Why SAF?
Because All Deals Deserve Structure...
When you learn how to "structure" your deals properly, you position yourself to earn investor trust, connect with more sophisticated capital sources, and lay the groundwork
For A Track Record That Supports Larger Deals.

Dear Wall St Rebel,
There's a story I often tell...
...about how I took the long road to launching my own fund
...and how it took me YEARS to figure out.
The reason? I didn’t have anyone to help me. No guide, no coach, no mentor.
I started with wholesaling real estate—finding random deals and trying to piece things together on my own.
I spent countless nights on forums and YouTube, chasing dead ends and getting nowhere.
At one point, my dad — who I didn’t even know was managing an $8B fund at the time — sat me down...
...and told me to stop running around like a "chicken with my head cut off".
He wasn’t wrong. I was scattered, trying everything without a clear path.
But over time, I figured it out. I learned how to raise capital, structure deals, navigate securities laws, and launch funds.
Eventually, I went on to raise $45M across two successful funds.
And along the way, I kept thinking…
"What if there were a place to get real answers? To get unstuck? To connect with people who have your back and want you to win? A place that could shortcut years of frustration and failure."
What gift would I give him?
It would be the gift of knowledge.
Knowledge that becomes skills, and skills that allow you to create the fund manager life you truly always wanted.
And even though I couldn't give myself that gift, I could give it to the next generation of aspiring fund managers —
And that's why I created the Single Asset Fund Incubator.

BUT What if I Get Lost or Confused With Using The Fund Builder?
Introducing SAF Private Consulting...
We built the most comprehensive fund-building platform ever created specifically for aspiring fund managers like you.
And as we were building that platform, I knew we needed to bring in some of the most capable coaches in the industry...
Where I’m no longer the only one working to change the game...
...and have a few good men and women come alongside to help us do it right.
Men and women who love this work as much as I do, care as much as I do, and who are sharp enough to guide others forward.
The question was: who?
I’ve never been drawn to the so-called gurus or self-proclaimed experts...
...because the real insight always comes from those who’ve actually been in the trenches—doing the work and producing real outcomes.
So let me introduce you to a few people who are not only exceptional fund operators, but also some of the smartest, most capable professionals I’ve had the privilege of working with.
Meet Your Coaches
Dan Pierson, known in the community as the "acquisition maestro"
...is now our official SAF Private Equity Coach.
Dan is often the person fund managers turn to when a deal is stuck, because he brings creative structure to deals that others would pass on.
He’s been in the space for years, working with hundreds of groups and supporting them in scaling a collective portfolio that has grown to over $1 billion in AUM.*
He’s one of the key reasons some of the most successful managers got where they are.
Ben Julius, raised over $200 Million for his own Single Asset Funds
...is now our official SAF Capital Raising Coach.
Ben has raised over $200 million for just two Single Asset Funds in his real estate business.*
Beyond that, he brings a wide range of experience—from building luxury subdivisions to multi-family condo developments in both the U.S. and Canada.
He’s exceptional at investor communication and helping first-time fund managers understand how to pitch their first SAF with clarity and confidence.
Where Dan specializes in structure and acquisitions, Ben is focused on raising and managing capital around high-quality deals.
Together, they form a powerhouse team for anyone building or scaling a real estate fund.
Peter Privion, expert in Hedge Fund compliance
...is now our official SAF Hedge Fund Compliance Coach.
Peter has worked extensively in fund operations, helping multiple managers grow quickly and compliantly—a challenging space he’s mastered over time.
After helping develop fund compliance systems internally, he began helping others, and is now considered one of the most trusted voices in hedge fund compliance among our community.
He’s currently managing compliance for two funds with a combined $6 million AUM, and is in the process of launching two more.*
Peter is particularly skilled at helping operators convert separate trading accounts into full fund structures—something many of our members are actively working toward.
Real Estate & Private Equity
Dustin Gomez, launched 3 funds
...is now our official SAF Real Estate Coach.
He’s studied every training, shown up to every coaching call, and received direct mentorship from me.
Today, he’s raised $20 million across real estate, private credit, and hybrid asset funds.*
It’s one thing to raise small checks—it’s another to structure legally sound vehicles that can scale.
Dustin has done that, and now coaches our top-tier clients in Black Card and within the SAF Incubator.
He’ll be your go-to for Real Estate and Private Credit Funds.
We now host 4 weekly calls inside the Single Asset Fund Incubator.
- Monday at 1:00 p.m. EST – Real Estate Funds Mastery with Dan Pierson
- Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. EST – Capital Raising Mastery with Ben Julius
- Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. EST – Hedge Fund Compliance with Peter Privion
- Thursday at 12:00 p.m. EST – Fund Structure Mastery with Dustin Gomez
Each session includes open Q&A on the topic...
In-depth walkthroughs, live case studies, step-by-step instruction...
And hot seats where you can bring your own deal for direct feedback.
In between calls, our private community and the Fund Launch platform are there to support you in real time.
You’re never left figuring it out alone.
I’m a little worried about presenting my finances to investors...
We’ve Built Ready-to-Use Financial Models
If you’re anything like me, it’s not easy to build professional-grade financial models that investors will take seriously…
If you’re structuring a Single Asset Fund, the right models help investors evaluate:
- Estimated returns across different deal scenarios
- Timelines for capital calls and distributions
- Waterfall structures that align incentives
- Sensitivity analysis for market shifts
When an investor sees models like these, they’re more likely to see you as prepared, serious, and structured — not someone just starting out.
And that matters.
Because while financial models don’t raise capital for you, they can support faster decision-making, stronger investor confidence, and repeat participation over time.
When your financial modeling reflects institutional-level thinking, investors notice.
They’re more likely to trust your structure.
They’re more likely to engage with your offer.
They’re more likely to come back again.
This is often the difference between hearing "let me think about it" versus "I’m ready to proceed."
Your Single Asset Fund deserves financial modeling that supports credibility — and that's exactly what we focused on.
We spent over $10,000 (technically $18,000 — but we negotiated them down) with a top-tier financial modeling firm to build complete, professional-grade models you can download and customize today.
The Excel Vault includes:
- Plug-and-play models for real estate, private equity, and more
- Cap tables that auto-calculate projected investor returns
- Advanced DCF models based on institutional standards
- Fund waterfall distribution models
- Pre-built investor reporting templates
Break a model? Just re-download a clean version.
You don't need to be an Excel Wizard.
You just need a structure that supports investor conversations — without slowing you down.
This is the kind of modeling typically used inside 8 and 9-figure funds — but made available here for operators like you working deal by deal.
And yes — your investors don’t need to know you didn’t build these from scratch.
The Excel Vault is included when you join the Single Asset Fund Incubator — no extra charge.
You’ll get lifetime access and can use it for every deal you run.
So ask yourself:
Would you rather spend 100 hours building models from scratch...
Or 10 minutes customizing ours — and getting back to actually closing?
The Excel Vault is waiting.
Join the Single Asset Fund Incubator today and it’s yours.
I'm ready to talk to investors—but can’t keep everything organized
All-in-One Communication & Marketing Tool
Most people aren’t closing as many deals as they could be because they’re still trying to manage investor relations with disconnected tools and broken systems.
Fund Launch 360 is the only all-in-one platform built by fund managers, for fund managers.
With Fund Launch 360, you get:
- Communication tools to engage and convert more investors
- Pipeline tracking that visualizes your entire capital-raising process
- Automations that save hours and keep momentum moving
- Calendar integrations so nothing slips through the cracks
- Email systems that support deliverability and response
- Investor-facing websites that look polished and convert well
Plus — the entire fund lifecycle in one place: from fundraising and formation to compliance, reporting, and distributions.
High-performing funds rely on structured systems like this to operate at scale.
If you're not using something similar... the question is: why not?
I’ve personally raised $45 million across my two funds, and I manage all investor communications inside Fund Launch 360.*
We’re tracking more deals, staying more organized, and running investor workflows with greater speed and clarity than ever before.
- It’s not because we’re smarter.
- It’s not because we have better deals.
- It’s because we’re using a system that was built to support fund managers at scale.
Fund Launch 360 is included when you join the Single Asset Fund Incubator.
Get access to the platform we rely on every day — and structure your investor operations the right way.
But how do I handle the legal side?
Full Legal Entity Formation
Most people go straight to a lawyer when raising capital.
Big mistake.
Legal should be one of the last steps — not the first.
You could spend $20,000–$30,000 on legal docs...
...then find out your deal isn’t viable.
Money spent. Deal dead. And this is why many funds never launch.
With Single Asset Funds, we do it smarter.
Validate first. Then go legal.
I always tell new managers to get 50% verbal commitments first.
Then formalize the legal structure.

