Structuring and Raising Debt & Equity for Real Estate
It is not enough to buy a great deal at the right price. The investment’s capital structure must be structured optimally to match the strategy and business plan for the deal and its investors.
Structuring and Raising Debt & Equity for Real Estate sheds light on the various types of lenders and equity investors and deal structures so that you can better put together your next investment. In this book, you will also learn strategies to source and attract debt and equity partners, which are two key relationships in the real estate investment business.
In Rob’s previous bestselling book, The Definitive Guide to Underwriting Multifamily Acquisitions, he shares his process of analyzing a potential investment from A to Z. In this new book, Rob takes you through the next step of understanding real estate capital structures and how to raise debt and equity for your next real estate investment.
"Structure trumps strategy in many cases and it is often undervalued. Taking advantage of promote crystallization, or 1031 exchange transaction options within syndicated deals or funds are two things often overlooked for example. Also, structuring private joint venture and Co-GP structures is the fastest growing segment within our club and the family office industry overall. Out of 1,000+ members of our investor club we selected Rob as one of a few to connect to a billionaire we have closed 18 deals with because of his expertise on deal structures and market access."
-Richard C. Wilson, CEO of Family Office Club Billionaires.com
"Structuring and Raising Debt & Equity for Real Estate builds on the insights from Rob’s first book about analyzing multifamily investments and takes it to the next level by sharing the skills and processes needed to structure and acquire a winning investment. Whether you’re looking to do your first syndication or joint venture with institutional capital, this book offers you the tools do so."
-Joe Fairless, Co-Founder of Ashcroft Capital
"While The Definitive Guide to Underwriting Multifamily Acquisitions provided readers with everything they need to do prior to getting into escrow, in Structuring and Raising Debt & Equity for Real Estate, Rob provides a no-nonsense outline of the exact structures and strategies which are working to actually get the deal funded and closed. This short but impactful book is required reading for real estate entrepreneurs of any level."

Reading for work. Yay.

The Skinny: Quick read with good overviews on capital and structures but lacks in depth and organization.
The Good: Read it on a 2 hour flight. Really solid overviews of different capital sources and structures. I think it is good that it isn't super in depth as that would make people confused but this is effective for laymen which I believe is the goal. Rob onces again clearly demonstrates how fluent and knowledgeable he is in this space.
The Bad: I think it's a step below the previous book in content. Also production quality is still low (the words are not aligned justified and drove me nuts) and the organization / flow is not great. Kind of feels like he wrote the whole thing in a weekend.

Great book with a lot of knowledge. A lot of great strategies and insights into the world of creative financing. Only down side, when discussing more complex topics or deal structures, the detail isn’t all there and can be a bit of a scramble to follow.
Overall great book! Would recommend to anyone who is learning about the world of RE finance.

This book deserve a five star rating. I like the real situation practical examples the author has used in this book are easy to understand. I recommend this book to someone who want to become real investor as a GP/Sponsor. This is a must read book.

Packed with information
There was information in here that I would have never thought of or believed it was possible to get funds for real estate. If you are looking for different ways to obtain funds, this book has answers.
