"Getting started. Angel vs. Venture Capitalist and a presentation."


          

Hello, and I want to thank everyone who has taken time to read my post.

I've read a lot on both Angel Investors, and Venture Capitalists. I'm wondering, for someone who is just getting started, what other readers think would be the better approach to seek financing. For me, I'm leaning towards Angels, just because they tend to be actual business owners, and not tied into being part of a bank (sometimes, but not always, for either one).

What I'm looking at is REI (Real Estate Investing). There is something I've come across, referred to as "Subject To" contracts, and the simplest way to describe it, is akin to owner financing. Usually, people who have bad/no credit, but can make the mortgage payments, use it, but it is an option for REI. Obviously, while one could do so without money, as many I've talked to have suggested, it is extremely foolish to try to do something, without a backup, in case, which is why I'm seeking the financing backing, in case I can't immediately "flip."

I have prepared a Power Point Presentation (one of many items), to present to potential investors, so in addition to thoughts on my posting, I'd also like thought on the presentation:

Thanks for your time!

Don?t be pigeon holed by terminology such as angel vs. venture.
Just think in terms of the criteria of investors.

Your presentation was a bit confusing and was missing some major points.

My suggestion would be to dispense with some of the irrelevant items such as the ending of the gold standard.

Focus on describing exactly what you do and how you do it. Then describe exactly how you and your investors make money.

Explain clearly that what you do is take over responsibility for the property until it is sold, and that in that agreement you acquire the property at a discount and plan to resell it at a profit.

It?s a simple concept. Make it a simple presentation.
Work out some pro forma examples ie:
Contract for property at 200,000
Expenses
1) Pay mortgage arrears of $3,000
2) cover mortgage payments 3 months $ 3,000
3) repairs $ 2,000
Total investment 8,000
Sell for $ 220,000 profit $ 12,000.

Talk about how many times that can be done in a year, how the investment can be parlayed. Discuss the current economic conditions and how many people are in the kind of circumstance that will benefit from your service.

Good luck

Paul
