In this episode, discover the remarkable journey of Jeremy Dyer, a real estate investor who scaled from passive investments in 29 deals to raising $25 million in just 18 months as a fund manager.

Jeremy shares insights on transitioning from a top-performing W-2 career to capital raising, his unique strategies for building investor trust, and his disciplined approach to vetting operators.

Key Takeaways:

Build Trust with Transparency:
Jeremy emphasizes the importance of honesty in building investor relationships. From sharing full monthly reports to updating investors on unexpected issues, transparency is essential to maintaining trust.

Quality Connections Over Quantity:
For Jeremy, authentic relationships are key. He avoids "chasing capital" by focusing on organic connections, whether through thoughtful follow-ups, personalized check-ins, or genuine engagement on social media.

Priming Your Network:
Before launching a new investment opportunity, Jeremy spends months "priming the pump" by consistently posting valuable insights, sharing personal updates, and building a brand that investors recognize and trust.

Vet Operators Thoroughly:
Jeremy carefully evaluates sponsors by “dating” them for a year before partnering. He focuses on their track record, transparency, and ability to deliver on business plans, ensuring a reliable fit for his investors.

Humanize Your Outreach:
Rather than relying solely on email, Jeremy connects directly with his network through personal text messages, giving each investor an individualized experience and reinforcing strong relationships over time.
