#128 - Inside the Fine Print: PPMs, Trust, and Investor Protection with Seth Bradley


Episode 128


What do private placement memorandums really mean for you as an investor? 


Hosts Tait Duryea and Ryan Gibson sit down with attorney and real estate operator Seth Bradley to pull back the curtain on syndication documents, accreditation rules, and what truly protects investors. Seth shares his personal journey from med school to big law to entrepreneurship, and why his legal background gives him a unique perspective on raising capital and building passive income. Discover why trust in the operator matters more than projections, what to look for in waterfalls and fee structures, and the real truth about accredited investor requirements. Find out what every high-income professional should know before signing their first PPM.


Seth Bradley, Esq. is a securities attorney, entrepreneur, and real estate investor. After careers in both medicine and big law, Seth founded his boutique firm, Raise Law, where he advises syndicators and investors on structuring deals and protecting capital. As both an operator and investor, Seth brings a rare perspective, combining legal expertise with hands-on real estate experience.
