ADVICE

Prep Your Forum Post

  • Do your homework before posting a deal to the community forum and include your analysis and specific questions.
  • That way experienced members will give targeted, useful feedback rather than crickets.
INSIGHT

Separate Sponsor And Deal Vetting

  • Vet sponsors and deals on separate tracks: sponsor reputation matters more than shiny pro forma numbers.
  • Good sponsor judgement requires referrals, track record checks, and community reps.
ADVICE

Write A One-Page Plan

  • Create a one-page annual investing plan listing capital, target asset classes, and preferred operators.
  • Use it as a flexible guide since timing and liquidity will rarely match the plan exactly.
