Removing Conditions on Purchase Contract

Podcast Episode 94:
“Removing Conditions—Should I or Shouldn’t I?

Conditions on a real estate purchase contract should only be removed once the due diligence is complete. But what if the conditions are sort of met, but not completely? Should you still remove conditions if the property seems good, the numbers appear to work, and due diligence is more-or-less done?

As you can probably guess, things weren’t what they were supposed to be, but the deal was already done by the time our investor figured out what was really happening!
