Hey Inner Circle! This week's Office Hours with Coach Joe is up and ready for you to watch. Good question and answer session, and a few things in here will save you money the next time you have a property under contract. Here's what was covered: Contractor, inspector, appraiser, in that order. Why the spacing between them matters, and how sending them out in the wrong order costs you money on a deal that was never going to work. Make the realtor send values, not just a list of properties. Coach Joe called this a tennis match he has been playing for 35 years, and he gave the exact language for getting values up front. You only need one way out of a contract. His fireman analogy, in reverse, plus where the financing clause protects you right up to the day of closing. Property taxes alone can kill a deal. A six unit in Columbus where the tax bill jumped from about $9,000 to roughly $17,000 against $40,000 of income. What causes it, and the phone call to make before you buy. The small profit margin script. What Coach Joe says when he goes back with a low offer, and why it is the opposite of what sellers are braced for. The golf ball jar. For anyone fitting deal analysis around a full time job, this is the part to watch. Go watch the replay and drop your questions below.
