Speaker 2

Except we kind of name drop in private ? We do , we do for sure . I was thinking the other day and

New Year, New You!

Speaker 2

my wife actually gave me this idea there's some people that are out there in the real estate world that don't really have the best reputation , right , we should bring them on the show and talk to them , let them clear the air . What do you think about that ?

Speaker 1

Oh , I think that's a really great idea .

Speaker 2

Right .

Speaker 1

I know quite a few people just from today we could reach out to .

Speaker 2

And everybody should get an opportunity to put themselves out there , explain themselves . These are small circles and you guys that are writing us , we appreciate the letters . We would love to have you guys on the show , but also there's some people out there that we would love to reach out to , and if you got some beef or some quarrels out there in the real estate world , come on the show , let's talk about it . Put your information out there .

Speaker 1

Your wife is so amazing . I like that . I've already thought new year new you . Yeah Right , everyone's like . New year new me , new year new you . Come , tell us your side of the story .

Speaker 2

Redemption or not redemption , or just tell everybody Fuck off Pretty much . All right , or just solidify your position of being an a-hole right . That's great . All right , let's reach out to some people .

Speaker 1

Here's your opportunity . If you're listening to this , all 14 people . If you know someone , adam you know , screenshot it , send it to them . If you know who they're beefing with , even better .

Speaker 2

Yeah that's juicy .

Speaker 1

You know , and who has enough balls to come do it .

Speaker 2

I think that would really tell a story too . If you got the balls to do that , you would definitely win some respect from us , at least from the Realish podcast for sure . We may not like you anymore than we do now , but at least you'll have your side of the story out there on the internet forever .

Speaker 1

I think this is great , and this kind of goes into what we're going to talk about today

Dirty Deal Dan

Speaker 1

. We have a pretty good one . This is called dirty deal .

Speaker 2

Dan , okay , I'm just gonna jump right into the okay , guys all right . So I've got a real effed up confession and I'm panicking here . I was involved in a ?

Speaker 1

sorry . Can you read this as written ?

Speaker 2

I'm trying to think of the kids , joe fucking kids are listening to us all right , I got a real fucked up question .

Speaker 2

And I'm panicking here . I'm trying to save y'all with virgin ears out there . I was involved in a deal where I know about a buried oil tank leaking in fucking mold in the walls . This is terrible , but I covered it all up . I didn't disclose either of those things , thinking I could just get the sale done and move on . Now I'm terrified . I've put people's health and safety in serious danger . I knew that the tank was leaking and the mold was growing , but I didn't say a word . Everyone was buying houses without inspections at the time and I took advantage of it . Now I'm scared , shitless . I'm going to get sued or , worse , someone's going to get seriously hurt because of my negligence . What the hell do I do now ? How do I come clean without ruining my life and how do I stop making things worse for the people I might have fucked over ? I'm honestly at a loss here . No signature was given . Oh , oh , my gosh , all right . Well , oh , oh , my gosh , all right .

Speaker 1

Well .

Speaker 2

Well , okay .

Speaker 1

All right , so I keep having to clear my throat . I don't know if I've drank this too soon , but that's good news for you guys , because let's talk to no signature was given , which is why we called him Dirty Deal , dan . I don't even really know where to begin . I don't even really know where to begin , I think , because I think it's really fucked up to hide mold in a leaking oil tank .

Speaker 1

Now I get it Now . Let me just stop there , because some of you probably , like already have started went in defense mode . I'm not talking about you selling a house as is . I'm not talking about oil tank in the ground that you knew was there . That's up to in Virginia , by the way . It's up to everyone to discover those things . I think what's fucked up is you hit it .

Speaker 1

Yeah yeah , you know it was leaking and you hit it , or you knew there was mold . And imagine a little baby and family moving in the house and someone has like severe asthma .

Speaker 2

Right .

Speaker 1

Um , this one's , I'm not going to tell you . It's tough to do the right thing , and I'm glad you're being haunted by it .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 1

But what do you do , right has ? This ever happened to you or someone you know . Like have you said oh my God , I just feel so guilty . Let me go tell them . So they sue me today .

