Apologies for a beginner question or if there is already a thread.
How do minority investors protect themselves against legal issues and risk of fraud or theft? I see a couple of deals that I would be interested in but don't yet feel comfortable with the risk involved and how to protect my investment.
Any guidance or links would be greatly appreciated.
