Look at the team and its track record before the numbers. Look for transparency in the sponsor and ask what challenges they've faced and how they overcame them. Don't be afraid to ask questions! Try expanding your portfolio and look at multiple deals. Investing is for the long game… don’t try to make millions overnight.  Resources MentionedRich Dad Poor Dad - Robert T.
