Key Takeaways

1. Be fully committed and if change happens then go full throttle in the next direction. 
2. It's very very difficult to be a part-time active investor. 
3. It's better to learn to be a passive investor first and then head into active once you have more experience. 
4. Focus on your expertise. 
5. The people matter most. Look at the team and its track record before the numbers. 
6. 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! 
7. Try expanding your portfolio and look at multiple deals. 
8. Investing is for the long game… don’t try to make millions overnight.