Speaker 2

Right , yeah , that's where I'm at with it . It's like you know . Obviously he's having , you know , remorse about it , right , and that's good . It shows that you thought about it . But it seems like you did the deal and you thought about it after the fact , right , and you're worried now that you're going to get in trouble and you know these are things that are very dangerous right to somebody . So you've identified that . So , knowing that these things were possible , and you did it anyway and you said you hit it right without everybody was buying , without inspections , you thought you could get away with it . Dirty deal , dan . And I think that's the most disappointing in this . And , like I said , everybody's been in a situation where maybe they had second thoughts about something they did after the fact . But I would say in your situation , there is a chance that someone could get seriously hurt because of your negligence . So I guess the question is now what does he do ?

Speaker 1

I don't know . Well , he should tell someone , right , because it's kind of messed up .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I agree .

Speaker 1

So I would say , just go tell him . You don't have to tell him that you hit it .

Back To It

Speaker 1

but why don't you just go say , hey , I've discovered .

Speaker 2

Right . Right , because it sounds like he's still kind of in this deal , so to speak . So it's not too late . I don't think , dirty Deal , dan , for you to do the right thing , and obviously you want to come clean . I don't think it's going to ruin your life , especially if you get in front of it now and say , hey look , I discovered something . I didn't know about it . Whatever the case is , you know , even if you do a little white lie , but it for the greater good , to protect these people that could potentially have no idea about this , you know about it , they have no clue .

Speaker 2

So come clean , do the right thing . Even you can even say I can help you , or put some money towards getting it done , or whatever the case is , or credit whatever it is you got to do . I think that would at least partially absolve you . I mean , nobody has to really know I'm not going to tell you to lie , necessarily , but nobody has to know how you came to discover right , like you said , joan , like , but the fact that you have that information .

Speaker 1

Now it's time to use that power to do the greater , to do the better thing , do the right thing , so To do the better , thing , do the right thing , so that's where .

Speaker 1

I'm at . You know , unfortunately , seven out of ten investors go out of their way not to do the right thing . Oh for sure . Like they , unfortunately and if this is you , I'm not sorry if this hits home they go out of their way to say I'm not cleaning that mold . We get a lot of mold in Virginia . Right , I mean , we just do . I'm not doing this , I'm not doing that . Screw their electrical and say their flippers right Just because it looks pretty and it's white and gray .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 1

And a lot of that was happening in COVID . Everybody was a flipper , everybody had a little extra money , everything was easy , everything was selling quick and for a lot and then you go get when they did do an inspection after they closed laundry list right 70-page reports . And Virginia y'all is a buyer beware state , oh yeah , which means the seller really doesn't have to disclose anything . Now , they should never hide it . That's a different story . Remember , we're not attorneys for anyone over here shaking their head like I'm wrong message um , but you don't .

Speaker 1

There's only a couple things you have to disclose , right , meth lab , lead-based paint .

Speaker 2

You know it's all in those disclosures . Guys , Right Read your contracts .

Speaker 1

Exactly , and so a lot of people were doing shitty business and I think some of it's came back on . Some folks Agreed and some people are just so happy with that interest rate and payment they don't even want to know what they don't want to know , like I'll find out in two years , yeah you know , and so I mean you should make sure that they're good , right it . But you are gonna hurt your reputation , for sure . But it's going to hurt you way more than if you don't , I think .

Speaker 2

If they find out after the fact and then you know it's going to be a lot harder to explain that you know a year or six months a year down the line than it is if you know , you just closed on and say , hey , I went back in the house because I was clearing some things out or whatever . I found out there was some mold and I think it's really important that you guys take advantage of getting this fixed and let me know how I can help , because I feel like I'm responsible .

Speaker 2

Yeah , that will go a long way , I think . Dirty Deal Dan . I love that , by the way , the triple and entendre . Dirty Deal Dan .

Speaker 1

He didn't name himself , so I thought I'd help him out there .

