode delivers the actionable strategies and hard-won lessons you need to achieve financial freedom. 🚀 DANI'S UNLIKELY PATH TO REAL ESTATE INVESTING 🎵➡️🏢 Before becoming a powerhouse in multifamily real estate, Dani was a musician at Walt Disney World, touring cruise ships, and auctioning fine art across the country. Her real estate career began in 2008, one of the hardest markets in modern history. Rather than quitting, she found a seasoned mentor, formed an accountability group, and learned 12 different ways to buy and sell real estate. That foundation in creative financing strategies like subject-to deals, wraparound mortgages, and short sales gave her the tools to build a thriving real estate investing business completely from scratch. THE POWER OF MENTORSHIP IN REAL ESTATE 🤝📈 One of the strongest themes in this episode is how mentorship and community dramatically accelerate success in real estate investing. Dani credits her biggest wins to finding an experienced mentor who had already built real estate wealth, plus an accountability group that kept her team motivated. Gabe reinforces this directly: find someone who has already achieved what you want and model their path. This single decision can shave years off your learning curve and save you from costly, avoidable mistakes in real estate. FROM TURNKEY RENTALS TO MULTIFAMILY SYNDICATIONS 🏘️➡️🏙️ Dani traces her evolution from single family turnkey rental properties in Ohio to the multifamily syndication world, sparked by a chaotic 56-unit deal nicknamed "drugs, thugs, and bugs." 🐛 That deal featured problem tenants, COVID-era financing delays, and a property manager running an illegal subsidy scheme. Yet it became the best investment of their career, giving them the confidence to expand into recession-resistant asset classes like senior housing and self storage. RECESSION-RESISTANT REAL ESTATE: PICKING THE RIGHT ASSET CLASS 📦🏥🏦 Dani and Gabe break down why selecting needs-based real estate is one of the smartest moves in today's economy. Multifamily housing, senior living, and self storage all share one key trait: people prioritize paying for them even during downturns. This is the same philosophy Gabe applies at Kaizen, building a portfolio of demand-driven assets that generate reliable passive income through any market cycle. If cash flow and financial freedom are your goals, this segment will change how you think about real estate investing forever. #RealEstateInvesting #MultifamilyInvesting #FinancialFreedom #PassiveIncome #RealEstateSyndication Want to learn more about our guest?

    The Creative Financing Blueprint to Financial Freedom

    Join an active community of RE investors here: https://linktr.ee/gabepetersen 🏠 What if you could buy real estate with little to no money out of pocket and still generate serious monthly cash flow? In this episode of The Real Estate Investing Club, host Gabriel Petersen sits down with Chris A. Williams — real estate investor, broker, and founder of Assets Real Estate in Hampton Roads, Virginia — to break down the creative financing strategies he used to go from $0.37 in his bank account to owning a portfolio of cash-flowing single family homes. If you want to build real wealth through real estate investing, this episode is packed with actionable strategies you can use right now. HOW TO BUY REAL ESTATE WITH CREATIVE FINANCING 💡 Chris walks us through the subject to strategy in detail — one of the most powerful and underutilized tools in residential real estate investing. When you purchase a property subject to the existing mortgage, you take over the deed and ownership while the seller's original loan stays in place, allowing you to potentially inherit incredibly low interest rates without ever qualifying for a new loan. Chris explains why motivated sellers agree to this arrangement and how he closed his very first deal on a neighbor's listing that had been sitting dead on the market with no buyers. THE WRAP STRATEGY: GENERATE PASSIVE INCOME BY BECOMING THE BANK 💰 After mastering subject to, Chris discovered the wrap strategy — an Agreement for Deed — which layers a second financing arrangement on top of the existing mortgage. By charging his wrap buyer $2,500 per month on a property with a $1,700 existing mortgage, he pockets the $800 spread every month while the wrap buyer takes on responsibility for repairs and maintenance. On his second deal, Chris collected a $12,000 down payment and closed with only $35 out of pocket — a blueprint for building passive income with almost zero capital. WHOLESALING REAL ESTATE AS A LICENSED AGENT 📋 Chris breaks down how he navigates being both a licensed broker and an active wholesaler. In Virginia, a new law now requires anyone completing two or more wholesale transactions to hold a real estate license. His average wholesale assignment fee runs around $35,000 — far exceeding a typical agent commission — and radical transparency with sellers is the foundation of making every deal work ethically and profitably. SOCIAL MEDIA LEAD GENERATION & AUTOMATION FOR REAL ESTATE INVESTORS 📲 Chris's Instagram-driven lead generation machine is one of the most practical takeaways in this episode. Instead of expensive paid ads, he uses organic content paired with smart DM automation and ISAs to ensure every motivated seller lead gets followed up on immediately. A single trigger word in a DM launches an entire nurture sequence, routing leads to the right people at the right time and ensuring no opportunity slips through the cracks. 📚 Book: Wealth Without Cash by Pace Morby | 📍 Market: Hampton Roads, VA | 🤖 AI: ChatGPT Subscribe, comment, and share this with someone ready to take action in real estate! 🔥 #RealEstateInvesting #CreativeFinancing #SubjectTo #WholesalingRealEstate #FinancialFreedom Want to learn more about our guest?

If you're building wealth through real estate investing without being an active general partner, this conversation is essential for your financial freedom journey.

THE 2008 PLAYBOOK FOR TODAY'S MARKET 📊 Mark shares insights from buying distressed single family homes and small multifamily at 50 to 60 percent discounts during the financial crisis. While we may not see those exact conditions again, principles of opportunistic real estate investing during market dislocations are timeless. These lessons in patience, capital preservation, and strategic timing are invaluable. FROM ACTIVE GP TO PASSIVE INVESTOR 🔄 We explore Mark's journey from active general partner to limited partner placing capital with top-tier real estate sponsors. This transition allowed diversification across geographies, strategies, and asset classes while reducing operational risk. If you've wondered whether to do deals yourself or partner with experienced operators, this discussion will guide your decisions. A 96 PERCENT IRR DEAL BREAKDOWN 💎 Mark walks through his most successful investment, a multifamily property in Phoenix acquired during COVID that delivered 96 percent IRR and doubled investor capital in 18 months. He breaks down the underwriting, execution, and market timing. These case studies can transform how you evaluate opportunities.
