019: This #1 Mistake makes Interested Investors Not Wire Money to Your Deals

This episode is a special one. Over eight years ago, Don Goff was Amy Sylvis' very first real estate coach. He helped lay the foundation for underwriting, systems, networking, and implementation - principles that still guide her business today.

In this candid, high-value conversation, Amy sits down with Don to unpack what it really takes to raise capital beyond friends and family, how the capital raising landscape has evolved, and the mindset shifts most investors overlook. With over 20 years in real estate - from single-family flips to multifamily and coaching more than 2,000 students - Don brings both experience and hard-earned perspective to the table. And this episode delivers.

This episode is for you if you've ever wondered:

• How do I raise capital once friends-and-family money runs out?
