  one

  of

  the

• 1:02
  we

  before
• 1:04
  that
• 1:04
  about
• 1:05
  moving
• 1:05
  company
• 1:06
  scams.
• 1:06
  Some
• 1:07
  of
• 1:07
  the
• 1:07
  big
• 1:07
  ones
• 1:08
  are
• 1:08
  interesting
• 1:08
  when
• 1:08
  you're
• 1:09
  moving,
• 1:10
  you
• 1:10
  got
• 1:10
  to
• 1:10
  be
• 1:10
  careful
• 1:11
  here
• 1:11
  because
• 1:11
  some
• 1:12
  of
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  most
• 1:12
  common
• 1:13
  scams
• 1:13
  are
• 1:14
  just
• 1:14
  this
• 1:15
  over
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  phone
• 1:15
  estimates.
• 1:16
  Be
• 1:16
  careful
• 1:17
  of
• 1:17
  that.
• 1:18
  Instead
• 1:18
  of
• 1:18
  coming
• 1:18
  on
• 1:19
  for
• 1:19
  an
• 1:19
  on
• 1:19
  site
• 1:19
  inspection,
• 1:20
  they
• 1:20
  don't
• 1:20
  want
• 1:21
  it.
• 1:21
  They
• 1:21
  just
• 1:21
  ask
• 1:22
  you
• 1:22
  how
• 1:22
  many
• 1:22
  rooms
• 1:22
  and
• 1:22
  they
• 1:23
  give
• 1:23
  you
• 1:23
  a
• 1:23
  quote.
• 1:24
  That's
• 1:24
  a
• 1:24
  red
• 1:25
  flag
• 1:25
  there.
• 1:26
  So
• 1:26
  you
• 1:26
  make
• 1:26
  sure
• 1:26
  you
• 1:27
  want
• 1:27
  to
• 1:27
  get
• 1:27
  a
• 1:28
  free
• 1:28
  moving
• 1:29
  quote
• 1:29
  so
• 1:29
  they
• 1:30
  can
• 1:30
  see
• 1:30
  what's
• 1:30
  going
• 1:30
  on
• 1:31
  and
• 1:31
  have
• 1:31
  it.
• 1:32
  So
• 1:32
  grab
• 1:32
  your
• 1:32
  toolbox,
• 1:33
  put
• 1:33

