The #1 Tip to Land High-Net-Worth Investors with AdaPia d’Errico

Multifamily Apartments

Raising capital is one of the key elements of apartment syndication. To be successful, you need a network of high-earning professionals that are able and willing to invest in your deals. The next level is being able to secure private equity from investors that can routinely write six and seven-figure investments. AdaPia d’Errico works with institutional investors like family offices to invest passively in multifamily apartment deals.

 

AdaPia d’Errico is a visionary leader with 20+ years of experience across countries, cultures, and both corporate and start-up environments. She is a respected fintech entrepreneur, executive and evangelist who brought real estate crowdfunding into the mainstream. Today, she is a Principal and the VP of Strategy of the real estate private equity firm Alpha Investing where her firm invests in multifamily, senior housing, and affordable housing nationwide with a portfolio of over $1.5BN in property value. AdaPia is also an author and a powerful keynote speaker whose talks and books inspire people to trust themselves, be their own authority, and step into their most powerful leadership roles in all areas of life.

I sat down with AdaPia to learn what high-net-worth investors look for in a sponsor, how to stand out when you don’t have a long track record, and how being vulnerable and transparent is an underrated attribute when working with passive investors.
