Join the IRA Café Webinar to learn a repeatable system for raising capital through credibility and strategic investor outreach.
SIOUX FALLS, SD, UNITED STATES, January 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The IRA Café is excited to announce an upcoming educational webinar featuring John Ford, founder and CEO of Bel Air Lending and a seasoned real estate entrepreneur. Since 2018, John has facilitated more than 550 loans totaling over $120 million, rehabilitated 50+ homes, and built 60+ residences.
In his session, “Bel Air Lending — How I Did It: Raising $44 Million in 8 Years,” John will outline a repeatable fundraising system centered on a streamlined “Credibility Kit” designed to clearly communicate track record and reduce investor friction. Attendees will learn step-by-step outreach tactics and practical checklists, including how to build a targeted prospect list, contact high-priority prospects, distribute investor packets, solicit feedback, and leverage referrals. John will also share sample materials and scripts that can be adapted for individual fundraising efforts.
Additionally, John will explain how Bel Air Lending structures investor protection through an attorney-managed trust and layered net worth between borrowers and lenders. He will support his approach with the company’s performance record, including over $126 million in loans originated, a reported minimum 10% annualized return for eight consecutive years, and no principal or interest losses passed to investors.
What You’ll Learn:
• How to build a compact credibility kit that establishes trust and opens investor conversations.
• How to activate your network using a repeatable, relationship-focused outreach playbook.
• How to translate track record and safeguards into measurable investor confidence.
This webinar provides real estate investors and fund managers with practical insights for raising capital in a structured, compliant, and scalable way.