  your

  questions
• 2:34
  for
• 2:35
  your
• 2:35
  next
• 2:35
  project.
• 2:36
  Today
• 2:37
  I
• 2:37
  wanted
• 2:37
  to
• 2:37
  talk
• 2:38
  about
• 2:38
  Buyer
• 2:39
  beware,
• 2:40
  my
• 2:41
  top
• 2:41
  10
• 2:41
  list
• 2:41
  of
• 2:42
  scammy
• 2:42
  things
• 2:42
  that
• 2:43
  people
• 2:43
  are
• 2:43
  trying
• 2:43
  to
• 2:43
  take
• 2:44
  advantage
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  homeowners
• 2:45
  out
• 2:45
  there
• 2:46
  that
• 2:46
  you
• 2:46
  need
• 2:46
  to
• 2:46
  be
• 2:47
  careful
• 2:47
  of.
• 2:48
  Now
• 2:48
  there's
• 2:48
  a
• 2:48
  lot
• 2:48
  more
• 2:49
  than
• 2:49
  10,
• 2:49
  but
• 2:49
  these
• 2:49
  are
• 2:49
  the
• 2:50
  top
• 2:50
  10
• 2:50
  ones
• 2:50
  that
• 2:50
  I
• 2:51
  see
• 2:51
  out
• 2:51
  there
• 2:51
  that
• 2:52
  you
• 2:52
  need
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  be
• 2:52
  careful
• 2:53
  with.
• 2:53
  That
• 2:54
  boy,
• 2:54
  they
• 2:54
  can
• 2:55
  get
• 2:55
  you
• 2:55
  good
• 2:55
  on
• 2:56
  it.
• 2:56
  Now
• 2:57
  these
• 2:57
  aren't
• 2:57
  in
• 2:57
  A
• 2:57
  particular
• 2:58
  order,
• 2:58
  but
• 2:59
  they're
• 2:59
  all
• 2:59
  10
• 2:59
  or
• 2:59
  something
• 3:00
  that
• 3:00
  somebody
• 3:00
  could
• 3:01
  take
• 3:01
  advantage
• 3:01
  of
• 3:01
  you
• 3:02
  on
• 3:02
  whether
• 3:03
  you're
• 3:03
  young,
• 3:03
  whether
• 3:04
  you're
• 3:04
  old.
• 3:04
  But
• 3:05
  if
• 3:05
  you're
• 3:05
  a
• 3:05
  homeowner,
• 3:06
  they
• 3:06
  tend
• 3:07
  to
• 3:07
  target
• 3:07
  you
• 3:08
  for
• 3:08
  these
• 3:08
  things.
• 3:09
  So
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  first
• 3:10
  one
• 3:10
  here
• 3:11
  is
• 3:11
  an
• 3:11
  easy
• 3:12
  one.
• 3:12
  Fake
• 3:12
  contractors.
• 3:14
  I
• 3:14
  call
• 3:14
  them
• 3:15
  fake
• 3:15
  contractors
• 3:15
  because
• 3:16
  if
• 3:16
  you're
• 3:16
  in
• 3:16
  an
• 3:16
  area
• 3:17
  which
• 3:17
  most
• 3:17
  of
• 3:17
  the
• 3:18
  United
• 3:18
  States
• 3:18
  is,
• 3:19
  where
• 3:19
  they
• 3:20
  have
• 3:20
  to
• 3:20
  be
• 3:20
  a
• 3:20
  licensed,
• 3:21
  bonded
• 3:22
  and
• 3:22
  insured
• 3:22
  contractor,
• 3:23
  in
• 3:23
  my
• 3:23
  area,
• 3:24
  even
• 3:24
  the
• 3:24
  handyman
• 3:24
  have
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  be
• 3:26
  licensed,
• 3:26
  bonded
• 3:27
  and
• 3:27
  insured.
• 3:28
  So
• 3:28
  if
• 3:29
  they're
• 3:29
  working
• 3:29
  on
• 3:29
  your
• 3:29
  house,
• 3:30
  they
• 3:30
  need
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  be
• 3:31
  licensed
• 3:31
  bonded
• 3:32
  insured.
• 3:32
  Now,
• 3:32
  there
• 3:32
  are
• 3:33
  certain
• 3:33
  kind
• 3:33
  of
• 3:34
  what
• 3:34
  I'd
• 3:34
  call
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  Wild
• 3:35
  west
• 3:35
  that
• 3:35
  aren't
• 3:35
  even
• 3:35
  in
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  wild
• 3:36
  west
• 3:37
  areas
• 3:38
  that
• 3:38
  they
• 3:39
  don't
• 3:39
  have
• 3:39
  to
• 3:39
  have
• 3:39
  contractor's
• 3:40
  licenses.
• 3:40
  And
• 3:41
  that's
• 3:41
  an
• 3:41
  area,
• 3:41
  that
• 3:42
  part
• 3:42
  of
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  country
• 3:42
  that,
• 3:43
  well,
• 3:43
  they
• 3:44
  don't
• 3:44
  care
• 3:44
  about
• 3:45
  protecting
• 3:45
  consumers.
• 3:46
  And
• 3:46
  that's
• 3:47
  just
• 3:47
  what
• 3:47
  it
• 3:47
  is.
• 3:48
  Hopefully
• 3:48
  those
• 3:49
  will
• 3:49
  change
• 3:49
  where
• 3:49
  they
• 3:49
  can
• 3:50
  make
• 3:50
  sure
• 3:50
  that
• 3:50
  everybody's
• 3:51
  got
• 3:51
  some
• 3:52
  kind
• 3:52
  of
• 3:52
  background
• 3:52
  check
• 3:53
  that
• 3:53
  they're
• 3:53
  insured,
• 3:54
  that
• 3:54
  you,
• 3:54
  the
• 3:54
  homeowner,
• 3:55
  aren't
• 3:55
  liable
• 3:56
  for
• 3:56
  their
• 3:56
  mistakes.
• 3:57
  And
• 3:57
  what
• 3:57
  I
• 3:57
  mean
• 3:57
  by
• 3:58
  that
• 3:58
  is
• 3:58
  when
• 3:58
  you
• 3:58
  hire
• 3:58
  a
• 3:58
  license
• 3:59
  bonded
• 3:59
  insured
• 3:59
  contractor,
• 4:01
  if
• 4:01
  someone
• 4:01
  gets
• 4:01
  hurt
• 4:01
  on
• 4:01
  the
• 4:02
  job,
• 4:02
  they're
• 4:02
  responsible
• 4:03
  for
• 4:03
  it,
• 4:04
  versus
• 4:04
  if
• 4:04
  you
• 4:05
  hire
• 4:05
  somebody
• 4:05
  off
• 4:05
  of
• 4:05
  next
• 4:06
  door,
• 4:06
  you
• 4:06
  could
• 4:06
  be
• 4:06
  in
• 4:07
  a
• 4:07
  world
• 4:07
  of
• 4:07
  hurt
• 4:08
  because
• 4:09
  you're
• 4:09
  gonna
• 4:09
  be
• 4:10
  the
• 4:11
  employer.
• 4:12
  So
• 4:13
  if
• 4:13
  they
• 4:13
  get
• 4:13
  hurt,
• 4:13
  they
• 4:13
  get
• 4:14
  paralyzed,
• 4:14
  fallen
• 4:15
  off
• 4:15
  the
• 4:15
  roof.
• 4:15
  Guess
• 4:15
  what?
• 4:16
  You
• 4:17
  are
• 4:17
  now
• 4:17
  liable
• 4:18
  for
• 4:18
  their
• 4:18
  medical
• 4:18
  bills
• 4:19
  and
• 4:19
  maybe
• 4:19
  their
• 4:20
  loss
• 4:20
  of
• 4:20
  work.
• 4:20
  So
• 4:21
  that
• 4:21
  could
• 4:21
  cost
• 4:21
  you
• 4:21
  millions
• 4:22
  of
• 4:22
  dollars.
• 4:22
  So
• 4:22
  you
• 4:22
  wanna
• 4:23
  make
• 4:23
  sure
• 4:23
  whoever
• 4:24
  is
• 4:24
  working
• 4:25
  over
• 4:25
  there
• 4:25
  on
• 4:26
  your
• 4:26
  place
• 4:26
  is
• 4:26
  licensed,
• 4:27
  bonded
• 4:27
  insured.
• 4:28
  Now,
• 4:29
  there
• 4:29
  are
• 4:29
  some
• 4:29
  common
• 4:29
  scams
• 4:30
  out
• 4:30
  there
• 4:30
  that
• 4:30
  I
• 4:31
  see.
• 4:31
  I
• 4:32
  will
• 4:32
  see
• 4:33
  contractors
• 4:34
  that
• 4:34
  are
• 4:34
  not
• 4:34
  legitimate
• 4:35
  contractors,
• 4:35
  but
• 4:36
  they
• 4:36
  do
• 4:36
  have
• 4:36
  that
• 4:36
  license
• 4:37
  bond
• 4:37
  insurance.
• 4:38
  And
• 4:38
  they
• 4:38
  will
• 4:39
  let
• 4:39
  their
• 4:39
  buddies
• 4:39
  and
• 4:40
  friends
• 4:40
  that
• 4:40
  aren't
• 4:40
  licensed
• 4:41
  work
• 4:41
  under
• 4:42
  their
• 4:42
  license
• 4:42
  out
• 4:43
  there.
• 4:43
  And
• 4:44
  that
• 4:44
  almost
• 4:44
  always
• 4:45
  catches
• 4:45
  up
• 4:45
  to
• 4:45
  them.
• 4:46
  Now,
• 4:47
  you
• 4:47
  have
• 4:47
  former
• 4:47
  employers
• 4:48
  that
• 4:48
  might
• 4:48
  still
• 4:49
  have
• 4:49
  the
• 4:49
  business
• 4:49
  card
• 4:50
  and
• 4:50
  they
• 4:50
  might
• 4:50
  have
• 4:50
  jumped
• 4:51
  online
• 4:51
  and
• 4:51
  ordered
• 4:52
  a
• 4:52
  magnet
• 4:52
  for
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  side
• 4:53
  of
• 4:53
  their
• 4:53
  truck.
• 4:54
  But
• 4:54
  now
• 4:54
  they're
• 4:55
  operating
• 4:55
  under
• 4:56
  their
• 4:57
  former
• 4:57
  employer
• 4:58
  and
• 4:58
  they
• 4:58
  opened
• 4:59
  up
• 4:59
  a
• 4:59
  bank
• 4:59
  account
• 4:59
  that
• 5:00
  is
• 5:00
  similar
• 5:00
  name.
• 5:01
  And
• 5:02
  I'll
• 5:02
  say,
• 5:02
  let's
• 5:02
  make
• 5:03
  up
• 5:03
  a
• 5:03
  name,
• 5:03
  ABC
• 5:04
  Construction.
• 5:05
  Maybe
• 5:06
  they'll
• 5:06
