Panel discussion from the 2019 Family Office Super Summit on real estate investors success stories here from five real estate investment firms who have raised over $20 million each. So we're going to keep this one focused on real estate and we're going to keep this focused on how these firms have been able to successfully raise capital in their respective asset classes. Please keep in mind, I do get a lot of people that come up to me and say, wow, you guys have a lot of real estate investors here. And the stats on our investors are as follows, 75% of our family offices invest in real estate. On average, it makes up about 25% of their portfolio. What that means is that on average another 75% is diversified into other niches.

Richard Wilson, at the Hyatt where we are hosting our private investors summit. I'm putting together a plug and play virtual family office infrastructure solution for $200 million-plus net worth families and I'm going to be kind of beta testing this structure across maybe a dozen families that are all worth somewhere between 15 to 20 million on the low end, up to three to 400 million of net worth. If you're a family of that nature and you want to see what we're doing to make things more cookie-cutter at the start for a virtual family office or your core infrastructure is available, and then obviously we customize things to whether you have 10 LLCs or 200 or whether you have five homes and 10 businesses or one business and a lot of real estate holdings, et cetera, but to have a plug and play infrastructure is really our goal for a lot of our clients who are going forward. Do you want to learn more about that? Shoot me a quick note. It's just Richard@familyoffices.com going to learn a little bit more about us. First and then shoot me a note. Please go to Centimillionaires.com its Centimillionaires.com and you'll see some of the investor advisory work that we do there, or family offices.com you come to meet me face to face in person at one of our 32 live events a year first.

Richard C. Wilson speaks on industry-standard investment management fees. If you are searching online for them and you're not familiar with them, I am 90% sure that you're either an investor that doesn't know what's the norm. Anyone make sure you negotiate and don't pay above-average fees. Or you're someone who is starting an investment firm, an independent sponsor firm, a real estate development firm raising capital for something, and you're not sure what the industry standard is. But it's really the wrong question to ask. The most important thing to ask is, you know, is my team industry-standard credibility? Do we have the industry-standard track record to even industry-standard or above offering?

Richard C. Wison speaks on setting up a virtual family office and what you should be thinking instead of: "Do I need an SFO or and MFO  well, I'm only worth 15 million or 25 million. I'm not a family office type individual, so I can't really consider that path." The option is to create a virtual family office. What alot of people overlook is that many people who are very experienced in dealing with $100 million+  families will still work with you at 15 to 25 million on a carved-out basis/ an ad hoc basis. When you need their help or on a unique basis, it's different than becoming a full-fledged client with him. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you want to leverage the tens of millions and overhead that private banks for wealth management firms have. You can access some of their managers that have been fully due diligence to access some of their strategies and connections by the thousands of employees and do so on an ad hoc basis.

Richard C. Wilson, CEO, and president of the Family Office club identified the most common mistake that he has seen capital raisers make. They make the mistake of taking success with a direct investment model. Where there's no funds and turned it into fund model. The mistake is that they go to their current investors already like them, trust them and invest with them and say," Hey, would you be open to coming in my fund?" And they say, "Yes, sure", because I've already invested in four of their deals but people have not invested with before may not want to come into the fund is gonna be harder. They're trading one headache for another headache of their own pain of running around and finding the investors they need to close a deal in 6 to 8 weeks and independent sponsor model for the headache of promising a blind pool to investors within a fund model. And I would always rather to the headache is more hard work for me in the thing, which is going to really stop investors from considering a deal. I've seen people who have raised $300 million in direct investments, not be able to raise a $10 million fund.
