PRESENTATION DETAILS
Tim Mai’s $100 M Capital-Raising Playbook:
How to Attract, Build Trust, and Win High-Net-Worth Investors
The biggest real estate opportunities of the next two years will die for one simple reason: the deal sponsor could not raise enough equity fast enough.
With more than $1 trillion in commercial real estate debt maturing in 2026 and 2027, operators are facing painful refinances, capital calls, and forced sales. Great deals are coming. The question is whether you will have the investor relationships, authority, and capital-raising system needed to act before someone else does.
In this presentation, Tim Mai will show you how to:
🔶 Define and locate your ideal high-net-worth investor
🔶 Build a Dream 100 list from your existing network
🔶 Turn LinkedIn, Facebook, and other platforms into investor lead sources
🔶 Establish authority through content, podcasts, and educational events
🔶 Apply AI to prospect research, content creation, pitch decks, and follow-up
🔶 Structure strategic alliances through Co-GP, Fund of Funds, and broker-dealer relationships
Expect real examples, practical tools, and a clear system you can begin using immediately. Tim combines proven relationship-building strategies with modern AI tools to help you scale your reach without losing the personal connection that earns investor trust.
In this market, opportunity will be everywhere. Investor trust is scarce. The person who earns it first will control the deal.

Lawrence Kao: How to Buy a $1.5M Turnkey Asset with Seller Financing
Most real estate investors hunt for turnkey properties in overcrowded markets, fight over tight cap rates, and watch their returns get eaten alive by commercial bank debt. You end up taking on massive liability for razor-thin cash flow.
In this educational breakdown, presenter Lawrence Kao breaks down how Domobuilt, LLC structured the $1,510,000 acquisition of Cedar Lodge, a 25-unit turnkey hotel and RV park asset in Chester, CA, using an 86% seller-carry note and just $325,000 in total LP equity. By studying this exact capital stack and waterfall model, you will learn how to structure creative seller financing to deliver a target 24% LP IRR and a 3.06x equity multiple across a 10-year hold.
Lawrence Kao breaks down the exact framework behind the deal:
🔶 Creative Capital Stack: How to negotiate a massive seller-carry note with stepped interest and a low down payment.
🔶Unlocking Built-In Upside: How to take a property operating at minimal capacity and how to implement zero-capital management levers designed to add up to $142,000 in annual top-line revenue.
🔶True Risk Protection: Real-world underwriting strategies to protect against high insurance costs, rural infrastructure risks, and seasonal revenue dips.
Stop waiting for traditional lenders to approve loans on overpriced assets. The biggest returns in today's market do not come from competing for traditional deals. They come from finding motivated sellers, negotiating seller carry, and engineering equity through smart operational discipline.
