5 Harsh Truths Nobody Tells You About Raising Capital with Keely Hubbard

5 Harsh Truths Nobody Tells You About Raising Capital with Keely Hubbard

Author: Mark & Tamiel Kenney September 30, 2022 Duration: 27:35

Everyone's selling you a system. Nobody's telling you the truth.

In this episode, sales coach Keely Hubbard joins Think Multifamily's Brent Kawakami for a no-fluff breakdown of five things the capital-raising industry doesn't want to admit. After 18 years in sales, a decade of coaching, and 11 years of investor conversations, Keely knows exactly where most investors get stuck — and it's not where they think.

You'll hear:

- Why there are no shortcuts to building an investor community — and the fantasy marketing red flags to avoid

- The real reason most people fail at raising capital (it's not the deal or the market)

- Why "conversations equal capital" — and what that means for how you spend your time

- The true cost of trying to figure it out alone vs. investing in the right coaching

- What most capital-raising programs leave out — and the one skill that actually closes investors

- Bonus: why being plugged into a group of operators is just as important as having ready investors

This is Part 1 of a two-part series with Keely. Ready to go deeper in person? Join us at our next live event at thinkmultifamily.com/event.
