“When I started doing PPM for these syndication deals, I’m like “What do you mean there's cash flow?” I am just enamored by this world now and having the law background has provided sort of different color for that.”

3 Key Points:
- Don’t invest with an operator who guarantees you positive returns as it’s not allowed. As a limited partner, you’re protected from those and the liability would go to the operator.
- It’s important to tell potential investors about the potential risks in a deal upfront instead of telling them after they’ve made their investment.
- You can’t solicit or advertise your deals publicly if you’re conducting an offering under Rule 506(b) thus, seeing those offerings in social media is a red flag to look out for.
