Episode notes
CFO And Homeless Seller Both Took Pennies
- Logan bought from both a CFO and a homeless man and handled each differently but paid both pennies on the dollar.
- Context and negotiation style produced the same deep discount across very different owner profiles.
Negotiate Near-Expired Judgments Cheap
- Use age of judgments to force discounts: near-expiry creditor claims often accept pennies on the dollar.
- Negotiate older judgments aggressively since re-filing or collection probability is low.
Use Escrow To Close Then Negotiate Liens
- If a lien appears right before closing, escrow funds with the title company and then negotiate the creditor down.
- Use escrowed proceeds to protect the title policy while you settle outstanding claims post-close.