Through our program, you get access to a full legal setup, which includes:
- Fund formation and filing
- Registered agent
- LPA
- Management agreements
- Operating agreements
- Banking setup support
- Compliance documentation through our legal partners
Everything is structured properly and professionally — once the deal makes sense.
When you join the Single Asset Fund Incubator, this setup is included through our partner network.
No need to figure it out solo.
No need to burn money before you’ve got momentum.
Validate your deal first. Then set it up the right way.
Join the Single Asset Fund Incubator and get your legal structure handled — as part of the full program.
This is all great but can I talk to other people like me?
Introducing - Private WhatsApp Community
You know what really determines success in the fund world?
It’s not just what you know or what you can do — it’s who you’re surrounded by.
One thing has become crystal clear to me: the most effective fund managers aren’t doing this alone.
They’re in the right rooms with the right people.
Think about Alexis Morgan — at just 21 years old, she raised $15 million.*
How? She chose to invest in herself by getting into the right communities.
She surrounded herself with people who were already doing the work.
When you start aiming for what once felt impossible — or when you stretch into a new level — your identity has to evolve.
That transformation happens faster when you’re walking with others on the same path.
The fund space can be isolating.
Tell your mother-in-law you’re raising capital and structuring a GP/LP vehicle, and she’ll probably change the subject.
Most people don’t understand this world — but we do.
That’s why our WhatsApp community is so powerful.
You’ll be connected to our other Single Asset Fund Managers — people actively raising, structuring, and scaling.
People who speak your language and wrestle with the same challenges you do.
Inside the group, we share real-world insights — what’s working in investor outreach, how people are closing, structuring, reporting, and scaling.
There’s no fluff — just actual peer support from operators doing the work.
As a Single Asset Fund Manager, you’re not just getting information — you’re getting perspective, clarity, and accountability.
And often, that makes the biggest difference.
Ask yourself: Where will you be 12 months from now if you keep working alone?
Now imagine where you could be with fifty serious fund managers in your corner — sharing strategies, giving feedback, and pushing you to think bigger.
That’s what our WhatsApp community offers.
Join the room that makes you smarter.
Join us — and become part of something that expands what’s possible.
