Ep. 75 - How to Raise Private Capital Without Being "Salesy" with Dave Dubeau
Are you still chasing private investors with cold pitches and PDF deck blasts, or are you building a system where accredited investors come directly to you? 🏢💰
In this episode of the More Doors Podcast, host Matt Buchalski sits down with Dave Dubeau, CEO of the Money Partner Formula, author of No Sweat Real Estate Investing, and host of the Property Profits Real Estate Podcast. Dave has been in the real estate game for over 20 years—starting from a late-night infomercial course where he completed 18 deals in 18 months, to helping syndicators, fund managers, and operators raise over $350 million in private capital.
Dave breaks down his exact, step-by-step playbook for attracting accredited investors without using "hard-sell" tactics. We dive into why traditional LP equity sources are tapped out in today's post-ZIRP environment, how to use a targeted "show host" strategy on LinkedIn to book high-net-worth business owners, and why "find a good deal and the money will find you" is the worst advice in real estate.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ The 18 Deals in 18 Months Origin: How Dave transitioned from living in Costa Rica to flipping creative real estate in Canada.
✅ The Shift to Capital Raising: Why Dave stepped away from active property operations to focus 100% on investor marketing.
✅ The Podcast Appointment Funnel: How to reverse-engineer a show host strategy to interview and convert ideal investor avatars.
✅ Attracting Tapped-Out LPs: Why current market conditions require operators to build new investor relationships rather than relying on old lists.
✅ Dispelling Real Estate Myths: Why relying on "the money will find the deal" leads to failed transactions.
✅ AI & Human Connection: How Dave leverages AI for scale while keeping investor relationships authentic and personal.

Ep. 74 - How a 23-Year-Old Built a $12M Real Estate Portfolio Without Banks
Can you really build a $12M real estate portfolio without ever stepping foot inside a bank? 🏠📈
In this episode of the More Doors Podcast, host Matt Buchalski sits down in-studio with Conner Kinney, founder of Kinney Property Group. At just 23 years old, Conner owns 68 rental units across the Dallas-Fort Worth area and College Station, Texas. After dropping out of college at age 18, Conner faced constant bank rejections due to his age and lack of credit history—forcing him to master the art of seller financing.
Conner walks through the unglamorous, tactical reality of building wealth from scratch. He shares how he bought his very first duplex on the back of a pickup truck in a McDonald's parking lot at age 19, how he negotiates seller finance terms (including a $4M, 29-unit portfolio at 3.25% interest-only), his strict 1.5 DSCR underwriting rule, and his recent 31-unit mixed-use acquisition in Denison, Texas.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ The College Dropout Pivot: Why dropping out at 18 forced Conner to take immediate action and buy his first deal at 19.
✅ Finding Seller Finance Deals: How to target older mom-and-pop landlords who have owned properties for 15+ years.
✅ Earning Trust Without Credibility: How Conner built rapport with sellers using past seller referrals and sheer honesty.
✅ Creative Deal Structuring: How to solve seller problems using low down payments, long-term balloons, and interest-only rates.
✅ The 1.5 DSCR Rule: Why cash flow and debt service coverage are non-negotiable when self-managing 68 units.
✅ Denison Case Study: How a 31-unit apartment/self-storage acquisition was bought for $280K direct-to-seller via a cold call.

Ep. 73 - Why Resident Experience Beats Traditional Marketing in Multifamily
Are traditional marketing tactics like Zillow and basic ads enough to lease up Class A apartments, or is resident experience the real key to high retention? 🏢✨
In this episode of the More Doors Podcast, host Matt Buchalski sits down with Kelsey Gibson, Brand Experience Manager at Saxum Real Estate. Transitioning from a decade in luxury travel, event programming, and opening high-end boutique hotels along the Jersey Shore (like the Asbury Ocean Club), Kelsey brings an essential, hospitality-first mindset to Class A multifamily communities.
Kelsey breaks down how treating housing as a luxury experience—rather than just a transaction—drives early lead generation, rapid lease-ups, and long-term resident renewals. We explore the power of sensory marketing (curated soundscapes and signature scents), host-driven community activations like local night markets, and why "scouting your army of badasses" in property management makes all the difference.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ Hospitality Meets Real Estate: How luxury hotel concierge standards translate directly to resident satisfaction and retention.
✅ Pre-Leasing Through Brand: How early perimeter branding generated over 100 leads years before a project's completion.
✅ Sensory Marketing Secrets: Why music playlists, custom scents, and first-name greetings elevate Class A asset perception.
✅ Community-Driven Activations: How hosting local night markets and day-disco events supports small businesses and builds organic resident loyalty.
✅ Hiring for Attitude: Why recruiting property management staff with hospitality backgrounds solves resident complaints before they start.
