Raising Capital, Managing Risk, and Scaling Teams: Lessons From 5 Years in Real Estate Syndication
Fri Dec 19 2025
This episode is a best-of compilation featuring our favorite conversations and lessons from past episodes recorded on the golf course.
Over five years of building and scaling a real estate syndication business, these moments capture the insights that mattered most. We cover why you should always be raising capital, how our investor marketing evolved from word of mouth to CRMs, ads, and automation, and what actually matters when building long-term investor relationships.
We also dive into underwriting discipline, debt strategy, and managing risk in a volatile interest rate environment. Beyond the numbers, this compilation focuses heavily on people, including partnerships, accountability, systems and culture, leadership as organizations scale, keeping teams motivated without relying solely on money, and why communication with investors and tenants ultimately drives performance.
This best-of episode brings together the lessons, mistakes, and mindset shifts that shaped how we operate today, all captured during conversations on the golf course.
