The Home Stretch: From Mortgage Approval to the Closing Table by Jo Garner
In this episode, we walk you through the real story behind selling one of our earliest rental properties, a deal we once thought we'd hold forever, and how close it came to completely unraveling at the finish line. We break down how a roughly $20,000 investment each turned into nearly $90,000 each in just over four years, why we ultimately chose to sell a cash flowing property instead of holding it long term, and what this decision taught us about portfolio restructuring, liquidity, and the velocity of money. We also unpack the exact chain of events that almost killed the deal, including FHA financing hurdles, inspections, township certificates of occupancy, and the last minute fixes that had to happen to get this transaction across the finish line. This episode is part case study, part cautionary tale, and part reminder that real estate is a relationship game, not just a spreadsheet. We share how the right agent, lender, and contractor quite literally saved this deal, why being resourceful and calm under pressure matters more than most people realize, and how moments like this shape the next stage of your investing journey. If you're buying your first rental, scaling your portfolio, or wondering when it actually makes sense to sell, this conversation will change how you think about the game and what it really takes to win long term.

Yesterday afternoon, the White House made a much soon than expected announcement….a 25% on imported autos. That means higher car and auto part prices, right when the average American is already stretched to the limit. But here's the real questions for us. How does this ripple into the real estate market and prices, where consumers are already struggling to afford a home? We'll discuss it.
On today's show we are talking about closing a transaction. States have different methods for recording a transaction on title. Some states use lawyers to close transactions. These are most commonly referred to as attorney closing states where a lawyer is required in addition to the title company. There are a total of 18 states that require attorneys to close. The remaining states can close transactions strictly with title companies. Some provinces in Canada that used to be exclusively lawyer close provinces also offer the option of closing with title companies. But these are less common, simply because that has not been the traditional practice. Simple residential transactions involve a buyer, a seller, a price and are usually based on standard real estate board contract. Everything looks familiar to the title agent and it's a paint by numbers exercise. Drafting the closing statement is very standard and the title agent is following a prescribed formula for completing the transaction. In order to make things simple and repeatable many title companies create rule books for their title agents to follow. This restricted path is meant to eliminate possibility for errors and is designed to enhance the overall quality of the customer experience. But these rule books don't contemplate the more complex structures associated with a commercial transaction and the complexity of a multi-party transaction with many moving parts and then further involving one or more qualified intermediaries who are also imposing their requirements on the closing process. You will often hear that what is being requested cannot be done. It violates the rule book at the title company. Of course the client is not going to be able to convince the tile agent that they need to change their process. In that instance, the only viable solution in our experience is to get your real estate lawyer, who hopefully is well versed in the complexity of the transaction to provide the direction to the title agent on how to conduct the transaction. The lawyer will tell them exactly the same thing that you did. But the title company will listen to the lawyer, when they won't listen to you. This is one of those cases where there are so many people involved in closing the transaction that the most important role for you is to assign a quarterback for the entire transaction. That person's role is to get people communicating who don't think they need to talk to each other. Everyone is sitting in their corner with their rule book waiting for everyone else to meet the criterial stipulated in their rule book and nothing moves. ----------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Six years ago, Henry Washington had just $1,000 in the bank and bad credit. He knew something had to change after a panic attack at 3:00 in the morning. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan and Henry sit down to unpack Henry's path from newly married, lousy credit, and no money to 116+ rental properties and doing at least 15 flips a year. Henry is the cohost of the On the Market podcast and author of the upcoming book Real Estate Deal Maker. You'll hear Henry's revelation about real estate following a panic attack in the middle of the night and how he began making connections with other investors by attending meetups regularly. He explains to Jonathan how his first property landed in his lap, and he had to Google his way through the transaction. Henry outlines the immensity of his wife's support as he pursued an investing career, why consistently attending meetups matters, and how he solved the two problems that most investors face. Jonathan and Henry delve into the importance of working with a local bank, treating your investments like a business, and when he realized hiring property managers was more beneficial than managing the assets himself. Finally, they discuss the market cycle and finding deals in any market, what Henry's mastermind is all about, and the two things you should focus on in any market. Henry's story is the epitome of what persistence, a learning mindset, and focus can achieve, and he wants you to know you can do it, too. In this episode, you will hear: Henry Washington's background in a traditional family and why he didn't consider real estate until he was 36 How he started his real estate career by writing down his goals in a notebook and learning as much as he could The first deal that came Henry's way and how he positioned himself to pounce on it Google's role in his first deal and learning as he worked the deal The help Henry got from an experienced investor which led him to borrow against his 401(d) and buy his first property Why his wife's support made all the difference in pursuing real estate investing The two problems most investors face and how Henry solved both Henry's determination to learn about wholesaling and find the best deals Treating real estate investing like a business to benefit all parties in the transaction When Henry realized he could quit his day job if he wanted to His decision to turn all property management over to a property management company The reason he's still flipping properties and finding deals The difference between Henry's mastermind and others on the market and what he teaches people Two things you should focus on in any market conditions Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Structuring Deals, Putting out Fires and Getting Clients to the Closing TableWe delivered a Special Edition of Poised for Exit today and had the privilege of interviewing two experts on how collaboration works and why it can make or break a deal. Brett Larson, M&A Attorney with Messerli Kramer and Colin Johnson, Managing Director at Wipfli Corporate Finance were our guests and talked about how they work together structuring deals, putting out fires and getting their clients to the closing table. When it comes to achieving the best outcome for a business exit, using the right team with essential areas of expertise makes all the difference. Colin says it all starts by understanding and aligning with the owner's goals and sometimes he has to work to help the owner discover what they really want. Colin's investment banking skills and background make him the kind of advisor owners believe has their back. Colin won't take a deal unless he believes he can get it done. Brett agreed that the owner's goals are at the top when helping them decide the right path for exit. Brett and Colin have a clear understanding of how to work together collaboratively. Sometimes Brett is driving and sometimes Colin is in the lead yet each know when to step back to let the other take over. Brett says that when an owner comes to him late in the game, for instance already having a Letter of Intent, he needs to "get smart fast" on what's happening with the owner's business and the owner in terms of assessing and mitigating risk as much as possible. The key to keeping momentum going and to avoid deal fatigue is to have the right people on the team. With the right expertise at the table, the flow of the transaction takes less time thereby reducing cost and stress for the owner and everyone else. Listen to the episode to learn more about their take on market conditions and what owners should do to prepare themselves for a future sale.

If your partner passes out flyers in their office for your Mix & Mingle , but didn't repost it in their stories, would you tell your friends they don't support you?Do we have any right to impose our feelings on someone else's right to post (or not post) whatever they want on their own social media accounts?Tune in as the ladies prove that there is no tea too hot for The Closing Table.

Keep in mind that this year's Summit is less than a week away, so make sure you watch this clip and then get your tickets today!
