JF 3952: The Build Trap, Capital Raising Mistakes, and the 95/5 Rule with Richard McGirr

The Best Ever CRE Show

On this episode of Unlimited Capital, Richard McGirr delivers a solo masterclass on the number one mistake that kills more deals than bad markets or bad sponsors—the “Build Trap.” Drawing from his experience raising over $60 million and coaching dozens of fund managers, Richard explains how over-focusing on CRMs, funnels, and "perfect" systems often masks procrastination and stalls momentum. He breaks down the 95/5 rule of capital raising, emphasizing that most results come from just a few key actions: sending emails, calling investors, and following up. If you’ve been stuck in prep mode, this is your call to take action.
