About this listen

In this episode of the Legacy Builders Podcast, I break down a recent acquisition attempt that looked perfect on paper — and then completely collapsed two days before closing.

After months of underwriting, structuring, and hiring an operator, the SBA loan was denied due to out-of-state ownership restrictions. I ultimately lost around $7,000 in earnest money and setup costs.

We talk through:

• SBA financing realities • Red flags in lender communication • Hiring before closing • Emotional impact of deal failure • Lessons learned from losing money • Why patience matters in acquisitions

Building generational wealth isn’t just about the wins — it’s about learning how to fail forward.
