Syndicated deals are complex negotiations between multiple partners or investors. This type of deal has a special title because it involves more than one buyer and sometimes more than one lender. Jason’s guest, Joe Fairless, chooses to invest along with other investors to show his conviction for the preferred deals. He says that the most important rule of investing at this level is to know and trust the other general partners involved in the transaction. Large deals of this nature may net ongoing cash flow or may include opt-out clauses for investors who wish to make their own terms.
