What We Did Not Buy

It is not always about buying and closing a deal.

It is about buying the right property for the right purpose.

For every successful purchase, we typically

screen between 100-300 properties, inspect 20–50, and reject around 90% of them.

Some are worth taking to the next stage of due diligence.

Many are not worth the time, risk or expense.

Here are some of the rejected properties.