  open
• 5:06
  up
• 5:06
  a
• 5:07
  bank
• 5:07
  account
• 5:07
  that's
• 5:08
  ABC
• 5:08
  Contracting.
• 5:09
  And
• 5:10
  if
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  write
• 5:10
  them
• 5:10
  a
• 5:11
  check,
• 5:11
  it's
• 5:12
  good
• 5:12
  enough.
• 5:13
  Then
• 5:13
  they
• 5:13
  can
• 5:14
  either
• 5:14
  not
• 5:14
  do
• 5:14
  the
• 5:14
  job
• 5:15
  or
• 5:15
  they'll
• 5:15
  do
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  job,
• 5:16
  or
• 5:16
  they'll
• 5:16
  run
• 5:16
  away
• 5:17
  with
• 5:17
  your
• 5:17
  money.
• 5:18
  So
• 5:18
  these
• 5:18
  are
• 5:19
  big
• 5:19
  ones
• 5:19
  out
• 5:19
  there.
• 5:19
  So
• 5:20
  first
• 5:20
  Off.
• 5:21
  The
• 5:21
  best
• 5:21
  thing
• 5:21
  to
• 5:21
  do
• 5:22
  is
• 5:22
  when
• 5:22
  you're
• 5:22
  gonna
• 5:22
  be
• 5:22
  hiring
• 5:23
  a
• 5:23
  contractor.
• 5:23
  Just
• 5:24
  do
• 5:24
  some
• 5:24
  research.
• 5:25
  Doesn't
• 5:25
  matter
• 5:25
  if
• 5:25
  you
• 5:25
  get
• 5:25
  them
• 5:26
  from
• 5:26
  a
• 5:26
  referral
• 5:26
  site
• 5:27
  like
• 5:28
  Angie's
• 5:28
  List
• 5:28
  or
• 5:29
  one
• 5:29
  of
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  other
• 5:29
  places,
• 5:30
  especially
• 5:30
  if
• 5:30
  you're
• 5:31
  getting
• 5:31
  them
• 5:31
  off
• 5:31
  next
• 5:31
  door
• 5:32
  or
• 5:33
  Craigslist
• 5:34
  or
• 5:34
  Facebook
• 5:34
  Marketplace.
• 5:35
  These
• 5:35
  are
• 5:35
  all
• 5:36
  places
• 5:36
  where
• 5:36
  those
• 5:37
  sketchy
• 5:37
  contractors
• 5:38
  like
• 5:38
  to
• 5:38
  lurk.
• 5:39
  So
• 5:40
  find
• 5:40
  out
• 5:40
  who
• 5:40
  your
• 5:41
  local
• 5:42
  or
• 5:42
  state
• 5:42
  agency
• 5:43
  is
• 5:43
  that
• 5:43
  licenses.
• 5:44
  In
• 5:45
  my
• 5:45
  state,
• 5:45
  in
• 5:45
  Oregon,
• 5:46
  here
• 5:46
  where
• 5:46
  I'm
• 5:47
  located,
• 5:47
  that
• 5:47
  would
• 5:47
  be
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  Oregon
• 5:48
  ccb.
• 5:48
  And
• 5:49
  you
• 5:49
  could
• 5:49
  call
• 5:49
  them
• 5:49
  up
• 5:49
  and
• 5:49
  give
• 5:50
  them
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  name
• 5:50
  and
• 5:51
  they
• 5:51
  will
• 5:51
  help
• 5:52
  you
• 5:52
  do
• 5:52
  that.
• 5:53
  Washington
• 5:54
  Department
• 5:54
  of
• 5:54
  Labor,
• 5:55
  industries,
• 5:56
  every
• 5:56
  area
• 5:56
  has
• 5:57
  that.
• 5:57
  So
• 5:57
  it's
• 5:57
  something
• 5:58
  you
• 5:58
  should
• 5:58
  pay
• 5:58
  attention
• 5:58
  to.
• 5:59
  So
• 5:59
  that
• 6:00
  way
• 6:00
  you
• 6:00
  know
• 6:01
  that
• 6:01
  you're
• 6:01
  getting
• 6:02
  the
• 6:02
  right
• 6:03
  person
• 6:04
  for
• 6:04
  the
• 6:04
  job
• 6:05
  and
• 6:05
  it's
• 6:06
  not
• 6:06
  going
• 6:06
  to
• 6:06
  nail
• 6:06
  you.
• 6:07
  That's
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  big
• 6:08
  one.
• 6:08
  So
• 6:09
  make
• 6:09
  sure
• 6:09
  you're
• 6:09
  hiring
• 6:10
  that
• 6:10
  one.
• 6:11
  Now,
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  next
• 6:12
  one
• 6:12
  is
• 6:13
  a
• 6:14
  Facebook
• 6:14
  group,
• 6:16
  heavy
• 6:16
  hitter.
• 6:17
  This
• 6:17
  is
• 6:18
  if
• 6:18
  you're
• 6:18
  into
• 6:18
  any
• 6:19
  of
• 6:19
  your
• 6:19
  local
• 6:20
  buy
• 6:20
  sell
• 6:20
  trade
• 6:20
  groups,
• 6:21
  you'll
• 6:21
  see
• 6:21
  these
• 6:21
  people
• 6:22
  coming
• 6:22
  up
• 6:23
  with
• 6:23
  the
• 6:23
  same
• 6:23
  pictures,
• 6:24
  the
• 6:25
  same
• 6:25
  story.
• 6:25
  Hey,
• 6:26
  I
• 6:26
  just
• 6:26
  moved
• 6:26
  into
• 6:27
  town,
• 6:27
  right?
• 6:28
  This
• 6:29
  is
• 6:29
  the
• 6:29
  duct
• 6:29
  cleaning
• 6:30
  companies
• 6:30
  out
• 6:31
  there.
• 6:32
  Now,
• 6:32
  there
• 6:32
  are
• 6:32
  legitimate
• 6:33
  duct
• 6:34
  cleaning
• 6:34
  companies
• 6:35
  and
• 6:35
  the
• 6:36
  ones
• 6:36
  that
• 6:36
  I
• 6:36
  trust
• 6:36
  are
• 6:37
  nadca.
• 6:38
  NADCA
• 6:39
  certified,
• 6:39
  that
• 6:40
  is
• 6:40
  the
• 6:40
  industry
• 6:41
  leader.
• 6:43
  They're
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  ones
• 6:44
  that
• 6:44
  train,
• 6:45
  test
• 6:46
  and
• 6:47
  certify
• 6:47
  companies
• 6:48
  to
• 6:48
  actually
• 6:48
  be
• 6:49
  good
• 6:49
  at
• 6:49
  duct
• 6:49
  cleaning.
• 6:50
  Now
• 6:51
  here's
• 6:52
  the
• 6:52
  thing.
• 6:53
  If
• 6:53
  you
• 6:53
  hire
• 6:54
  one
• 6:54
  of
• 6:54
  these
• 6:54
  other
• 6:54
  companies,
• 6:55
  they
• 6:56
  could
• 6:56
  be
• 6:56
  bringing
• 6:56
  in
• 6:57
  their
• 6:57
  own
• 6:57
  trash
• 6:57
  and
• 6:57
  dropping
• 6:58
  it
• 6:58
  in
• 6:58
  there
• 6:59
  to
• 6:59
  show
• 6:59
  you
• 6:59
  what
• 7:00
  they
• 7:00
  did.
• 7:00
  They
• 7:01
  could
• 7:01
  come
• 7:01
  in
• 7:01
  with
• 7:01
  a
• 7:02
  little
• 7:02
  tiny
• 7:02
  mobile
• 7:03
  system
• 7:03
  versus
• 7:03
  the
• 7:03
  big
• 7:04
  truck
• 7:04
  one.
• 7:05
  It's
• 7:05
  really
• 7:05
  depending
• 7:06
  on
• 7:06
  what
• 7:06
  you've
• 7:06
  got.
• 7:07
  Now,
• 7:07
  some
• 7:07
  of
• 7:07
  those
• 7:07
  mobile
• 7:08
  ones
• 7:08
  can
• 7:08
  be
• 7:08
  really
• 7:08
  good.
• 7:09
  It's
• 7:09
  just
• 7:09
  depending
• 7:09
  on
• 7:10
  what
• 7:10
  brand
• 7:10
  and
• 7:11
  what
• 7:11
  they're
• 7:11
  doing.
• 7:12
  Some
• 7:12
  people
• 7:13
  come
• 7:13
  in
• 7:13
  with
• 7:13
  literally
• 7:14
  modified
• 7:14
  shop
• 7:15
  vacs
• 7:16
  and
• 7:16
  it's
• 7:16
  not
• 7:16
  near
• 7:17
  enough
• 7:17
  to
• 7:17
  do
• 7:17
  that.
• 7:18
  So
• 7:19
  what
• 7:19
  I
• 7:19
  like
• 7:19
  is
• 7:19
  a
• 7:19
  NATCA
• 7:20
  certified
• 7:20
  company
• 7:21
  that
• 7:21
  has
• 7:21
  a
• 7:21
  relationship
• 7:23
  with
• 7:24
  either
• 7:24
  an
• 7:24
  H
• 7:24
  Vac
• 7:25
  company
• 7:26
  or
• 7:26
  they
• 7:26
  are
• 7:26
  an
• 7:27
  H
• 7:27
  Vac
• 7:27
  company.
• 7:28
  So
• 7:28
  that
• 7:28
  way
• 7:29
  if
• 7:29
  they
• 7:30
  see
• 7:30
  something,
• 7:31
  if
• 7:31
  something
• 7:32
  is
• 7:32
  broken,
• 7:33
  they
• 7:33
  have
• 7:33
  somebody
• 7:34
  that
• 7:34
  can
• 7:34
  come
• 7:34
  take
• 7:34
  a
• 7:35
  look
• 7:35
  at
• 7:35
  it.
• 7:36
  So
• 7:37
  I
• 7:37
  agree
• 7:37
  with
• 7:38
  duct
• 7:38
  cleaning
• 7:39
  every
• 7:40
  five
• 7:40
  years
• 7:40
  or
• 7:41
  if
• 7:41
  you've
• 7:41
  had
• 7:42
  major
• 7:42
  construction
• 7:43
  or
• 7:43
  you
• 7:43
  go
• 7:43
  down
• 7:44
  and
• 7:44
  look
• 7:44
  in
• 7:44
  there
• 7:45
  and
• 7:45
  it's
• 7:45
  super
• 7:46
  dirty,
• 7:46
  you
• 7:46
  might
• 7:46
  want
• 7:46
  to
• 7:47
  get
• 7:47
  that
• 7:47
  taken
• 7:47
  care
• 7:47
  of.
• 7:48
  But
• 7:49
  you
• 7:49
  want
• 7:49
  to
• 7:49
  make
• 7:49
  sure
• 7:49
  you
• 7:49
  hire
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  right
• 7:50
  people.
• 7:50
  There
• 7:50
  are
• 7:51
  so
• 7:51
  many
• 7:51
  scammy

