Episode notes
Always Demand a PPM
- Never invest without a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) as it discloses all risks.
- Absence of a PPM is a red flag signaling lack of legal compliance.
Investment Philosophy Drives Decisions
- Personal investment philosophy shapes deal selection, focusing on market, asset class, cashflow, and investment goals.
- Prioritize sponsors and teams in preferred markets rather than chasing every available deal.
Avoid First-Time Asset Class Sponsors
- Prefer sponsors with extensive experience in the specific asset class or partner with true experts.
- Avoid 'first rodeo' deals without proven track records in the asset or team cohesion.
