Joe Cook is the founder and visionary for Equity Capital Funding Group, LLC. Joe’s extensive experience as a real estate investor spans decades and includes more than $426 million in real estate transactions.

Joe’s track record includes several hundred million in private lending transactions, several thousand residential preforeclosures as a principal, and several hundred fix and flip transactions. His domain of expertise is finding special opportunities, deep value, and providing investment results for passive investors.

Joe’s transactions include reviving a 54-acre residential development on the oldest golf course in Arizona, which included two subdivisions, three office buildings and related parcels, and a parcel that was sold for the development of a multifamily housing project.

Other past projects include a vacant theatre acquisition and reposition into a charter school, commercial office buildings, another golf course repositioned into multifamily housing, a manufacturing facility, office, and warehouse space, and thousands of residential acquisitions delivered on a wholesale basis to fix and flip professionals.

More recently he has been completing the development of 26 acres in the city of Maricopa, Arizona. Through a related company, Estrella Gin Business Park, 10.19 acres are earmarked for the construction and sale of a 195-unit multifamily project and a FLEX, light industrial building.

Joe’s current focus is on another private lending syndication. Fund XI anticipates providing investors with passive income collateralized by real estate with some unusually attractive redemption and portfolio characteristics.

Joe attended Utah State University where he studied math and finance. He and his family have lived in Arizona for nearly forty years.

Dan Fradenburgh brought his boutique CRM agency skills to real estate investment in 2014, and has been evolving from a full-stack developer into a Top Commercial Real Estate voice on social media.*

Widely regarded as one of the most serious syndicators about compliance, Dan has changed the way that hundreds of investors think about documentation and networking in the context of off-market deals.

In his growing reputation for being on the watch for coaches who take advantage of people new to the space, and syndicators who engage in fraudulent activities, Dan has been enjoying explosive growth on LinkedIn and in the commercial syndication space.

Dan has authored several books on business skill building, including attention-to-detail, and raising capital for real estate without violating SEC restrictions.

Chase serves as a principal of acquisitions for ECFG, where he spends his time sourcing deals nationally while also raising and managing equity partners. Previously, he served as an investor relations manager for ECFG, focused on raising capital for the development project Estrella Gin Business Park, a mixed use development highlighted by a 195 unit multifamily build in Maricopa County, just outside of Phoenix.

Prior to this, Chase spent 2020 and 2021 (covid years) attempting to represent corporate office users in the leasing of office space in New York City and nationally. When the writing on the wall became clear, he transitioned to working in acquisitions for a self storage owner/developer and quickly found out that transaction volume would stay well below historical averages for the foreseeable future.

With the amount of deals that Chase has looked at over the last few years, he is more motivated and humbled than ever to find the right deals that coalign with our investor base.