• 12:59
  now
• 12:59
  we've
• 12:59
  been
• 13:00
  talking
• 13:00
  about
• 13:00
  the
• 13:00
  scammy
• 13:01
  things
• 13:01
  that
• 13:01
  homeowners
• 13:02
  need
• 13:02
  to
• 13:02
  be
• 13:02
  careful
• 13:03
  of.
• 13:04
  And
• 13:04
  here's
• 13:04
  one
• 13:04
  of
• 13:04
  the
• 13:04
  tricks.
• 13:05
  We
• 13:05
  were
• 13:05
  just
• 13:05
  talking
• 13:05
  in
• 13:06
  the
• 13:06
  last
• 13:06
  break
• 13:06
  before
• 13:07
  that
• 13:07
  about
• 13:08
  moving
• 13:08
  company
• 13:09
  scams.
• 13:10
  Some
• 13:10
  of
• 13:10
  the
• 13:10
  big
• 13:10
  ones
• 13:11
  are
• 13:11
  interesting.
• 13:11
  When
• 13:11
  you're
• 13:12
  moving,
• 13:13
  you
• 13:13
  got
• 13:13
  to
• 13:13
  be
• 13:13
  careful
• 13:14
  here
• 13:14
  because
• 13:15
  some
• 13:15
  of
• 13:15
  the
• 13:15
  most
• 13:15
  common
• 13:16
  scams
• 13:16
  are
• 13:17
  just
• 13:17
  this
• 13:18
  over
• 13:18
  the
• 13:18
  phone
• 13:19
  estimates.
• 13:19
  Be
• 13:19
  careful
• 13:20
  of
• 13:20
  that.
• 13:21
  Instead
• 13:21
  of
• 13:21
  coming
• 13:22
  on
• 13:22
  for
• 13:22
  an
• 13:22
  on
• 13:22
  site
• 13:23
  inspection,
• 13:23
  they
• 13:23
  don't
• 13:24
  want
• 13:24
  it.
• 13:24
  They
• 13:24
  just
• 13:24
  ask
• 13:25
  you
• 13:25
  how
• 13:25
  many
• 13:25
  rooms
• 13:25
  and
• 13:26
  they
• 13:26
  give
• 13:26
  you
• 13:26
  a
• 13:26
  quote.
• 13:27
  That's
• 13:27
  a
• 13:27
  red
• 13:28
  flag
• 13:28
  there.
• 13:29
  So
• 13:29
  you
• 13:29
  make
• 13:29
  sure
• 13:30
  you
• 13:30
  want
• 13:30
  to
• 13:30
  get
• 13:31
  a
• 13:31
  free
• 13:31
  moving
• 13:32
  quote
• 13:32
  so
• 13:33
  they
• 13:33
  can
• 13:33
  see
• 13:33

