Manage episode 523487432 series 3462581
In this episode, Brandon Bateman sits down with Devin Robinson to break down exactly how he raised over $2 million in capital after losing everything when hedge funds dried up overnight. Devin shares his complete system for raising capital through social media, converting low-equity deals into profitable wrapped notes, and building a real estate fund during one of the hardest markets in 30 years.
Whether you're wholesaling, flipping, or looking to scale with private money, this conversation delivers actionable strategies you can implement immediately. Devin reveals how he went from having just 2 private lenders to managing 40+ fund investors, all while transitioning from traditional wholesaling to becoming the bank on sub-2 seller finance deals.
Plus, Devin breaks down the psychology of high-net-worth investors, why they care more about impact than returns, and how he positions his fund to attract capital from people who've never invested in real estate before.
