Whether you're a novice or an experienced commercial real estate investor, you're sure to find valuable insights in this conversation.

Key Takeaways:

The Power of Raising Capital: Josh emphasizes the importance of having a dedicated team member focused on raising capital. Building relationships and a strong online presence through various media channels, like podcasts and social media, can help attract investors. His advice: "Funding equals freedom."