  offer

  It's

  of

  the

  and
• 13:51
  costs.
• 13:52
  There's
• 13:53
  the

  the

  get

  the
• 13:56
  switch
• 13:56
  at
• 13:56
  the
• 13:57
  end.
• 13:57
  So
• 13:57
  be
• 13:57
  really
• 13:58
  careful.
• 13:59
  So
• 14:00
  it's
• 14:00
  already
• 14:00
  been
• 14:00
  done
• 14:01
  and
• 14:01
  it's
• 14:01
  a
• 14:01
  bad
• 14:01
  place
• 14:02
  to
• 14:02
  be.
• 14:03
  So
• 14:04
  inquire
• 14:04
  about
• 14:05
  any
• 14:05
  itemized
• 14:06
  fees

• 14:07
  When

• 14:08
  there,
• 14:08
  make
• 14:08
  sure
• 14:09
  you're
• 14:09
  good.
• 14:10
  I
• 14:10
  don't
• 14:10
  like
• 14:10
  BBB
• 14:11
  ratings
• 14:11
  because
• 14:12
  the
• 14:12
  better
• 14:13
  business
• 14:13
  bure
• 14:14
  you
• 14:14
  can
• 14:14
  buy
• 14:15
  a

  good
• 14:15
  rating
• 14:16
  by
• 14:16
  being
• 14:16
  accredited.
• 14:17
  So
• 14:17
  they
• 14:17
  take
• 14:18
  your
• 14:18
  check
• 14:18
  and
• 14:18
  then
• 14:19
  they
• 14:19
  make
• 14:19
  you
• 14:19
  look
• 14:19
  better
• 14:20
  than
• 14:20
  what
• 14:20
  you
• 14:20
  are.
• 14:21
  I
• 14:21
  do
• 14:21
  not
• 14:22
  endorse
• 14:22
  the
• 14:22
  bbb.
• 14:23
  It's
• 14:23
  big.
• 14:24
  Now
• 14:25
  sometimes
• 14:25
  you
• 14:26
  gotta
• 14:26
  be
• 14:26
  careful
• 14:26
  too.
• 14:27
  Required
• 14:27
  deposits
• 14:28
  can
• 14:28
  be
• 14:28
  interesting
• 14:29
  so
• 14:30
  they
• 14:31
  might
• 14:31
  not
• 14:31
  ask
• 14:32
  for
• 14:32
  one.
• 14:32
  But
• 14:32
  some
• 14:33
  of
• 14:33
  the
• 14:33
  scammy
• 14:33
  ones
• 14:34
  do.
• 14:34
  So
• 14:35
  be
• 14:35
  careful
• 14:36
  with.
• 14:37
  Don't
• 14:37
  want
• 14:37
  to,
• 14:37
  don't
• 14:38
  want
• 14:38
  to
• 14:38
  give
• 14:38
  them
• 14:38
  paying
• 14:38
  payment
• 14:39
  upfront.
• 14:40
  And
• 14:40
  then
• 14:41
  the
• 14:41
  other
• 14:41
  thing
• 14:41
  to
• 14:41
  watch
• 14:41
  out
• 14:41
  for
• 14:42
  too
• 14:42
  is
• 14:42
  very
• 14:43
  vague
• 14:43
  and
• 14:43
  thin
• 14:44
  contracts.
• 14:45
  Be
• 14:45
  careful
• 14:46
  of
• 14:46
  that.
• 14:46
  That's
• 14:46
  a
• 14:47
  huge
• 14:47
  one.
• 14:48
  So
• 14:49
  they
• 14:49
  don't
• 14:49
  want
• 14:49
  to
• 14:49
  let
• 14:50
  you
• 14:50
  know
• 14:50
  your
• 14:50
  rights
• 14:50
  and
• 14:51
  responsibilities.
• 14:51
  So
• 14:52
  make
• 14:52
  sure
• 14:52
  you
• 14:52
  understand
• 14:53
  what
• 14:53
  your
• 14:53
  state
• 14:53
  requires.
• 14:54
  And
• 14:55
  then
• 14:55
  any
• 14:56
  of
• 14:56
  these
• 14:56
  things
• 14:56
  here
• 14:57
  that
• 14:57
  you
• 14:57
  can
• 14:57
  be
• 14:57
  really
• 14:58
  careful
• 14:58
  with.
• 14:58
  I
• 14:58
  would
• 14:59
  work
• 14:59
  with
• 14:59
  friends,
• 15:00
  people
• 15:00
  like
• 15:00
  that
• 15:01
  we
• 15:01
  talked
• 15:01
  about
• 15:01
  in
• 15:01
  the
• 15:01
  last
• 15:02
  segment
• 15:02
  here
• 15:03
  and
• 15:03
  then
• 15:03
  get
• 15:03
  two
• 15:03
  or
• 15:03
  three
• 15:04
  estimates,
• 15:04
  find
• 15:04
  out
• 15:05
  what
• 15:05
  they're
• 15:05
  going
• 15:05
  to
• 15:06
  do
• 15:06
  for
• 15:06
  you.
• 15:07
  And
• 15:07
  then
• 15:07
  also
• 15:08
  take
• 15:08
  a
• 15:08
  look
• 15:08
  and
• 15:08
  see
• 15:08
  if
• 15:09
  there's
• 15:09
  a

• 15:10
  history
• 15:10
  there
• 15:10
  that
• 15:11
  you
• 15:11
  see.
• 15:11
  So
• 15:12
  just
• 15:12
  be
• 15:12
  really
• 15:12
  careful.
• 15:13
  There's

• 15:19
  So

  take

  look
• 15:20
  and
• 15:20
  see

  He's
• 18:12
  a

• 18:15
  a
• 18:16
  laugh
• 18:16
  of
• 18:16
  him
• 18:17
  turning
• 18:17
  the
• 18:17
  tables
• 18:18
  on
• 18:18
  those
• 18:18
  scammers
• 18:19
  out
• 18:19
  there
• 18:19
  to
• 18:20
  get
• 18:20
  after
• 18:20
  him.
• 18:21
  Now
• 18:22
  the
• 18:22
  next
• 18:22
  one
• 18:22
  here
• 18:23
  is
• 18:23
  one
• 18:24
  that
• 18:24
  I
• 18:24
  think
• 18:24
  is
• 18:25
  a
• 18:25
  little
• 18:25
  scammy
• 18:26
  myself.
• 18:26
  Now,
• 18:27
  I
• 18:27
  guess
• 18:28
  what
• 18:28
  makes
• 18:28
  a
• 18:28
  good
• 18:28
  scammy
• 18:29
  type
• 18:30
  thing
• 18:30
  is
• 18:31
  one
• 18:31
  that
• 18:32
  seems
• 18:32
  somewhat
• 18:33
  reasonable
• 18:34
  and
• 18:35
  I'm
• 18:35
  not
• 18:35
  a
• 18:35
  fan
• 18:36
  of
• 18:36
  this
• 18:36
  is
• 18:36
  my
• 18:36
  personal
• 18:37
  opinion.
• 18:38
  There
• 18:38
  are
• 18:38
  people
• 18:38
  out
• 18:39
  there
• 18:39
  selling
• 18:40
  home
• 18:40
  title
• 18:40
  lock
• 18:41
  insurance
• 18:42
  in
• 18:43
  most
• 18:43
  states
• 18:43
  now
• 18:44
  this
• 18:44
  is
• 18:44
  something
• 18:46
  that
• 18:46
  could
• 18:46
  happen,
• 18:47
  but
• 18:47
  it's
• 18:47
  pretty
• 18:48
  hard
• 18:48
  to
• 18:48
  do.
• 18:49
  And
• 18:49
  I
• 18:49
  think
• 18:50
  it's
• 18:50
  so
• 18:50
  rare
• 18:51
  that
• 18:52
  it's
• 18:52
  crazy.
• 18:52
  Now
• 18:53
  ironically,
• 18:54
  these
• 18:54
  guys
• 18:54
  could
• 18:55
  be
• 18:55
  starting
• 18:56
  to
• 18:56
  get
• 18:56
  criminals
• 18:57
  to
• 18:57
  look
• 18:57
  at
• 18:57
  trying
• 18:58
  to
• 18:58
  do
• 18:58
  this.
• 18:59
  But
• 18:59
  really
• 19:00
  what
• 19:01
  this
• 19:01
  is,
• 19:01
  this
• 19:01
  is
• 19:02
  a
• 19:02
  scammer
• 19:02
  that
• 19:02
  can
• 19:02
  go
• 19:03
  into
• 19:03
  the
• 19:03
  title
• 19:04
  company
• 19:04
  or
• 19:05
  go
• 19:05
  into
• 19:05
  your
• 19:05
  courthouse
• 19:07
  and
• 19:07
  basically
• 19:08
  steal
• 19:09
  your
• 19:09
  home
• 19:09
  out
• 19:09
  from
• 19:10
  underneath
• 19:10
  you
• 19:11
  without
• 19:11
  your
• 19:12
  knowledge
• 19:12
  or
• 19:12
  get
• 19:13
  a
• 19:13
  loan
• 19:13
  on
• 19:13
  it
• 19:14
  or
• 19:14
  do
• 19:14
  something
• 19:14
  like
• 19:15
  that.
• 19:15
  It
• 19:16
  is
• 19:16
  very
• 19:17
  hard
• 19:17
  for
• 19:17
  this
• 19:17
  to
• 19:17
  happen.
• 19:19
  Now
• 19:19
  the
• 19:19
  original
• 19:20
  ads
• 19:20
  that
• 19:20
  came
• 19:21
  out
• 19:21
  a
• 19:21
  few
• 19:21
  years
• 19:21
  ago
• 19:23
  said
• 19:23
  the
• 19:23
  FBI
• 19:24
  said
• 19:24
  it
• 19:24
  was
• 19:24
  the
• 19:24
  newest,
• 19:25
  latest,
• 19:25
  biggest
• 19:26
  scam.
• 19:27
  So
• 19:27
  what
• 19:27
  did
• 19:27
  I
• 19:28
  do?
• 19:28
  I
• 19:29
  was
• 19:29
  curious.
• 19:29
  I
• 19:30
  called
• 19:30
  my
• 19:30
  local
• 19:31
  FBI
• 19:31
  office
• 19:32
  and
• 19:32
  talked
• 19:32
  to
• 19:32
  them
• 19:33
  and
• 19:33
  they
• 19:33
  said
• 19:34
  they
• 19:34
  hadn't
• 19:34
  even
• 19:35
  heard
• 19:35
  about
• 19:35
  it,
• 19:36
  let
• 19:36
  alone
• 19:37
  thought
• 19:37
  it
• 19:38
  was
• 19:38
  a
• 19:38
  big
• 19:38
  upcoming
• 19:39
  one.
• 19:40
  So
• 19:40
  be
• 19:40
  careful
• 19:41
  of
• 19:41
  this.
• 19:41
  I
• 19:41
  think
• 19:42
  that
• 19:43
  home
• 19:43
  title
• 19:44
  insurance
• 19:44
  stuff
• 19:45
  for
• 19:46
  you
• 19:46
  to
• 19:46
  go
• 19:46
  out
• 19:46
  and
• 19:46
  buy
• 19:47
  probably
• 19:49
  is
• 19:49
  not
• 19:49
  something
• 19:50
  you're
• 19:50
  going
• 19:50
  to
• 19:50
  ever
• 19:50
  need.
• 19:51
  I
• 19:51
  think
• 19:51
  it's
• 19:52
  so
• 19:52
  rare.
• 19:53
  Now
• 19:54
  rare
• 19:54
  means
• 19:54
  that
• 19:55
  there's
• 19:55
  always
• 19:56
  something
• 19:56
  that
• 19:57
  can
• 19:57
  happen.
• 19:57
  So
• 19:58
  I
• 19:58
  just
• 19:58
  think
• 19:58
  the
• 19:58
  risk
• 19:59
  of
• 19:59
  you
• 19:59
  and
• 20:00
  take
• 20:00
  a
• 20:00
  look
• 20:00
  in
• 20:00
  your
• 20:00
  area,
• 20:01
  talk
• 20:01
  to
• 20:02
  a
• 20:02
  title
• 20:02
  company
• 20:02
  and
• 20:03
  see
• 20:03
  what
• 20:03
  they
• 20:03
  say
• 20:04
  are
• 20:04
  your
• 20:05
  state
• 20:05
  laws
• 20:05
  and
• 20:05
  how
• 20:06
  they
• 20:06
  have
• 20:06
  to
• 20:06
  do
• 20:06
  it
• 20:06
  so
• 20:07
  hard
• 20:07
  that
• 20:07
  they
• 20:07
  can't
• 20:08
  or
• 20:09
  it's
• 20:09
  nearly
• 20:09
  impossible.
• 20:10
  So
• 20:11
  be
• 20:11
  careful
• 20:11
  with
• 20:11
  that.
• 20:12
  If
• 20:12
  you
• 20:12
  want
• 20:12
  to
• 20:12
  pay
• 20:12
  for
• 20:12
  it,
• 20:13
  go
• 20:13
  for
• 20:13
  it,
• 20:13
  but
• 20:14
  no
• 20:14
  need
• 20:14
  to
• 20:14
  pay
• 20:14
  a
• 20:15
  bunch
• 20:15
  of
• 20:15
  money
• 20:15
  to
• 20:15
  people
• 20:16
  that
• 20:16
  you
• 20:17
  might
• 20:17
  not
• 20:17
  need
• 20:18
  for
• 20:18
  something
• 20:18
  that
• 20:18
  might
• 20:19
  not
• 20:19
  really
• 20:19
  help
• 20:19
  you.
• 20:20
  Now
• 20:20
  I
• 20:20
  want
• 20:21
  to
• 20:21
  be
• 20:21
  really
• 20:21
  clear
• 20:21
  here.
• 20:22
  This
• 20:22
  is
• 20:22
  not
• 20:22
  the
• 20:22
  title
• 20:23
  insurance
• 20:23
  when
• 20:23
  you
• 20:23
  buy
• 20:24
  a
• 20:24
  house
• 20:24
  that
• 20:25
  they
• 20:25
  say,
• 20:25
  hey,
• 20:26
  you're
• 20:26
  buying
• 20:26
  close
• 20:27
  to
• 20:27
  the
• 20:27
  value
• 20:27
  and
• 20:27
  they
• 20:27
  want
• 20:27
  to
• 20:27
  put
• 20:28
  a
• 20:28
  title
• 20:28
  insurance
• 20:29
  on
• 20:29
  it.
• 20:29
  This
• 20:29
  is
• 20:30
  the
• 20:30
  people

