See the risk before it owns you.

The Red Flag Playbook is a pair of practical field guides by Carson Jones for investors and entrepreneurs who want to spot risk before they commit capital. One covers passive real estate investing; the other covers buying and selling a business.

It covers how syndications work and where they break, the questions every sponsor should be able to answer, fees, waterfalls, taxes and the math behind your return, and real-world red-flag checklists and due-diligence steps. It is written for high earners, business owners and first-time limited partners evaluating multifamily, self-storage, oil and gas and other alternative investments.

It explains why the lease can make or break a business deal, the red flags in financials that sellers hope you won't notice, the risks of relying on franchisor "preferred reps," and practical steps to protect yourself when financing, structuring or exiting. It is written for entrepreneurs, acquisition buyers and owners preparing to scale or exit.

Carson Jones is a finance professional (BBA in Finance, Baylor University), a commercial real estate broker with eXp Commercial, a multi-industry entrepreneur, and host of Carson's Corner: Commercial Real Estate. He founded and leads Passive Investments. Meet Carson.