Speaker 2

I like it , I like it .

Speaker 1

Right , I thought I'd help him out there , I like it , I like it Right . I mean , I think that he is just , I mean one . We're not going to take away the fact that you're still an asshole .

Speaker 2

Right To even do it in the first place . We know , because we're going to probably see this house resurface and we're going to know it was you , but we won't , you know but it is good You're coming , because mold and leaking oil tanks are bad for the environment first of all .

Speaker 1

Right , and molds can like . If you're covering that up , it just gets worse .

Speaker 2

Absolutely .

Speaker 1

So I guess my advice would be do the right thing , and I think you know that , because you email this and you just want to hear someone tell you that .

Speaker 2

Right .

Speaker 1

This probably is . You're trying to get it off your conscious and not do it for real . You're trying to get it out of your mind . If I had to be honest , that's what it sounds like . I don't know that Dan will ever do it . I think he's a fool . He probably won't .

Speaker 2

I think this is his form of just you know , absolving himself via messaging or contacting us . And if it just lives in your head and it never comes to fruition , then you're just still Dirty Deal , Dan .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

You know you can be Clean Deal , dan , if you do the right thing .

Speaker 1

Dirty Deal Dan probably Dirty Ass Dan we don't like you , Dan I don't know if you know this , but we've turned on you . We started giving you some real advice , but we think you're a shitty person .

Speaker 2

Your buyers are not going to like you either , no matter what they're going to find out one way or another . And you know , I think , like Joan mentioned , just do the right thing , I think , and I think that's the only course of action in my opinion .

Speaker 1

Right , right , absolutely so , in my opinion . Right , right , absolutely so . I mean , that's really all I got for Dan . Right , like you , do the right thing , I think in general , if you're a flipper yourself , you should be , you know , inspecting your contractor's works , making sure that you're handing over something good . You should always have a contingency , so when things like oil tanks that are leaking that you didn't know about pop up , you can take care of it and newsflash for everybody . People are back to doing inspections and wanting everything .

Speaker 2

Oh yeah .

Speaker 1

So you might as well just get it done and do it right .

Speaker 2

And we talked about this before because a wise woman by the name of Joan Small once told me to get an inspection when you buy . Get an inspection after you flip , because you're going to get a home inspection with the buyers too . So if you have one to two home inspections under your belt by the time you buy , really there's no excuse why you shouldn't have any blind spots when you go on the market .

Speaker 2

So you flippers out there make sure you get a home inspection on these properties . That way you don't have those blind spots and that way the onus is on somebody else right to tell you that hey , here's your bill of health . It's up to you whether or not you get this stuff fixed or not , but if you know about it and you just cover it up , then you're on your own at that point . So , yeah , I think that's that's sage advice .

Speaker 1

If I had to say so myself yeah , and I bet you Dan got to these issues but already blew his budget , so we decided to cover him up , oh , for sure get that home inspection . You've already done that and then you do your cause . Like whoa , I ran out of money .

Speaker 2

Then don't do courts right do granite yeah , you start cutting the stuff that's more cosmetic .

Speaker 1

You cut the cosmetic stuff yeah , because that's what hurts you , that's what hurts other people too . So you know , dan , do what's right . I don't think so , uh , dan . So you better hope I don't see something on a forum . I'll be like dirty deal .

Speaker 2

Dan did it this thing will be right back on MLS .

Speaker 1

No fault of the buyers yes , oh my god , yeah , just just do the right thing . You know like Spike .

Speaker 2

Lee there , do the right thing .

Speaker 1

Do your budgets properly so you don't have to be like Dan . The worst thing you can do is start covering up things that hurt people and maybe you sell it and maybe they never know it , but it will come back on you tenfold . You know Absolutely . So that's what I got . You got anything else for Dan ?

Speaker 2

That's it , Dan . Just do the right thing , man . Now is your time to shine , you know . Show everybody that you can be . You know better than the status quo . So do the right thing , and the sooner you do that , I think , the better you'll feel .

Speaker 1

I definitely agree . So ,
