When Dr. Chirag Chaudhari started investing in real estate, he was just looking for a smart way to diversify…

He didn’t expect to become a capital-raising powerhouse for hundreds of other physicians.

But once he discovered syndications and joined a real estate mastermind everything changed.

Fast forward to today:

• Over 20 LP investments
• 787 hotel-to-multifamily units as a GP
• An elite STR fund + ground-up construction in San Diego
• And millions raised from high-income professionals like himself

In this episode, you’ll hear how Chirag went from “just a doctor doing deals on the side” to a trusted resource for investors across the country.

Inside, we break down:

• How he overcame imposter syndrome and built credibility fast
• His methodical sponsor vetting process (including criminal background checks)
• The one email that sparked massive interest from his network
• Why oil & gas is his next big move—and what most investors miss

If you’re trying to raise capital without sounding like you’re “asking for money,” this one’s gold.

To your success, Hunter Thompson

In a recent episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, where I was honored to be a guest with Mark J. Kohler, we tackled one of the biggest challenges facing real estate investors right now:

Raising capital in today’s uncertain market.

For years, it was easy…

A decent pro forma and a little confidence could get you funded.

But in 2025?

Investors are nervous, capital is cautious, and the rules of the game have changed.

In this episode, we dig into:

• Why most investors are frozen in fear (and how to break through)
• The difference between 506(b) and 506(c) — and why it matters more than ever
• How I raised over $100M using systems, not sales pitches
• What makes LPs say “yes” (even when the market says “no”)
• And how to attract high-net-worth capital… even if you’re not an “influencer”

This was originally released as a guest episode on the Main Street Business Podcast, but it was so packed with insights we decided to repost it on Cash Flow Connections.

If you’re trying to raise capital right now — or plan to — this is required listening.

Talk soon, Hunter Thompson
