Hi all, I've began my search and have determined the size of a deal I can afford without bringing on investor capital. However, I'm debating if I want to bring on additional capital and look for larger deals or continue running with this myself. Anyone have any advice here?

Bryan, I can't advise you on whether or not you want to pursue a larger business and manage investors, but should you decide you wish to bring in investors, I am a solo sponsor looking to invest in NC area deals. Happy to connect any time.

Highly recommend bringing on investor capital and reducing debt burden as much as possible on the first deal. I'd rather own 65% of a successful business than 90% of a bankrupt one. Ask me how I know...
