Funding your own deals is good at the start, but you can only go so far with a few deals. Getting into bigger deals requires more significant funds, where raising capital comes into play.
And that's not an easy part to do. But how can you mobilize funds without sounding desperate for that?
Through his vision and leadership, Ellis Hammond has led Symphony Capital Group to acquire more than eighty-seven million dollars of commercial and multifamily real estate in 2021. He is also the founder of Kingdom REI, a mastermind and coaching community for faith-driven real estate investors who want to multiply their real estate portfolio, income, and impact through joint ventures and collaborations.
In this episode, Ellis shares how he made the most of his experience as a pastor -- the people he built relationships with, banking on their trust in him, sharing his faith and many things of value to other people he meets. All those help him pool funds together and scale faster.

"We bought our first duplex, and nine months later, we partnered on our first multifamily deal, which was 144 units. Not that we don't want to take a whole lot of credit for that deal, because we didn't do a whole lot except leverage our relationships to provide equity for that deal." - Ellis Hammond
