The Deed on Due Diligence: Dodging Drama in Real Estate Deals

What happens when you don’t do your due diligence? You end up with problems, like fights with contractors, surprises with your property, or worse yet, gotchas in contracts that you didn’t expect. On today’s show we describe how we didn’t go our due diligence when it came to a recent guest. Scott Carson purchases mortgage notes, and we featured Scott on a recent episode. We’d met him and enjoyed talking to him. Plus, he seemed like a great teacher. What wasn’t to like? Sadly, after he appeared on the show, we heard from some of YOU that there had been complaints about Scott’s company. It wasn’t hard to find the evidence on our own (with a quick Google search). What did we find? What do we make of the issues with Scott and his company? We’ll share everything, including how we do NOT agree with some of the discussions about Scott online, where we think Scott may have had issues, but most importantly, how WE got it wrong and what we learned through this whole process that you can use when buying your next property.

Plus, we also share a headline ripped from the press AND Doug shares his world-famous (soon to be) pop quiz trivia question. That, AND a call from a Deeder on today’s show!
