In this REI Only episode of The FasterFreedom Show , Sam breaks down how to determine whether a real estate deal is actually good before committing to it. He explains the baseline formula investors should use when analyzing opportunities—the Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO)—and why understanding this simple framework can protect your profits and prevent costly mistakes. Sam also highlights commonly overlooked factors like holding costs, small expenses that add up quickly, and how forgetting them can turn a promising deal into a losing one. Whether you’re analyzing your first deal or sharpening your underwriting process, this episode also emphasizes the importance of having a clear exit strategy and approaching every opportunity with disciplined numbers. The goal isn’t just finding deals—it’s finding deals that truly work.
