I wanted to share a recent incident since I believe many of us who invest in real estate might learn something from it. I was trying to close what I believed would be my final contract of the year. At first, everything appeared hopeful as I worked with two new investors that I had only recently gotten in touch with. On paper, everything was going well, the figures were positive, and everyone was pleased with the way things were going. However, I made the decision to give the deal one last look before proceeding. At that moment, I noticed something that had previously unnerved me. Upon closer examination of the numbers and the whole situation, I came to the conclusion that if we proceeded, we might lose a significant sum of money with little to no reward. I had to tell the investors the truth about why I didn't think we should move forward. They were understandably unhappy. After all the effort and conversations that had gone into getting this far, they felt that their time had been squandered. Although it wasn't an easy talk, I think it's better to walk away from a bad transaction than to continue just because you've already put in the time and effort. This is what I want to know: If you were in my position, what would you have done?

Bedroom windows painted shut, locks missing, security bars without a release — egress items show up on report after report. An inspector tests the window. If it does not open fully, it fails, no matter how fresh the paint looks. What solves it is boring and reliable: test every bedroom window on every turn and every pre-walk. Open it fully, close it, lock it, and check the release on any security bars. Add egress to the written turn checklist, so it gets checked whether or not an inspection is coming. And when paint has sealed a window shut, cut the seal — never force the sash. Is egress part of your regular turn checklist, or does it only get checked before an inspection? What else lives on your "always check" list? Gelu Mergl · NSPIRE Photo-Check — The inspection before the inspection. · nspirephotocheck.com · Free 15-day trial
