Mic’d Up: Adnan Merchant on Podcast: Mastering the Market: Navigating Real Estate Investment and Legal Strategies in 2025

The real estate private equity space is evolving rapidly, requiring fund managers to navigate complex regulatory, financial, and structuring challenges. On a recent episode of Weaver: Beyond the Numbers, Adnan Merchant, Managing Partner of MW Law, shared his expertise on real estate fund formation, capital raising, and compliance strategies.

Key Takeaways from the Episode:

  • Private Equity in Real Estate – More firms are pooling capital through structured funds to execute large-scale deals.

  • Structuring Funds vs. Joint Ventures – While joint ventures offer direct collaboration, private funds require SEC compliance and cater to passive investors.

  • Capital Raising Strategies – Institutional investors demand due diligence, while broker-dealer networks and RIAs help connect fund managers with high-net-worth investors.

“A well-structured fund isn’t just about raising capital — it’s about regulatory compliance, transparency, and long-term success,” notes Adnan Merchant.

For anyone in real estate private equity, understanding these legal and financial frameworks is crucial to building investor trust and ensuring long-term stability.
