Every real estate deal walks a thin line from start to finish. Many things can happen to tank the deal, or kill the profits. I have hundreds of conversations a year with full-time professional real estate investors. One of the facts that I see repeatedly that amazes me is how many investors are skipping the insurance policy on their wholetail or “Deep clean and list” deals.
