The Fix & Flip That Almost Burned My Client

About this episode

This episode discusses a fix-and-flip deal that revealed significant financial risks despite initial appearances.

In this episode, I break down a real fix‑and‑flip deal that looked great on the surface… until we ran the numbers. My client was excited, the ARV looked strong, the rehab was light but once we dug deeper, the math told a completely different story. I walk you through: The red flags most investors miss How hard‑money costs can quietly destroy a deal Why MAO (Maximum Allowable Offer) saved this investor from a loss The exact numbers that showed this flip wasn’t worth it The discipline every investor needs before making an offer If you’re a fix and flip investor, or anyone analyzing deals in today’s market, this episode will sharpen your eye for risk and help you avoid thin‑margin mistakes that can wipe out your profit. This is how you protect your capital and make smarter investment decisions.
