// The Problem

Capital Is the #1 Bottleneck for Canadian
Real Estate Investors

You can find deals. You understand the numbers. But without access to private capital, you're stuck watching other investors scale while your portfolio stays flat.

⚠️

Maxed Out on Personal Capital

Banks have tightened lending. Your personal savings can only stretch so far. Every deal requires more capital than the last, and you're running out of ways to fund them yourself.

😶

No System for Raising Money

You know joint ventures exist, but you don't have a repeatable process for finding investors, pitching them, and structuring deals that protect both sides.

⏳

Deals Dying on the Vine

Great opportunities come and go because you can't close fast enough. By the time you scramble for funding, the deal is gone and another investor scoops it up.

📈

Competitors Are Scaling Past You

Other investors in your market are adding 5-10 properties a year using OPM (Other People's Money). They're not smarter — they just have a capital-raising system.

// The Solution

The Raising Capital Academy System

A step-by-step framework for attracting JV partners, structuring win-win deals, and building a pipeline of private investors who want to fund your deals.

Build Your Investor Avatar

Identify exactly who your ideal JV partner is, where they hang out, and what motivates them to invest. Stop pitching random people and start attracting qualified capital.

Master the Investor Presentation

Learn the storytelling framework that gets investors to say "I'm in." Craft a compelling pitch that builds trust, shows credibility, and makes the deal irresistible.

Structure Bulletproof JV Agreements

Use proven deal structures, legal templates, and financing strategies that protect you and your investors. Cover everything from profit splits to exit strategies.

Build Your Capital Pipeline

Create a repeatable system that keeps investors coming back deal after deal. Turn one-time JV partners into long-term capital relationships that fund your entire portfolio.

Scale to Multi-Property Portfolios

Apply advanced strategies for private lending, RRSP investing, and commercial properties. Go from single deals to building a portfolio that generates real wealth.

What separates Russell from other coaches is that he actually does this himself. He built his entire portfolio using joint ventures. He's not teaching theory — he's teaching what works in the real Canadian market.

// Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The Raising Capital Academy is designed for investors at all levels. Whether you've done zero deals or fifty, the capital-raising system works the same. Most students come in knowing how to find deals but not how to fund them — that's exactly what we solve.

The strategies are universal, but the legal templates, deal structures, and financing strategies (like RRSP investing) are specifically tailored for the Canadian market. If you invest in Canada, this is built for you.

Every investor is different, but students who implement the system consistently see results within weeks, not months. One student raised over $1M after completing the program. The speed depends on how quickly you build your investor pipeline and start having conversations.

That's exactly what the Investor Attraction System module covers. You'll learn where to find potential JV partners, how to build relationships with them, and how to position yourself as someone worth investing with — even if you're starting from zero connections.

200+ video lessons across 12+ modules, legal templates, JV agreement documents, presentation packages, deal analysis spreadsheets, and access to the Academy community. Everything you need from mindset to advanced commercial strategies.

Stop Letting Capital Hold You Back

The deals are out there. The investors are out there. You just need the system to connect the two. Book a free strategy call and see how the Raising Capital Academy can help you scale.
