Scott Smith is the founder of Royal Legal Solutions, an asset protection attorney, and a long-time real estate investor. He believes that life gets easier the more protected you get.

WS1138: Vetting Passive Syndication Deals with Samuel Giordano, M.D.
When passively investing in real estate, a big question that an investor asks is, “How do I vet a syndication deal?” Upfront, an investor must look at investment structure and returns, the market, and the risks.

But, how do you know if you can trust the sponsor who’s leading the deal?Dr. Samuel Giordano, a practicing gastroenterologist, author, real estate investor, and co-founder of passiveadvantage.com, walks us through some processes in evaluating syndication deals and sponsors in this episode. Hear the questions that investors should be asking of sponsors, the important metrics to consider, and educational materials that will help prepare for the initial investment. Sponsors, too, could glean lessons on handling decisive dialogues with potential investors.
