In this episode, I sit down with securities attorney Nic McGrue of Polymath Legal to pull back the curtain on the legal side of private investing. Whether you’re an experienced investor or just starting to explore syndications and funds, this conversation is a must-listen. Nic walks us through what investors should really be looking for in offering documents, why some deals raise legal red flags, and how fund operators can stay compliant while raising capital.

We also dive into the gray areas of fund-of-funds, why offering referral fees can backfire, how to vet a GP team properly, and what red flags to watch for in advertisements and marketing. This episode is all about helping you protect your money—and your reputation—while navigating the world of private offerings with confidence.

1. Always ask for the PPM – If someone claims it’s just a joint venture, that’s a potential red flag. Passive investments typically involve securities that require disclosure.

2. Referral fees are risky territory – Unless done with strict adherence to SEC rules, they can trigger serious compliance issues.

3. Risk factors are your friend – A detailed list of risks isn’t a reason to run—it’s a sign of a well-drafted, transparent deal.

4. Avoid GPs with bloated teams – If most “GPs” are really just capital raisers, that structure could come back to bite everyone involved.

5. Know what you’re really investing in – When investing through a fund-of-funds, make sure you have access to the original fund’s documentation and understand the layers of fees and returns.

From growing up in Delaware County, PA, to navigating his first failed flip, Alex shares how he rebuilt through grit, networking, and a clear vision. He takes us through the evolution of his investment strategy, how his focus shifted toward private lending, and why integrity and relationship-building are the foundation of his success.

Hey everyone, I’m excited for you to join me on this episode of the Accredited Investors Only podcast. Today, I’m sitting down with Danny Gould, the founder of Go Capital, who took a unique path from pre-med at Stanford to becoming a private equity investor specializing in hotels. We unpack Danny’s incredible journey, from selling residential real estate in Silicon Valley to pivoting into hotel ownership, and how he turned a chance thought at a Las Vegas buffet into his life’s North Star.

We also break down the fundamentals of hotel investing, including what separates hotels from other real estate assets, the true value brands like Marriott and Hilton provide, and the current market dynamics creating unprecedented opportunities. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or exploring your first alternative investment, this episode will keep you engaged with actionable insights and real-world stories.
