There are always questions...

Here are the most common questions and answers that I get about Rainmaker...

Does Rainmaker work in our area?

Yes.  We have completed assignments in every major metro market and most of the minor metro markets, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean Basin.  We get around.

Does Rainmaker raise money?

No.  We provide consulting services.  If you want to raise equity dollars you need to talk to an investment banking firm, as only investment bankers can market and/or sell equity securities or debt securities to the public.  If you want to raise capital using a commercial real estate syndication of fractional ownership interests, there aren't a plethora of firms to choose from, so we can help.  We can do the budgets, the due diligence documents, the contract amendments, the advertising buys, the marketing plan, the purchaser meeting and help you close out the syndicate.  We don't have a Rolodex of commercial investors so having us set up a syndication for you is not as cost efficient as going to a syndicator that does have a Rolodex, but then you have to take the deal they are willing to give you.  Rainmaker will show you how to get the deal you really want.  You decide.

Does Rainmaker do joint-ventures?

Only if you provide the money.  We have plenty of pro bono efforts that take a lot of our time.  You need to raise your working capital at the very least.  If you can't do that, then you need to be doing something else to make money, because the odds aren't good.  The odds are real and miracles only happen in Hollywood; that's actual experience.

What is Rainmaker's specialty?

The majority of our work has been in the income-producing commercial properties.  Within this group, senior housing industry assignments make up the majority of our work assignments.  Having said, Rainmaker has a record of being the "go-to" consulting firm for unusual projects and/or emerging market projects.  Examples of these types of assignments have included privately-owned toll bridges, inland port facilities and destination resorts.
