Raising money for real estate didn’t come naturally to me. In fact, if you told me 18 years ago when I was patrolling the streets as a broke police officer that I’d one day raise nearly $50 million for real estate investments…
I probably would’ve laughed.
But here I am. And yes can you believe it?
18 years later, I’m standing in front of rooms like this, teaching others how to build wealth through mobile home parks and private capital.
Slow & Steady Wins, Every Time
I’m not the “raise $50 million next week” type.
I’m the tortoise in the race, slow, steady, consistent and it worked.
I moved from single-family deals to mobile home parks after seeing the numbers, the cash flow, and the stability that most investors overlooked. People laughed at mobile home parks back then…
Today? Everyone wants one..
My Turning Point: From Scarcity to Service
When I first started raising private money, I was nervous, insecure, unsure of myself.
I felt like a beggar, like I was asking for help.
Then one phone call changed the way I saw everything.
A partner told me:
“If I hadn’t invested with you last year, my account would’ve been wiped out. I’m grateful you called me.”
That moment flipped a switch.
I realized:
I’m not begging.
I’m serving.
I’m creating opportunities.
I’m helping people protect and grow their wealth.
Once I adopted that mindset, everything shifted.
The Real Secret to Raising Millions
People think raising money is about selling.
It’s not.
It’s about education.
It’s about sharing value.
It’s about helping people understand what’s possible.
Private money flows to two things:
âś” Good deals
âś” Trustworthy people
Do those consistently, and money starts coming to you.
Over the years I’ve paid off 10,000+ mortgages, many of them private lenders.
That’s the impact.
That’s trust earned through consistency.
Attraction > Persuasion
The best money-raising strategy I’ve ever used?
Education.
Blogs, books, videos, meetups, speaking, teaching constantly adding value.
If you want people to invest with you, give them something worth trusting:
• A clear message
• A strong online presence
• A track record of integrity
• Stories that show who you are, not just what you do
Because at the end of the day, plenty of investors offer great returns.
But there’s only one you.
And people invest in people.
From Mobile Home Parks to Millions Raised
Because the story behind the story is powerful:
• Affordable housing is needed more than ever
• Communities benefit
• Families gain stability
• Investors get consistent returns
• Deals make sense even in rough markets
When you can tell that story and tell it well, raising money becomes natural.
Where I Am Now
• Ex-police officer
• Nearly $50M raised
• Thousands of families impacted
• A growing portfolio of mobile home parks
• And still educating every day
Not because I’m trying to “sell”…
But because I know education changes lives, mine, my lenders’, and my communities’.
