This Halloween, we’re digging up one of multifamily’s scariest stories — The Curse of Deferred Maintenance. 

You know the type: a property that looked great on paper, the numbers checked out, and due diligence was a breeze… until that first summer exposed a graveyard of hidden issues. Plumbing issues and failing HVACs — suddenly your “light value-add” becomes a financial nightmare.

In this episode, we uncover how deferred maintenance quietly haunts properties, drains cash flow, and spooks investors. Learn how to spot the warning signs before you buy, what questions to ask during due diligence, and how to budget for what you can’t see.

Because sometimes… the scariest part of a deal is what’s lurking behind the drywall. 

Tune in for lessons that’ll help you avoid turning your next acquisition into a haunted asset.
