Episode notes

Return guests Bibek Das, Eric Workman, and Matt LaCosse join us to discuss a 5-unit deal with a lot of hair on it!

Matt (buyer on this deal) starts by talking about how our very own Mark Ainley (buyer's agent) brought this 5-unit property in Batavia to his attention. Eric (the lender on this deal) dives into the lending aspect of this deal and the group discusses the offer formulation and negotiation process. Bibek (the buyer's attorney) explains the meaning of appraisal waivers and "AS-IS" offers. Navigating a plumbing leak the day before closing and escrow holdbacks are also topics of discussion on this show. The episode is closed out with lessons learned from this "hairy" but ultimately amazing deal!
