How to Make a Million Dollars as an Independent Sponsor

On this episode of Investors & Operators, Jordan sits down with Drew Brantley, Managing Director of Frisch Capital Partners. Together, they go deep into all things independent sponsors:

• The different types of independent sponsors
• How (and why) to develop a thesis 
• How much cash should an independent sponsor have before closing on its first deal 
• “How much do I have to put into this? Does it have to be my cash?”
• How do independent sponsors get paid (a very detailed calculation)

...and so much more.
