💡 Lessons Learned: Navigating Challenges in Raising $1.3M Reflecting on my recent experience raising $1.3 million for our recent deal, I want to share some valuable lessons learned along the way. It wasn’t an easy journey, especially given the timing and the obstacles we faced. Here’s a peek behind the curtain: 1. Timing is Everything! Raising capital during the Fourth of July was a challenge. With everyone focused on vacations and travel, investment conversations were tough to initiate. The holiday period proved to be a less-than-ideal time to connect with potential investors. I won't do that again! 2. Persistence Pays Off Despite the timing, persistence was key. I hit the phones relentlessly, educating potential investors about the benefits of our NNN lease. It was a grind, but staying persistent made all the difference. 3. Education is Crucial Educating investors about the unique advantages of NNN leases was essential. By breaking down how the tenant covers all expenses, ensuring a stable income stream, and highlighting the long-term lease commitment, I was able to build confidence and trust. 4. Leverage Your Network Referrals played a significant role. By reaching out to my existing network and encouraging them to refer interested parties, I expanded our pool of potential investors. This network effect was instrumental in our success. 5. Managing Over-Subscription Ultimately, 18 investors came on board, but we faced an interesting challenge – we were oversubscribed. Eight more potential investors were unfortunately turned away. While it’s a good problem to have, it underscores the importance of managing expectations and ensuring clear communication. Success in Numbers Through these efforts, we secured $1.3 million and closed the deal. The commitment from 18 investors not only reflects the strength of the opportunity but also the effectiveness of our strategy. At Rooster Equity Partners, we pride ourselves on navigating these challenges and turning them into successes.
