#293: A Haunting Story of a Home-Run Deal That I F**ked Up... and What We Learned From It


Listen Later

Every investor has a deal that got away. For me, one in particular still stings—not because of market timing or bad luck, but because the failure was entirely within my control.


In this solo episode, I share the story of a property I pursued back in 2018–2019 that had all the makings of a “holy grail” deal... and how I whiffed on it. More importantly, I unpack the lessons learned that continue to guide my investing approach today—and that I hope will save you from making the same mistake.


Join us as we explore:

  • Why “standard terms” like financing contingencies can cost you a deal in competitive situations
  • How conviction and speed separate winners from losers in direct-to-seller negotiations
  • Why collaboration with experienced investors could be the solution when you lack capital or balance sheet strength
  • The importance of tying up a great deal first—and figuring out structure second
  • How my approach today has flipped, and why I now act with the speed and confidence that once beat me out
