Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing MB492: Raising $50M in 2 Years: Capital Raising Blueprint - With Jeremy Dyer
Most people raising capital are doing it completely wrong. They focus on flashy decks, mass emails, and trying to “look big”—but investors can smell the inauthenticity from a mile away.
Jeremy Dyer took a different approach. He raised $50M in under 2 years by leading with trust, transparency, and one-on-one conversations—all while holding down a full-time tech sales job and raising four kids.
In this episode, Michael Blank uncovers the real strategies behind Jeremy’s rise from passive investor to powerhouse capital raiser. You’ll learn how he built a loyal investor base, scaled legally with fund-to-fund models, and is now buying deals at massive discounts while others sit on the sidelines. If you think capital raising is about money—it’s not. It’s about people.
