There are many situations in which your company may need funding. Maybe you’re looking to expand your business, open up a new location or invest in a new project. Maybe you need new equipment or training for employees. Maybe you’re anticipating a slow season and want to be financially prepared for lower revenue. Whatever the case, asset-based lending can be a great way for you to get the money that you need. There are several reasons why this might be a better option than a traditional loan.
ADVERTISEMENT
Asset-based lending uses collateral to secure your loan. When you are using collateral, it is less risky for a lender to provide you with funding. Because of this, aspects that might have otherwise kept you from being approved for a loan, such as limited credit history, might not be as important.
Because you are providing collateral, some terms of your loan might be more favorable than they would be if you had gotten a traditional loan. With this kind of lending, interest rates are often lower. This means that you will end up spending less to pay back your loan than you would with another kind of funding.
You might think that, when you get a loan, you can spend it however you like, but this isn’t always the case. Depending on the type of funding you get, there might be some restrictions on how you can use it. Asset-based loans are generally more flexible, allowing you to use them in a variety of different ways as long as it is for your business.
ADVERTISEMENT
Applications for traditional loans can often take a while to be approved. There are larger amounts of paperwork and stricter requirements, so the application process can be lengthy. Even if you are approved for a loan, it can still take months to receive the money. An asset-based loan, on the other hand, can be approved much more quickly.
If you are having trouble qualifying for a traditional loan, then asset-based lending is an option you may want to consider. It can be easier to get than other types of funding and comes with additional benefits, like flexibility and lower interest rates. Different lenders will have varying requirements, so look into your options to determine if it is a good fit for your business.

Networking is such an important part of your business. You must let everyone know what you are doing. Everyone can be a “bird dog” for you – And you for them. Throughout the 30 years of owning several businesses, I can honestly say this type of marketing has been the most effective and the most fun!
A great book to read if you are uncomfortable with the idea of attending and speaking at events to network yourself and your business is “How To Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie. It’s a great book that helps you to understand why you need to network with others as well as knowing what to say when you meet with new contacts.
Of course my belief in the benefits of networking is reflected as I founded a networking group called Women’s Success Group, (a nonprofit networking group since 1998) and now starting an Investors Network in my own town.
For the sake of this quick how-to article, I am going to focus and share all of my marketing strategies exclusively to those involved in real estate investing.
I would like to start with suggestions for some places to Network your real estate investing business.
I know the biggest fear and reason many people don’t attend networking events is they don’t know how to approach or what to say to others when first meeting them. So here is an idea – for every person you come in contact with at any type of networking meeting, your conversation might go something like this:
—–> “Hi there, my name’s __________. What’s your name?”
—–> “[Say their name] – What is it that you do?”
—–> “How long have you been doing this?” (Don’t be surprised most investors are part timers)
If they ask what you do for a living or about yourself, be prepared!
1) Hand them your card.
2) Summarize your business in 30 seconds or less.
ADVERTISEMENT
This is where spending time writing down how you want to market you and your business is important. You want to be concise and clear in describing what you do and what types of referrals would be most helpful. Try to incorporate something that differentiates you from the rest. Here is an example of a 30 Second Commercial:
“Hi my name is _________________. I consider myself the real estate investor with a heart. My passion is to work with home owners in jeopardy of losing their homes to foreclosure. If the home owner wants to keep living in their property I give them direction on how to do that or if they just want out – maybe they lost their job and can’t afford to keep it any longer, then I offer to buy their property. My goal is to create a win-win-win. Win for the home owner/seller, win for me the buyer/ investor and win for the bank when I take the house off their hands. If you know anyone that can use my help I pay a $1000 referral fee to you when I buy their property.”
Here is my personal 30 second commercial to everyone:
“I enjoy buying and selling real estate having closed on over 500 properties in the past 5 years. Some people call me the Flipping Queen because as you know, flipping is another term for contracting to buy and then selling real estate quickly for a profit. Or as I say Flipping it. I look to invest in residential real estate at a discount through Pre-Foreclosures, Short Sales, REO’s, Bankruptcies, Probate, as these are the usual reasons a seller is motivated to sell a property at a discount. After I am in contract to buy, I will often “flip” or turn the contract or property to an end buyer at a discount too. Are you interested in buying and/or selling discounted residential real estate?”
Now What? Listen – Listen -Listen to their response or their own commercial. The important thing is that you are interested in what they do for a living. Don’t talk about yourself or again until asked. Ask them questions about their occupation and how you can be of support to them in their line of work. If this person is a potential power team member for you, ask if you could contact them in the future. (You would be able to follow your list of questions for power team members and take notes when you called them back)
However, if this person is an investor, you might want to ask some of these questions:
ADVERTISEMENT
Make sure to collect everyone’s card, email address, fax, cell, and correct spelling of first and last name. Write a note or 2 on the back of their business card helping you remember the next steps you will want to take with this contact in the future. Just a “nice meeting you” card in the mail or email is often a memorable gesture encouraging future communication regarding each other’s business needs.
Networking should be a part of everyone’s marketing plan. Attend, join, participate – whatever you want to call it – your local REIA or REI clubs and real estate networking events. The important thing is to get in front of people!

