Listen Later

In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Millionaires, we unpack one of the most critical success factors for Limited Partners (LPs) in real estate syndications: vetting the sponsor behind the deal.


While the numbers may look good on paper, the real investment is in the people running the show. A great sponsor can turn a good deal into a great return—and a bad one can lose your shirt. Whether you’re a first-time LP or a seasoned passive investor, this episode equips you with a practical framework to safeguard your capital and make smarter decisions before wiring a single dollar.


🔑 What You’ll Learn:

  • Why the sponsor is more important than the deal itself
  • The red flags and green flags every LP should know
  • Key questions to ask around track record, team, transparency, and communication
  • How to evaluate “skin in the game” and deal alignment
  • Understanding exit strategies, risks, fees, and timelines before you invest
  • The best way to verify a sponsor’s credibility—through other investors

💬 “You’re not just investing in real estate. You’re investing in people.”
