Being an accredited investor, most real estate funds seeking capital should be willing to share detailed financials of previous and upcoming deals.In my real estate fund we have taken potential investors through step by step analysis of our due diligence on our offerings.One of my favorite questions to ask investors is about their most challenging property and how they've learned from their mistakes.
