LESSON 5 — WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO BEFORE MAKING AN OFFER

These are the behaviors that kill deals:

Demanding tax returns

Demanding utility maps

Wanting full P&Ls for 3–5 years

Asking about every expense line item

Requesting a walkthrough

Asking the seller 50 questions

Trying to negotiate without submitting anything

Asking “why are they selling?” repeatedly

Fishing for personal financial information

Asking the seller to justify their price

These items are due diligence, not pre-offer requirements.
