The Raising Capital Show

Is AI coming for your job… or just your boring tasks? In this episode, Jillian and Nate get real about the fears AND massive potential of using AI in the capital raising world. From comparing AI to the advent of cars (yes, really) to breaking down how tools like ChatGPT can save you hours in underwriting and investor outreach, this is your down-to-earth guide to bringing AI into your workflow—without needing to become a tech wizard. They'll walk you through practical, copy-paste prompts, the actual role of APIs (no jargon, promise), and how to use AI like the best employee you've ever trained. Plus, get the scoop on their free AI Deal Desk Starter Kit that's already helping other investors speed up results and save serious brainpower. What You'll Learn Why AI isn't scary—it's just undertrained (and you're the trainer) How to shave hours off deal analysis with the right prompts What ChatGPT and Claude are really good at (and what they're not) How APIs and tools like Zapier help you connect the dots Why vague prompts = vague results (and how to get specific like a pro) How to write better investor emails with AI (and avoid sounding like a robot)  

On this episode, Nate Dodson interviews Marv McGuire about his move from multifamily real estate into assisted living and memory care deals in Florida. Marv explains how he structures deals allowing for both risk management and asset protection. He not only shares the macro factors that make memory care facilities more attractive than multifamily but also how he navigates the far more stringent compliance associated with this type of investment. Marv's current focus is on acquiring assisted living portfolios and converting them to memory care facilities, to meet the overwhelming and growing market demand.

With rising interest rates, increased investor skepticism, and deals that haven't gone as planned over the past few years, Nate and Yakov share gems on how to lead with transparency, authority, and empathy. This isn't about promising sky-high returns anymore. It's about communicating proactively, addressing fear before it becomes a deal-killer, and presenting yourself with a sense of credibility.

In today's episode, Yakov sits down with Mike Seidl to talk about the world of capital raising as it relates to human behavior and relationship-building. Mike, a seasoned private money lender since 2017, shares insights into his journey from starting as a lender in residential fix and flips to raising nearly 20 million dollars. Drawing from his diverse background in human services, including roles in residential facilities and psychiatric hospitals, Mike emphasizes the importance of understanding human behavior in both personal relationships and business. Key Takeaways: Mike's career spans from working with abused children to managing group homes and mental health facilities, which shaped his deep understanding of human behavior. Mike shares the benefits of using private capital during economic downturns when institutional capital tends to retract. He breaks down exactly how and why it's so important to build personal connections before discussing business opportunities Mike makes his interest rate prediction and how he will react economically Mike's take on why human interaction is more fruitful than AI automation   More about Mike: Mike Seidl has been a successful private money lender since 2017 when he started partnering with and lending his personal capital on projects to experienced residential fix-and-flip real estate operators. In 2021, Mike was approached by a good friend and fellow business owner about deploying his money for him. He was looking for a safe, reliable return on his capital. Since then, the company has placed investor capital in loans as small as $15,000 and as large as $2,400,000. Mike's first job after studying economics at New York University was at a residential facility for sexually and physically abused kids. He has also managed a group home for adults with Intellectual Disabilities. As well as serving as a mental health worker at a psychiatric hospital. This experience helped him gain a good understanding of human behavior. That, in turn, helped him start, with a partner, grow and build his first company, providing medical alert systems, which they sold to a public company ten years later. After taking five years off, Mike started his second business in the construction industry, focusing on property damage repair. This company was sold in 2017 after being built into one that completed 300 +/- yearly jobs. Mike's goal is to start and self-fund a nonprofit focused on kids who "age out" of foster care and government facilities. The emphasis will be on experience-based training in mindset and how the brain works physically and psychologically, as well as hands-on training in finance, banking, nutrition, exercise, and entrepreneurship.   Ways to connect with Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-seidl-reicapitalguys/   Useful links and resources: Yakov Smart's new book 'Attracting Investors' on Amazon https://findmoreinvestors.com/apply   Join our new capital raising community group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/capitalraisingtalkwithcapitalraisingprosgroup   Free Trainings on “How To Raise More Capital & Find High Net-Worth Investors on Auto-Pilot”: http://findmoreinvestors.com/capital   Enter our monthly raffle by leaving a 5-star review and emailing a screenshot to: reviews@findmoreinvestors.com   Connect with Yakov: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yakovsavitskiy/ https://www.facebook.com/yakov.smart3   The following music was used for this media project: Music: Positive Fat Bass Intro Loop by WinnieTheMoog Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6093-positive-fat-bass-intro-loop License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Artist website: https://linktr.ee/taigasoundprod   The following music was used for this media project: Music: Just Keep Going (Loopable) by chilledmusic Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/7245-just-keep-going-loopable License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   The following music was used for this media project: Music: Business Of Dreams by MusicLFiles Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/9392-business-of-dreams License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Artist website: https://cemmusicproject.wixsite.com/musiclibraryfiles   #realestateinvesting #capitalraising #realestate #passiveinvesting