• 23:53
  And
• 23:53
  of
• 23:53
  course
• 23:54
  phone
• 23:54
  scammers,
• 23:55
  the

  ones
• 23:55
  that

  Go

  down

  the

• 24:01
  There's
• 24:02
  a

  I

  think

  is
• 24:08
  scammy
• 24:08
  as
• 24:09
  well.
• 24:09
  It's
• 24:09
  just
• 24:09
  not

  something
• 24:10
  you're

  going

  need.
• 24:11
  It's

  so
• 24:12
  rare,

  you're

  better

  putting

  someplace

  else.
• 24:15
  Now,
• 24:16
  the
• 24:16
  next
• 24:16
  one
• 24:16
  here
• 24:17
  is
• 24:18
  more
• 24:18
  of
• 24:19
  a
• 24:19
  place
• 24:19
  that
• 24:19
  you
• 24:19
  have
• 24:19
  to
• 24:19
  be
• 24:20
  really
• 24:20
  careful
• 24:20
  with.
• 24:21
  And
• 24:21
  this
• 24:21
  is
• 24:22
  Facebook
• 24:22
  Marketplace,
• 24:24
  and
• 24:24
  of
• 24:25
  course,
• 24:25
  Nextdoor.
• 24:26
  This
• 24:27
  is
• 24:27
  the
• 24:27
  land
• 24:28
  of
• 24:28
  scammers.
• 24:29
  Now,
• 24:29
  in
• 24:29
  my
• 24:30
  state,
• 24:30
  we
• 24:30
  have
• 24:30
  a
• 24:31
  pretty
• 24:31
  aggressive
• 24:33
  contractor
• 24:33
  board
• 24:34
  here,
• 24:34
  which
• 24:34
  is
• 24:34
  the
• 24:35
  construction
• 24:35
  contractor
• 24:36
  board.
• 24:37
  And
• 24:37
  I
• 24:37
  don't,
• 24:38
  don't
• 24:38
  know
• 24:38
  in
• 24:38
  2025
• 24:39
  as
• 24:39
  this
• 24:39
  is
• 24:40
  happening,
• 24:41
  but
• 24:41
  social
• 24:42
  media
• 24:42
  companies
• 24:43
  like
• 24:43
  Nextdoor
• 24:44
  were
• 24:44
  blocking
• 24:45
  them
• 24:45
  from
• 24:46
  trying
• 24:46
  to
• 24:46
  enforce
• 24:48
  the
• 24:48
  laws
• 24:49
  of
• 24:49
  the
• 24:49
  state
• 24:50
  of
• 24:50
  Oregon.
• 24:51
  So
• 24:51
  they
• 24:51
  would
• 24:51
  have
• 24:52
  illegal
• 24:52
  contractors
• 24:53
  on
• 24:53
  there
• 24:53
  breaking
• 24:54
  the
• 24:54
  law
• 24:54
  stuff
• 24:54
  that
• 24:54
  could
• 24:55
  be
• 24:55
  a
• 24:55
  $5,000
• 24:56
  fine,
• 24:57
  and
• 24:58
  they
• 24:58
  would
• 24:58
  not
• 24:59
  allow
• 24:59
  them
• 24:59
  access
• 25:00
  into
• 25:00
  look
• 25:01
  to
• 25:01
  see
• 25:01
  if
• 25:01
  they
• 25:02
  could
• 25:02
  catch
• 25:02
  those
• 25:02
  people.
• 25:03
  So
• 25:04
  Nextdoor
• 25:04
  was
• 25:04
  actively
• 25:05
  blocking
• 25:06
  them
• 25:06
  from
• 25:07
  getting
• 25:07
  access.
• 25:08
  Now,
• 25:08
  the
• 25:08
  only
• 25:09
  way
• 25:09
  they
• 25:09
  could
• 25:09
  do
• 25:09
  it
• 25:10
  was
• 25:10
  for
• 25:10
  them
• 25:10
  to
• 25:11
  put
• 25:11
  in
• 25:11
  agents
• 25:12
  in
• 25:12
  the
• 25:13
  local
• 25:13
  neighborhoods,
• 25:14
  but
• 25:14
  they
• 25:14
  couldn't
• 25:15
  do.
• 25:15
  They
• 25:15
  just
• 25:15
  didn't
• 25:15
  have
• 25:15
  enough
• 25:16
  people
• 25:16
  to
• 25:16
  do
• 25:16
  it
• 25:16
  statewide.
• 25:17
  So,
• 25:17
  of
• 25:17
  course,
• 25:17
  there's
• 25:18
  a
• 25:18
  lot
• 25:18
  of
• 25:18
  places
• 25:19
  that
• 25:19
  couldn't
• 25:20
  be
• 25:20
  patrolled
• 25:21
  by
• 25:21
  the
• 25:22
  people
• 25:22
  that
• 25:23
  hold
• 25:23
  the
• 25:23
  contractors
• 25:24
  accountable.
• 25:25
  So
• 25:25
  it
• 25:25
  was
• 25:25
  a
• 25:25
  really
• 25:26
  bad
• 25:26
  deal.
• 25:27
  And
• 25:27
  so
• 25:28
  you're
• 25:28
  seeing
• 25:28
  on
• 25:28
  there
• 25:29
  a
• 25:29
  lot
• 25:29
  of
• 25:29
  people
• 25:30
  getting
• 25:30
  scammed.
• 25:31
  There's
• 25:31
  a
• 25:31
  ton
• 25:32
  of
• 25:32
  these
• 25:32
  things
• 25:32
  on
• 25:33
  there.
• 25:33
  And
• 25:34
  I
• 25:34
  really,
• 25:35
  really
• 25:35
  want
• 25:35
  you

