In this episode of Bad Deals Only, we start exactly where you expect and exactly where you do not. Chinese food economics, lobster sauce loyalty, and why New England Chinese food might be its own protected ecosystem. From there, things escalate fast. We get into how today’s real estate deals are actually dying, not because of pricing, but because of inspections, unrealistic expectations, and buyers feeding reports straight into ChatGPT. We break down how inspections used to work, how they work now, and why agents who do not prepare clients are setting deals up to fail. We also cover: • Why inspection timelines are stretching longer • How AI is changing buyer behavior for better and worse • The difference between normal wear and actual deal killers • What good agents do before inspections even happen • Why some inspectors write reports like doomsday novels Then we dive into real life bad deal stories pulled from the wild. Stolen cars dumped on listings, AC units ripped off houses, a sawed off shotgun falling out of a roof, celebrity sellers blowing up deals over five thousand dollars, and how ego kills more transactions than money ever does. If you work in real estate, lending, law, or you are just fascinated by how deals fall apart behind the scenes, this one is for you. Bad Deals Only No hype. No guru nonsense. Just what actually happens.
