New AI Tool Helps LPs Underwrite Deals - E1058 - CFC May 01, 2025

Show notes

40% of limited partners in the last two years experienced capital calls, distressed assets—or worse…

This has left many LPs a bit lost in terms of their confidence in their due diligence process…

But one physician-turned-real estate investor thinks that’s about to change.

Today I sat with Dr. Sam Giardano, a practicing gastroenterologist who built an AI-based underwriting tool to evaluate syndications.

Now? He’s turned it into an AI-powered platform that can vet deals in seconds—and it just exploded from 1,500 to over 4,000 users.

In today's episode, he breaks down…

How his tool uses AI to extract 120+ risk metrics from offering memorandums
Why sponsors are uploading deals directly to his new LP marketplace
The #1 red flag he looks for in multifamily deals in 2025
How better underwriting transparency might finally bring LPs off the sidelines

Plus, he shares the surprising market insight he’s most bullish on heading into 2026...

If you're an LP who's still gun-shy from 2022, this tool (and this episode) could change the game for you.
