Nobody buys a bad deal on purpose.
Know the real numbers before your name is on it.
The listing shows the best case. Your savings pay for the worst case. The rent looked strong. The seller said it runs itself. Then the rehab ran double, the rent never showed up, and the savings were gone.
$75,000 overpaid
One unit sat empty for three months, and one tenant pays less than the listing claimed. That $6,300 gap in yearly rent, built into the price, adds about $75,000 to what you pay.
Losing $110 a month
Initially, rent minus the mortgage payment looked like $800 a month in profit. Add taxes, insurance, repairs, management, and empty months, and the property loses money every month.
$20,000 short on repairs
“I have about $30,000 to $40,000 left” on a half-finished house, with no itemized list behind it. The real cost to finish was $55,000.
$25,000 of profit, gone
The seller said it would be worth $280,000 after repairs. The three most accurately comparable renovated homes sold for about $255,000.
Eight Costly Mistakes That Sink Real Estate Deals
Most bad real estate deals don't look bad on the day you buy them. This free report walks through the eight mistakes that sink deal after deal, how to check for each one yourself, and a complete deal checklist you can bring to every property you look at.
Cheap insurance on your biggest purchase
Before you put hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars into a property, it's worth a few hundred to know the numbers are real. Keeping you from overpaying by even a few percent on a $1.5 million building saves you tens of thousands. Catching one inflated rent or one roof nobody priced in can save you many times the fee. Sometimes the most valuable answer is to walk away.

Who checks your numbers
Ja’sean Mansa founded Unified Property Partners to answer one question before anyone puts money in: what is this property really worth?
A former real estate agent, he has sourced and analyzed more than 50 closed investment transactions and run the numbers on hundreds more: homes, small apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.

The first job of an investor is to do everything in your power to kill the deal. The ones that survive that scrutiny are the ones you build wealth upon.