  to
• 25:36
  be
• 25:36
  careful

  this.
• 25:37
  Whether
• 25:37
  you're
• 25:37
  buying
• 25:38
  products,
• 25:39
  whether

  you're

  hiring

  somebody

  This

  land

  So

  be

  careful.
• 25:49
  When

  you're

  there
• 25:50
  patrolling,

  looking

  stuff,
• 25:51
  you're

  like,
• 25:52
  hey,

  go
• 25:52
  buy

  something.
• 25:53
  And
• 25:54
  these
• 25:54
  days,
• 25:54
  when

  you're

  materials,

  where

  you're

  trying

  be
• 25:59
  great.
• 26:00
  But
• 26:01
  here's
• 26:01
  some
• 26:01
  things
• 26:02
  to
• 26:02
  look

  for
• 26:02
  when

  you
• 26:03
  see
• 26:03
  these

  One,

  take

  you

  know

  what

• 26:14
  or
• 26:15
  their

• 26:16
  and

  it
• 26:16
  looks
• 26:17
  like
• 26:17
  with
• 26:17
  all
• 26:17
  the

  stuff,
• 26:18
  you're

  mountains
• 26:19
  in

  the

  Northwest.
• 26:21
  Buyer
• 26:22
  beware.
• 26:23
  That
• 26:23
  could
• 26:23
  be
• 26:24
  a
• 26:24
  problem.
• 26:25
  I
• 26:25
  see
• 26:25
  that
• 26:25
  and
• 26:26
  go,
• 26:26
  ooh,

  there.
• 26:28
  We

• 26:28
  to
• 26:29
  be
• 26:29
  careful
• 26:29

  this.
• 26:30
  So
• 26:30
  take
• 26:31
  a
• 26:31
  look
• 26:31
  around.
• 26:31
  What
• 26:32
  does
• 26:32
  it
• 26:32
  look
• 26:32
  like?
• 26:32
  Does
• 26:32
  the
• 26:33
  yard
• 26:33
  look
• 26:33
  like
• 26:34
  what's
• 26:34
  happening?
• 26:35
  What's
• 26:35
  going
• 26:36
  on?
• 26:36
  Does
• 26:36
  it
• 26:36
  look

  like
• 26:37
  a

  you're
• 26:38
  going
• 26:38
  to
• 26:38
  sit
• 26:39
  there
• 26:39
  and
• 26:39
  go,
• 26:39
  wait
• 26:40
  a
• 26:40
  minute,
• 26:41
  this
• 26:41
  is
• 26:42
  not
• 26:42
  right.
• 26:43
  So
• 26:43
  be
• 26:44
  very
• 26:44
  careful
• 26:45
  of
• 26:45
  what
• 26:45
  you
• 26:45
  see
• 26:46
  out
• 26:46
  there.
• 26:46
  Take
• 26:46
  a
• 26:46
  look.
• 26:47
  Do
• 26:47
  a
• 26:47
  deep
• 26:47
  dive.
• 26:48
  Look
• 26:49
  at
• 26:49
  their

• 26:49
  Are
• 26:50
  they
• 26:50
  brand
• 26:50
  new?
• 26:50
  Are
• 26:50
  you
• 26:51
  the
• 26:51
  first
• 26:51
  post?
• 26:51
  Or

  they

  have
• 26:52
  a
• 26:53
  great
• 26:53
  rating
• 26:53
  on
• 26:53
  Facebook.
• 26:55
  Take
• 26:55
  some
• 26:55
  time
• 26:55
  and
• 26:56
  do
• 26:56
  your
• 26:56
  research
• 26:57
  and
• 26:57
  see
• 26:57
  what's
• 26:58
  going

  on.
• 26:59
  There's
• 26:59
  a
• 26:59
  lot
• 27:00
  of
• 27:00
  scammers
• 27:00
  out
• 27:00
  there.
• 27:01
  And
• 27:01
  then
• 27:02
  buyer
• 27:02
  beware.
• 27:03
  Maybe
• 27:04
  not
• 27:04
  meet
• 27:04
  at
• 27:04
  your
• 27:05
  house
• 27:05
  to

  buy
• 27:06
  something.
• 27:06
  Maybe
• 27:06
  you're
• 27:07
  going
• 27:07
  over
• 27:07
  to
• 27:07
  their
• 27:07
  house.
• 27:08
  Or
• 27:08
  if
• 27:08
  you're
• 27:08
  selling,
• 27:09
  be
• 27:09
  careful
• 27:09
  there,
• 27:10
  too.
• 27:10
  Seen

  lot
• 27:11
  of

  hand

  Buy

  up,
• 27:18
  you're
• 27:18
  in
• 27:18
  trouble.
• 27:19
  Maybe
• 27:20
  Venmo
• 27:20
  is
• 27:20
  the
• 27:20
  way
• 27:21
  to
• 27:21
  go.
• 27:21
  Maybe
• 27:21
  they
• 27:21
  can
• 27:22
  Venmo
• 27:22
  you.
• 27:23
  And
• 27:23
  that
• 27:23
  money
• 27:23
  gets
• 27:23
  in
• 27:23
  your

