They don't cost you no money to do that if you rock with us and you support in the show if y'all could do those things i would greatly appreciate it and today i got another good episode this is going to be a quick one so it's sunday so y'all y'all you can listen to this and chill get on with y'all day it's going to be a pretty quick episode, but it's a lot of gems of value in this. And I'm going to get straight to it, as y'all know. So I got this email, and I'm not going to say the name as usual. And if I do say a name, it's not going to be the true name because I'm going to keep the privacy of the person that sent me the email. So let's get to it says, he messes me. He said, we met you and I, we met at Invest Fest. He said, I'll send you a pick of us another time on Instagram. I am also, I am a mentee of Welby as well. So that's what up. Shout out to my, my big bro, Wilby. He's going to be back on the show soon. That's going to be, that's going to be dope. I had to sign know with that. So let's get back to the story. So he says, lesson learned. I was looking to purchase a property in an affordable city in the northeast. I couldn't afford Boston. So as not to miss out on a property, I bought in Providence, Rhode Island. I asked many of my friends in a Boston area if they knew anyone in the

Providence area and no one was licensed or knew anyone reputable in Providence. I couldn't find

a referral or color in the area. Long story short, I found a white glove service referral agent

with residential properties in the Providence area. I allow her to choose the real estate attorney,

the home inspector, and the mold inspection. The listing agent who represented the sellers did

not disclose several issues and have since moved to Texas in a Spanish speaking. Dang. And it's so much more.

The kitchen referral did not check the GC license.

It turned out that his license expires in 2017.

Still, in 2025, and my kitchen is worse than when it started.

And since he has not registered, I cannot sue him.

After reporting him to the GC board, I decided to settle for 2,500 so as not to risk

getting it nothing if i went to court lesson i'm learning verify gc license get several opinions

compare several estimates verify clarify clarify scope of practice contract do not rush i'm grateful

for your podcast about darius and that's it. I appreciate you sending me that email, bro.

That's good.

And getting straight to it, it's five key takeaways from this because this is a quick

story in this real estate.

And this might sound simple, but these things are a lot of people could take missteps

and skip over these things.

So the first one is you never rush in a real estate deal out of fear and missing up. Never ever do that, y'all. I know you see people talking about real estate all the time on social media. People make it, they glamorize it, make it sound sexy, and it can be. But you don't enter the deals just because you like I need to get in

real estate I don't want to miss out because FOMO it will cost you more than waiting ever will
