Who This Is For

Everyone wants in on big deals.
Almost nobody knows how to get there.

You're not stuck because you lack drive or deals.
You're stuck because nobody handed you the role that actually gets you into the room.

This Is For You If:
  • You want into commercial real estate but have no interest in being a full-time operator
  • You've been told you need years of experience before anyone will take you seriously
  • You know people with capital but have no idea how to legally put it to work
  • You're active in real estate communities but still feel like the big deals are out of reach
  • You want to build something real — not just take another course and sit on the information
This Is Not For You If:
  • You're looking for a passive investment — that's not what this is
  • You want someone else to do it for you
  • You're not willing to put in the work to build real relationships with operators and investors

If you’re still reading,
you’re in the right place.

Meet the Founders

We built this from the deals
we’ve actually closed.

Everything inside Funds Formula comes directly from what we built, the mistakes we made along the way, the compliance lessons we learned firsthand, and the deals we’ve closed by doing exactly what we teach.

Karolyn Briley

Karolyn Briley

Co-Founder, Opal Equity

Karolyn entered real estate in 2021 with zero dollars and zero doors. She quit her W-2, burned the boats, and went all in. By the end of 2022 she had her first 43 units. She then shifted her focus from running deals to structuring them — becoming a trusted capital partner with the right operators. In 12 months, she went from 43 units to over 430. Today she’s a partner in over 600 units across a $350MM+ portfolio.

“I stopped acquiring deals as an operator and used my relationships, structure, and strategy instead. I’m starting with proximity, learning how capital moves, and plugging into the right strategic partnerships to scale quickly.”

Christy Schnurle

Christy Schnurle

Co-Founder, Opal Equity

Christy spent the first five years of her career at WNC & Associates — one of the top privately held affordable housing owners in the U.S. — working in acquisitions, underwriting, and due diligence across nearly $300MM in closed transactions. She’s been inside this industry longer than most people have been paying attention to it. As co-founder of Opal Equity and The REI Board, and an MBA graduate with honors from USC, Christy brings analytical depth and a real-world track record.

“The analytical depth and real-world track record that turns an overwhelming space into a clear, executable plan.”

Together, Christy and Karolyn used this same model to structure their own capital raise, access a 168-unit Class B+ multifamily asset in Addison, TX, and deliver early distributions and a 93% K-1 paper loss to their investors in year one.


This isn’t a program built by people who read about capital raising. It’s built by people who are actively doing it, and have been for years.

Capital Raiser’s Fast Track

Inside Your First 90 Days

A structured, sequenced curriculum built from real raises. Every module tells you exactly what to do next — no guessing, no gaps, no wasted motion.

Capital Raiser’s Fast Track
Chapter 01
By Day 30
01

You stop being curious. You start being credible.

Identity

Claim Your Lane

You can’t show up as a capital raiser until you know what kind you’re becoming.

Month one is the part most people skip — and the part that determines whether the next sixty days compound. You stop guessing which deals to look at. You start knowing which lane is yours.

By day thirty you stop introducing yourself as someone exploring capital. You start as someone who has chosen a lane, built an investor avatar, and knows exactly what to say.

By Day 30 you’ll have
  • A defined niche focus (multifamily, self-storage, co-living)
  • A complete investor avatar from your existing network
  • A working elevator pitch that positions you credibly
  • A clear capital partner lane aligned to your goals

Chapter 02
By Day 60
02

You begin operating like an insider, not an applicant.

Relationships

Build the Relationships That Open Deals

This is where most people stall. Month 2 is designed to get you moving.

By month two, the work moves out of the notebook and into the room. You begin reaching out — not as a stranger asking for time, but as someone with a defined lane and a real reason to be in the conversation.

You learn how to evaluate operators the way insiders do. You build the language of capital flow, share classes, fees, and waterfalls. By day sixty, you are no longer auditioning. You are participating.

By Day 60 you’ll have
  • A working operator pipeline with 2–3 real conversations started
  • The Operator Vetting Scorecard applied to real operators
  • Knowledge to evaluate any deal structure intelligently
  • Understanding of capital flow, share classes, fees, and waterfalls

Chapter 03
By Day 90
03

You can move the day the call comes.

Readiness

Show Up Ready

When the right deal appears you won’t have time to scramble. Month 3 ensures you don’t have to.

Month three is the dress rehearsal that becomes the real thing. Your credibility kit is built. Your messaging is sharp. Your structure is decided.

By day ninety you walk into every conversation carrying confidence — not waiting for it to arrive. You can move the day the call comes.

By Day 90 you’ll have
  • A credibility kit to send operators and investors today
  • An investor communication plan for your network
  • Clarity on which fund structure fits your path
  • A launch-readiness checklist so nothing slips

Lee Gunasinghe

Commercial Real Estate Investor

608 Units in 1 Year

Lee spent over a decade investing on his own. Then he had a quadruple bypass, and it forced a hard question: what happens to everything I’ve built if I’m not here to run it?

He needed a path that didn’t depend entirely on him. After joining Funds Formula, Lee closed a 128-unit deal of his own. Then he set up a 480-unit Fund of Funds, partnering with an operator managing over 1,500 doors and 4 hotels. He went from a few doors to 608 units in a single year.

Not because he out-worked everyone. Because he learned the right skill at the right time.

They have shown me, taught me, and advised me how to improve my portfolio, how to vet investors and operators properly, how to create a Fund of Funds correctly, and how to navigate SEC guidelines and compliance. I’m grateful and thankful for what they have taught me and for showing me the path to be a smart and successful multifamily owner operator.
