An appraisal can totally kill a deal and what&#39;s most unfortunate about this is how late they usually are in the transaction. Picture yourself in a situation where an appraisal comes in WAY under value just days before the contract end date. What do you do? Let&#39;s see how Mr. Francisco Martinez was able to navigate this situation. Was he able to save the deal? You&#39;ll have to tune in to find out!

This is something that you never what to hear as an agent, who&#39;s days before closing a transaction. Just the thought alone of having to speak with a lender about this is enough to make you nauseous. This would certainly kill a deal for most transactions. Did it stop this one?

This one is a double whammy because not only was the client somehow married to some one who was already married, but they also sold their house to the the other person without even knowing that they sold it to them.

We have been off the scene for a little while now and we wanted to explain why. Simply put, the previous version didn&#39;t feel authentic to who we are and it felt like we were doing what everyone else was doing.. and that just didn&#39;t feel right to us. So what did we do? We changed every aspect of the show to fit what we felt was right to us. We wanted to highlight the not so great situations that investors find themselves in during projects and transactions.

Often times being real estate smart extends far beyond how to analyze deals. This one had nothing to do with comps or “the numbers”, this one was riddle with family drama and legal trouble.

Daughter’s trying to sell their house, but the grandfather owns the house that the land is on. 3. Title company couldn’t insure title because they couldn’t prove that the signature of the heirs weren’t forged. 4.

Gloria Gutierrez - The Importance Of Educating Yourself and How To Level Up and Build An Effective Team

Welcome to the UnReal Estate podcast. Here you’ll hear experiences from active and passive investors, realtors, brokers, capital raisers, lenders, and other real estate professionals that are completely unreal, but are totally true. Experience is the best teacher so we hope that hearing these unbelievable stories will not only give you a good chuckle, but also help make smarter decisions. There's a lot more to real estate than what you may have studied in the course you took. These experiences will have you going through that YouTube course or flipping through your study guide going "We'll they didn't have this part in the course!".This podcast is hosted by JaQuita and Marcus, who you may know as Shakey and Marcus from YouTube. We’re currently knocking on the door of having a decade of experience. The podcast is an extension of The Smartest Real Estate Investor Meet Up, a group specifically designed to get the most out of every networking opportunity. While we love and have a ton of fun doing what we do, this experience allows us to form partnerships, do meaningful work, and build meaningful relationships.
