Hi all I’m reaching out for guidance. An extended family member from another country reached out to me about investing $4mm in commercial real estate. He’s UHNW and his father in law and others are much more wealthy. Well my dad told him I work in CRE, but the issue is I’m licensed in my state but I do not work in brokerage or the equity side. I’m in capital markets/ CMBS trading for a big lender CBRE, Greystone, BWE RE Capital, Walker and Dunlop etc…my dream has always been to be in acq.

What’s the best way about finding a mentor to help me find, broker and manage my first deal. The extended family member said that he can do a lot more than $4mm and he will show his friends and my other extended family who’s much bigger than him if things go well. He plans on paying all cash for the deal

If you have a RE license just look for the top CRE brokers in your area then maybe you can represent this person or get a finders fee.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
