In this episode, Theo explains the communication process with your passive investors when you decided to sell your deal. Theo first gives you the outline of the process and then dives into each step into detail with you to make sure you are prepared to communicate with your investors when you are selling your own deal. He also explains the email templates Joe uses when he has sold his own deals and makes them available to you.
