Joining us on this episode of Living Off Rentals is someone who has mastered the art of raising and deploying private capital.

Matt Faircloth is the Founder & CEO of The DeRosa Group and has been a full-time investor for 15 years. Today, he has amassed a portfolio of nearly 2,000 units and raised millions of dollars from passive investors to fund his projects. He’s also the author of Raising Private Capital, a best-selling book published by BiggerPockets, which has sold over 50,000 copies.

From starting with small BRRRR deals funded by friends’ IRAs to scaling into large multifamily and hotel acquisitions, Matt shares how any investor can use other people’s money to grow, without losing themselves or their relationships in the process.

If you have ever felt stuck because you “don’t know any millionaires” or worry about asking people to invest with you, this conversation will change your perspective.