The financial news headlines are enough to cloud the mindset of any real estate investor wondering if the space is still a viable one — ongoing bank failures and interest rate hikes, recession fears, lingering supply chain issues and a stock market that reflects both unease and uncertainty. What should you do?
If you’re smart during this period, look for opportunities to grow your portfolio rather than cashing it out or just sitting on the sidelines. So-called safe havens might be right under your nose – if you do your homework first.

In 2023, well-informed individual investors are looking to diversify their portfolios even during this time of turbulence and trepidation. While some are buckling down or momentarily bowing out, savvier investors are still pursuing a diverse mix of investments to position themselves to do more than just weather the storm. One ally in the battle can be private real estate investment offerings or alternative investment syndicates (alts) for accredited investors working with registered investment advisors (RIAs) or family offices. Private multifamily housing investments in particular are worth a closer look.
Why alts, RIAs and multifamily? Because according to new research trending from AltExchange, nine in 10 advisors intend to increase alts allocations over the next two years, and because other financial advisors might not have access to for their clients or may get wrong. The nice thing about these investments is that they are non-correlated to the stock market. And they don’t come with the extra layers of management and other fees frequently found in traditional REIT (real estate investment trusts) or funds.
In many such REIT scenarios, they can be filled with basket-type portfolios – you have to invest in office, shopping centers and other property mixes that you might not be interested in, investment-wise. But select firms offering direct real estate exposure can offer a sound alternative to a REIT by offering investors the ability to decide which single projects to fund, thereby lessening their exposure to broader and more volatile product types. This is one advantage to working with an RIA connected to a private firm like the one I represent — Roers Companies — where we can offer direct investment in specific multifamily properties to accredited investors through the advisors they know and trust.
Multifamily housing demand remains high, and the housing crisis in major cities is widespread. Single-family homes are becoming increasingly too expensive to buy or build for the current and next generation of housing seekers. Single-family home construction is generally slowing, and interest rates are pricing out many potential homebuyers, which creates sustained demand for rental housing. So multifamily investing can be an ideal hedge in the current environment — again if you do your due diligence.
Eleven years ago, Roers Companies’ co-owners (and brothers) Kent and Brian Roers began developing multifamily properties in the Midwest. Now, the business they founded includes 10,000 apartment units and $2 billion in development across 14 states — proof, perhaps, that its one-stop business model is thriving. The leaders and their team have weathered more than a few storms, and they readily attribute tenacity during downturns and diversification as key to their sustained growth and success. But don’t just take my word for it.
According to Kurt Durrwachter, founder and CEO of the 13-year-old Ledge Wealth Management in Sartell, Minn., with nearly $400 million under management, Roers Companies has successfully differentiated itself. He says, “Their one-stop business model with development, construction and property management is very attractive. And their regular reporting of construction and other information offers the kind of detail we rarely see in this business. I think they’re pretty unique, and they have a highly successful leadership team that has done an impressive job of growing the company in just 11 years.”
Roers Companies reached that milestone largely on the strength of “friends-and-family investors” based primarily in Minnesota. That strategy helped them become a top-three Twin Cities developer, Minnesota Real Estate Awards’ 2023 Developer of the Year, and even rank among the Top 25 Developers of multifamily housing in the country, according to the National Multifamily Housing Council.

Now their new initiative, working with RIAs and family offices, will allow Roers Companies to expand into additional markets where multifamily housing is needed and market fundamentals are solid. This next chapter in their story is also helpful in understanding the current and future opportunities that exist for anyone considering what the multifamily niche has to offer — even in a downturn.
One longtime Roers Companies investor notes how the company has done a superior job of checking all the key boxes investors look for.
“They have been very successful in just 10-11years’ time,” observes James Lee, “because they’re doing projects and making site selections in cities with projected job growth and housing shortages, especially in multifamily housing — and their fast lease-up rates are twice as quick as the industry average!
“The critical research, scoping and planning Roers Cos., does — plus the construction and leasing updates and quarterly reporting to their investors that offer true transparency — are often missing with larger investment firms. The returns,” he adds, “can be significant.”
Jeffrey Grant, Senior Managing Director, Capital Markets, leads the RIA initiative for Roers Companies, whose development pipeline is likely to include new ground-breaks in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee in 2023.
