Our Story
The genesis of Smart Capital was Raj’s passion for doing things the smarter way and helping others do the same. Raj started investing in Real Estate since 2012, while still working at his W2 job. Over the years he had invested in several condos and a small multifamily. Managing these assets was still a lot of work. He realized that he was working hard for the money vs the other way around. It did not leave much time for some of his other passions – family, travel, photography and golf.
In 2016 he took a hard look at investing passively in Real Estate through syndications (aka group investments) and how to leverage his expertise in data analysis to identify the right opportunities. In 2017, Raj left his W2 to launch Smart Capital, with a vision of helping busy individuals diversify and grow their wealth through passive investing in commercial real estate.
Set your heart just on doing good.
Do good over and over again and you will be filled with joy.
-Buddha
Smart Capital has built a strong network of seasoned real estate professionals and trusted partners. It has a free educational platform including in person Meetups to share syndication knowledge with other investors and real estate enthusiasts
