Building a community and establishing credibility as a community leader can attract investors and opportunities. Targeting specific investor groups, such as doctors and business owners, can be a strategic approach to raising capital. Capital raisers can benefit from forming alliances with other capital raisers to negotiate better profit splits and increase leverage. Creating a commercial real estate investor association can provide credibility, authority, and networking opportunities for investors across different asset classes.
