    Some deals look good but carry hidden risk.

    I see it when:

    • Numbers are too tight
    • Assumptions are optimistic
    • No backup plan exists

    The difference isn’t always obvious upfront.

    Do you walk away from deals like that or try to make them work?


    Deals that look cheap on paper often come with a heavy load of
    risk,deferred maintenance, tenants from hell, or market issues that
    aren’t immediately obvious. Sometimes it’s better to pay more for a
    property that requires less guesswork and headache.

     Depends on the deal.
