Nightmare Deal Series! In today’s show, I interview Chelsea Kopacz who shares her nightmare deal and the details that went into it. Chelsea stepped into her first RE deal through OOS investing in the Indianapolis area. The plan was to BRRRR a cheap out-of-state property, start a portfolio, learn a little bit, and keep the momentum going with the next one. Introduced to a wholesaler who also connected her with a lender, things started off well before they turned south. Using the information in my book Long Distance Real Estate Investing, Chelsea had clear and frequent communication during the rehab process with her contractor, who also ended up being her wholesaler…and property manager. What started off smoothly quickly turned south when Chelsea’s tenants stopped paying rent shortly after being placed in the property. Things got worse when she learned her PM/Contractor/Wholesaler was actually a scam artist who frequently ripped people off in similar ways. If you want to learn what to look for, what red flags to spot, and how to avoid this happening to you, check out Chelsea’s story today!

In this Nightmare Deals episode of Real Talk Real Estate, Janelle and Don Carlson open up about the first two deals they bought to start their investing career-and how they lost money in both. Janelle shares how she invested in a deal her personal mentor and RE broker put together, trusting him to look out for her and take care of her, only to find he outright stole her entire investment, sold the house, and never paid her a dime-all while driving a rolls royce, wearing a rolex, and flying in a private jet. Janelle shares the signs she ignored when she first met the scammer, how she could have protected herself, and what she told him when she saw him years later at an NBA game with a new date! Don and Janelle also share the story of two triplexes they bought for a total of $20,00 and how they somehow still lost money on this deal, explaining all the structural, location, and rehab related expenses they never saw coming. This show reveals how not all RE is glitter and gold, and signs you can recognize to make sure it doesn’t happen to you in this Nightmare Deals edition of RTRE.

What started off as “passive income” quickly became an absolute nightmare when today’s guest, Sokha Ngov, partnered with “experienced” flippers in exchange for 50% of the flip profits. Part of the “Nightmare Deals” series, today’s episode tells the horror story of a contractor taking money and not completing work, then used cheap, shoddy materials when they finally did. The JV partners involved in the deal stole money intended for the project and were forced off title through a lengthy legal process while staying in the house themselves. When the house wouldn’t sell post rehab, Sokha was forced to keep the property as a rental. Rather than lose money every month in a long term rental situation, Sokha even considered the short term rental route in a state that hates them and ultimately left $185,000 of hard earned savings in this nightmare. You’ll be shocked, appalled, and amazed at how many people took advantage of this investor in what should have been a straightforward flip. Make sure you download today’s show to learn how Sokha finally stabilized the property and got out from underneath the hell, as well as how you can avoid falling into a similar situation yourself on today’s episode of Real Talk Real Estate.

Another nightmare deal you have to hear about! What was supposed to be “passive income” through a triple net assisted living facility turned into anything but as Keith Filarsky bought two properties with seller financing and attempted to lease them out to businesses providing health care to the residents. Things quickly turned south when his tenant lost their license, stole money, and disappeared into the night-leaving keith with expensive vacancy and no way to find a new tenant quickly enough to provide health care for the residents. What was supposed to be a turnkey deal has turned into a six figure bleeding mess of a nightmare as one year later Keith is still trying to get himself licensed and new staff in place to run these properties he bought and can’t get rented. If you’ve ever heard about alternative investing strategies like assisted living facilities and want to know what happens when you turn the rock over, you won’t want to miss today’s show.
