Keith's Path From Flips To Multifamily GP
- Keith Heckman started in 2018 with single-family flips and lending via his retirement account, then shifted to multifamily to scale.
- He became an LP and GP on multifamily deals in multiple states and credits mentorship and networking for the jump.
Treat Capital Raising As A Business
- Capital raising must be treated as a business, not a side hustle.
- Expect friends-and-family to dry up by the 3rd–4th raise, so plan systems to attract new investors beyond your network.
Build A OneToMany Investor Funnel
- Design a funnel: top = lead generation, middle = nurture, bottom = wired funds.
- Use one-to-many content so prospects get 10–13 touches (e.g., daily LinkedIn) before one-on-one calls to shorten conversion time.
