I was just hired by a real estate investment firm to find investors to co invest for the acquisition of new properties. I am trying to find family offices that would invest. My question is, what is co-investing and how does that differ from direct investing? How do I know if family offices want to co invest?

Oh boy.....
I think the real estate investment firm should've hired someone else to raise capital.
.
Raising money for a real estate project can be done through a variety of sources, including private equity funds, individual investors, and crowdfunding platforms. Here are some steps you can take to successfully raise money:
Develop a compelling pitch: Your pitch should clearly explain the opportunity, the market, and the potential returns. It should also demonstrate the strength of your team and your track record.
Build a network: Connect with potential investors through networking events, online communities, and professional associations. Consider hiring a professional investor relations firm to help you reach more investors.
Offer attractive terms: Offer investors a competitive rate of return and a clear exit strategy. Consider offering equity in the project or a share of the profits. Make sure the terms are clear, fair, and legally binding.
Prepare financial projections: Create detailed financial projections to show potential investors how you plan to generate returns. Make sure your projections are realistic and based on sound assumptions.
Due diligence: Be prepared for potential investors to thoroughly review your plans, financials, and market research. Make sure your records are organized and complete.
When it comes to terms, here are a few key terms you should be familiar with:
Equity: Equity refers to ownership in the project, usually represented by shares. Investors who provide equity capital typically receive a share of the profits in return.
Debt: Debt refers to loans that must be repaid with interest. Investors who provide debt capital typically receive a fixed rate of return.
Return on investment (ROI): The return on investment is the profit or loss an investor realizes from their investment. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the initial investment.
Capitalization rate (cap rate): The capitalization rate is a measure of the potential returns on an investment. It is calculated by dividing the expected net income by the current market value of the property.
Exit strategy: An exit strategy is a plan for how and when an investor will sell their investment. Common exit strategies include selling the property, taking the company public, or liquidating the assets.
It is important to seek legal and financial advice when raising money for a real estate project to ensure that you are compliant with all relevant laws and regulations, and that your financial projections are accurate and achievable.
Lol is this shop in houston by chance? If so quit today.
It doesn't really differ other than they will likely negotiate specific terms that will vary from office to office (our biggest investor at a previous shop had a "most favored nation clause" which basically meant that if we gave another person a better deal, they got that deal). Your relationship with them will likely be some hybrid between co-gp/LP where they may have some approval rights, but you'll likely run the day to day (some are more involved, some are less).
How will you know? You need to go ask them.
Thank you.
There are conferences, look up OPAL Financial, and other networks to meet FA’s or FOs.
You call and ask if they have an allocation to real estate.
Thank you
What's the general thesis? Are the properties existing buildings in strong markets, what are they looking to do? If it's ground up development it may be hard to raise money now, just my personal opinion. Let us know because what the strategy is would change your pitch, what market, general asset class, strategy.
The firm mostly invests in value add in Berlin. They hold c.a 250 m in properties and have been around for about 14 years. They are looking for partners. One of the properties was acquired with loans if I understood correctly and then the GP sold parts of the ownership to various small private investors. They are 10% invested and the rest has been sold. Is that a typical deal structure? I am completely new to this industry. Now he is doing a blind pool for a condominium. I am trying to find suitable investors.
