We Almost Overpaid. Not Because of the Deal. Because of the Pressure. The numbers worked. But barely. We were up against a deadline. Another buyer was circling. Brokers were pushing hard. For a moment, we considered stretching. Just enough to win it. 🛑 Then we stopped. We

How I Vet Sponsors in Five Questions You don’t need a pitch deck. You need clear answers: ✅ What went wrong in a past deal and how did they fix it? ✅ Are they full-time or part-time operators? ✅ How do they manage downside? ✅ Are they personally invested? ✅ Will they show

One Contract Line Saved Us $400,000 The seller tried to walk away. Claimed we missed the deadline. Tried to keep our deposit. We reviewed the contract and found this: 📝 "Extension window subject to city’s written response." The city delayed. That clause saved us. We closed.

The $1M Text Came From a Favor... I helped someone vet a bad deal a few years back. No pitch. No ask. Just value. Last month? He sent me a text: “I’ve got $1M to place. Let’s do something.” We closed in 3 weeks. The point? The best capital doesn’t come from chasing. It comes
