The Three WORST Real Estate Deals We've Made

Last episode, we talked about the seven deadly sins of real estate investing. While we were recording it, Cam and I started getting into some of the actual bad deals we'd done. And I said, let's just do a whole episode on that. So here it is. Three worst deals each. We go through what went wrong, what it cost us, and what we learned. Some of these are embarrassing. Some of them happened after we already knew better. All of them are worth hearing before you make the same mistakes. Cam lost $80,000 on a house where the previous flippers did everything wrong and didn't pull a single permit. I spent 12 months of my life on a duplex and sold it for less than I paid. We talk about bad math, bad contractors, old houses, ignored properties, and the moment you get an offer the first weekend and turn it down because you're greedy. We also end on the best deals we've ever done. Because it's not all horror stories. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 00:50 - Brandon's Worst Deal #1: The Duplex with a View 04:15 - Cam's Worst Deal #1: $80K Loss, No Permits, Gutted Twice 08:46 - Brandon's Worst Deal #2: The Cliff House 10:52 - Cam's Worst Deal #2: The 1904 House 18:30 - Cam's Worst Deal #3: The Very First Flip 20:15 - What To Do When Deals Go Wrong 22:37 - Best Deals We've Ever Done 💬 Drop a comment: what's the worst deal you've ever done or almost done?