As we celebrate our 100th episode, we dive into the five key themes essential for successful capital raising! The primary focus is on leveraging the "one-to-many" strategy, over the traditional "one-to-one" approach, to reach a broader audience efficiently.

In this episode, Jesse Ray shares insights on intentional living and the power of taking action as opposed to overthinking. Inspired by a quote from a conversation with Zach Kepes, Jesse emphasizes that “nothing happens randomly when you live intentionally”.  He discusses his journey from corporate to real estate investing using his wildly successful Growth House model. Jesse turned house hacking into a community for entrepreneurs, where tenants have seen extreme growth in their business by co-living with other like-minded entrepreneurs. Jesse dives into the experience and scalability of the Growth House model, relationship building strategies, and his future vision for Growth House. Key Takeaways: The Growth House model explained What does living intentionally really mean for your business? Following a blueprint and overcoming analysis paralysis were crucial to Jesse's success Finding the right social media platform for you Relationship building strategies Why you should learn how to leverage ASAP   More about Jesse: Jesse Ray knew something had to change when he pulled that light blue Cabana Boy shirt over his head as a college graduate. After graduating college, he couldn't find a job anywhere except his first high school job as a Cabana Boy. Determined to improve his situation, he delved into personal development and embarked on a career in sales. Despite almost quitting six times in the first three months, Jesse eventually climbed the corporate ladder to become one of the top producers in a Fortune 500 sales organization, earning accolades such as President's Club, Million Dollar Producer, and ranking #4 out of 500+ account executives. However, Jesse soon realized he had climbed the wrong ladder. Observing his higher-ranking co-workers, he noticed that none of them had the lifestyle he desired. More importantly, he felt that God had a bigger purpose for him. This revelation led Jesse to build a co-living rental portfolio that quickly surpassed his six-figure salary. Once he achieved his baseline level of financial freedom, Jesse created Growth House. Growth House Community is an online network of like-minded individuals striving to become the best versions of themselves and achieve financial freedom. Growth House Living provides furnished rentals for entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs to live and build together. Their podcast, Growth House, documents the journey of building Growth House from $0 to a $10 million business.   Ways to connect with Jesse: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesserayc/ https://www.instagram.com/thejesseray/   Useful links and resources: Yakov Smart's new book 'Attracting Investors' on Amazon https://findmoreinvestors.com/apply   Join our new capital raising community group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/capitalraisingtalkwithcapitalraisingprosgroup   Free Trainings on “How To Raise More Capital & Find High Net-Worth Investors on Auto-Pilot”: http://findmoreinvestors.com/capital   Enter our monthly raffle by leaving a 5-star review and emailing a screenshot to: reviews@findmoreinvestors.com   Connect with Yakov: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yakovsavitskiy/ https://www.facebook.com/yakov.smart3   The following music was used for this media project: Music: Positive Fat Bass Intro Loop by WinnieTheMoog Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6093-positive-fat-bass-intro-loop License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Artist website: https://linktr.ee/taigasoundprod   The following music was used for this media project: Music: Just Keep Going (Loopable) by chilledmusic Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/7245-just-keep-going-loopable License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   The following music was used for this media project: Music: Business Of Dreams by MusicLFiles Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/9392-business-of-dreams License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Artist website: https://cemmusicproject.wixsite.com/musiclibraryfiles   #realestateinvesting #capitalraising #realestate #passiveinvesting
