Please suggest a syndicate book (or resource) to learn how i can structure my next deal?
I have been a maintenance man since I was a kid. Now I own my own commercial property and am upgrading my realtor license to a broker license. 

For my next deals, I want to fundraise equity from private investors so we can buy them all cash, renovate and refinance for a long term hold (after showing cash flow) 

I want someone to guide me. Does anyone have a book they suggest or resource that will teach me how to do this? 

I already have investors with money and I have read a book or two about this. But would love some advice. Thx!

It\u2019s going to be a few textbooks. I think you\u2019re looking for insight into CRE finance. It\u2019s based around private equity finance, so you could start there - possibly into some case studies. If you really want to be able to fundraise you need to be proficient in the metrics and understanding the everything that goes into an operating/llc agreement. You don\u2019t need to be a lawyer per se, but you need to understand the deal from that perspective and from a bankers perspective. Shits about to get real complex if you\u2019re serious - don\u2019t let that deter you, but be ready to dive into those aspects and know that no book outside of several college-level textbooks will give you the knowledge or credibility I assume you\u2019re looking for. If you want millions or hundreds of thousands of dollars from investors you need to be fluent in both of those aspects imho.", "replies": [{"id": "idu5ut4", "text": "Excellent advice.
