20-year Marine Corp vet Adam Whitney has seen active combat, taken fire, and even mortar rounds in his military career-and was still ambushed by this nightmare deal. What appeared to be a simple, chunky off market opportunity with tons of meat on the bone ended up a deal that had more and more go wrong the longer he owned it. From the simple nick of a septic tank during the rehab to a broken boat dock and weathered sea wall, this canal-front property in an area with very high demand spiraled into well over $100,000 over budget and very little interest from buyers. Two realtors, tons of money, and a failed exit strategy later, Adam survived the nightmare and comes on the show today to share the story, warn other investors what to look for, and what you need to know to make sure this doesn’t happen to you. Continuing my Nightmare Deals Series, we pull back the curtain and share the REAL story of RE investing. Subscribe to The David Greene Show!

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!