  account.
• 27:24
  You

  see
• 27:24
  it

  pretty
• 27:25
  hard

  to

  So

  that.
• 27:29
  So

  Just

  They're

  the

  got

  a

• 27:49
  It's
• 27:49
  Sunday
• 27:50
  afternoon
• 27:50
  on
• 27:50
  a

• 27:51
  you
• 27:52
  need
• 27:52
  somebody
• 27:52
  over

  because
• 27:53
  you
• 27:53
  got
• 27:53
  friends

  the
• 27:54
  toilets
• 27:55
  are
• 27:55
  backing
• 27:55
  up.
• 27:56
  Now
• 27:56
  here's
• 27:56
  a
• 27:57
  problem.
• 27:57
  And
• 27:57
  I
• 27:57
  learned
• 27:58
  this
• 27:58
  from
• 27:59
  my
• 27:59
  buddy
• 27:59
  Roger
• 27:59
  Wakefield,
• 28:00
  the
• 28:00
  expert
• 28:01
  plumber,
• 28:01
  probably
• 28:01
  the
• 28:01
  most
• 28:02
  famous
• 28:02
  plumber
• 28:02
  out
• 28:03
  there.
• 28:03
  This
• 28:04
  guy
• 28:05
  has
• 28:05
  seen
• 28:05
  it
• 28:05
  all.
• 28:06
  Now
• 28:06
  here's
• 28:07
  what
• 28:07
  happens.
• 28:08
  This
• 28:08
  is
• 28:09
  that
• 28:09
  bad
• 28:09
  drain
• 28:10
  company
• 28:11
  that
• 28:11
  comes
• 28:11
  out
• 28:12
  to
• 28:12
  take
• 28:12
  your
• 28:12
  money.
• 28:13
  Now
• 28:14
  we
• 28:14
  have
• 28:14
  these
• 28:15
  cameras,
• 28:15
  right?
• 28:16
  They're
• 28:16
  sliding
• 28:17
  the
• 28:17
  camera
• 28:17
  down
• 28:18
  in
• 28:18
  the
• 28:18
  sewer
• 28:19
  line
• 28:19
  to
• 28:19
  take
• 28:19
  a
• 28:19
  look
• 28:19
  at
• 28:20
  it.
• 28:20
  Maybe
• 28:20
  it's
• 28:21
  roots,
• 28:21
  maybe
• 28:21
  it's
• 28:21
  a
• 28:22
  broken
• 28:22
  line.
• 28:22
  Whatever
• 28:23
  the
• 28:24
  bad
• 28:24
  ones
• 28:25
  have
• 28:25
  pre
• 28:25
  saved
• 28:26
  in
• 28:26
  their
• 28:26
  system,
• 28:27
  which
• 28:27
  is
• 28:27
  just
• 28:27
  an
• 28:28
  old
• 28:28
  job
• 28:29
  that
• 28:29
  they
• 28:29
  can
• 28:30
  take
• 28:30
  a
• 28:30
  look
• 28:30
  at,
• 28:31
  they
• 28:31
  could
• 28:31
  save
• 28:31
  it
• 28:32
  as
• 28:32
  your
• 28:32
  name
• 28:33
  and
• 28:33
  the
• 28:33
  file
• 28:34
  in
• 28:34
  the
• 28:35
  time
• 28:36
  they
• 28:36
  jump
• 28:36
  in
• 28:36
  there,
• 28:37
  they
• 28:37
  run
• 28:38
  it,
• 28:38
  they
• 28:38
  come
• 28:38
  inside
• 28:38
  and
• 28:39
  go,
• 28:39
  look,
• 28:39
  here's
• 28:39
  the
• 28:39
  video.
• 28:40
  Here's
• 28:40
  what's
• 28:40
  going
• 28:41
  on.
• 28:41
  You
• 28:41
  have
• 28:42
  a
• 28:42
  broken
• 28:42
  pipe.
• 28:43
  It's

  $8,000
• 28:44
  to
• 28:45
  come
• 28:45
  fix
• 28:45
  it.
• 28:46
  So
• 28:46
  I
• 28:47
  always
• 28:47
  recommend
• 28:48
  when
• 28:48
  you've

  can

  be
• 28:52
  a
• 28:52
  hassle,
• 28:54
  I

  want

• 29:00
  watch
• 29:00
  them
• 29:01
  do
• 29:01
  it.
• 29:01
  Watch
• 29:02
  them
• 29:02
  put
• 29:02
  the
• 29:02
  camera
• 29:03
  in.
• 29:04
  Make
• 29:04
  sure
• 29:04
  that
• 29:04
  you
• 29:04
  see
• 29:05
  it
• 29:05
  that
• 29:05
  way,
• 29:06
  you
• 29:06
  know
• 29:06
  it's
• 29:06
  not
• 29:06
  a
• 29:06
  scam.
• 29:07
  They're
• 29:07
  not
• 29:07
  going
• 29:07
  to
• 29:08
  have
• 29:08
  it
• 29:08
  that
• 29:08
  lined
• 29:08
  up,
• 29:09
  but
• 29:09
  you
• 29:09
  can
• 29:10
  watch
• 29:10
  them
• 29:10
  feed
• 29:10
  it
• 29:10
  down.
• 29:11
  You
• 29:11
  can
• 29:11
  see
• 29:11
  them
• 29:11
  move
• 29:12
  it
• 29:12
  and
• 29:12
  then
• 29:13
  you
• 29:13
  can
• 29:13
  see
• 29:13
  what's
• 29:14
  actually
• 29:14
  going
• 29:14
  on.
• 29:15
  But
• 29:15
  most
• 29:16
  importantly,
• 29:16
  hire
• 29:17
  a
• 29:17
  reputable
• 29:17
  company.
• 29:18
  Not
• 29:19
  too
• 29:19
  hard
• 29:19
  to
• 29:19
  find
• 29:19
  the
• 29:20
  name
• 29:20
  brand
• 29:20
  ones
• 29:20
  you're
• 29:20
  driving
• 29:21
  around
• 29:21
  with
• 29:21
  all
• 29:21
  the
• 29:21
  trucks
• 29:22
  and
• 29:22
  all
• 29:22
  that
• 29:22
  stuff.
• 29:23
  Usually
• 29:24
  they're
• 29:24
  not
• 29:24
  the
• 29:25
  ones
• 29:25
  scamming
• 29:25
  you.
• 29:26
  Usually
• 29:26
  it's
• 29:27
  the
• 29:27
  ones
• 29:28
  that
• 29:28
  are
• 29:28
  out
• 29:29
  there
• 29:29
  that
• 29:29
  are

  the

  the

  can
• 29:32
  really
• 29:33
  get
• 29:33
  you
• 29:33
  there.

  very
• 29:35
  careful
• 29:35
  with
• 29:35
  these

  might
• 29:37
  be

  the

  one
• 29:38
  to

  call

  you

  back.

  You
• 29:39
  might

  have

  gotten

  of

  social

  you

  might

  gotten

  Hire

  do

  what

  way

  they

• 30:09
  and
• 30:10
  fixing
• 30:10
  it.
• 30:10
  Long
• 30:10
  term,
• 30:11
  that
• 30:11
  could
• 30:12
  be
• 30:12
  the
• 30:12
  issue.
• 30:13
  So
• 30:13
  take
• 30:13
  the
• 30:14
  time
• 30:15
  and
• 30:15
  make

  sure
• 30:16
  you

• 30:16
  the
• 30:16
  right
• 30:16
  people
• 30:17
  there
• 30:17
  because
• 30:18
  there
• 30:18
  are
• 30:18
  some
• 30:18
  scammy
• 30:19
  ones
• 30:19
  out
• 30:19
  there
• 30:19
  and
• 30:19
  they're
• 30:20
  getting
• 30:20
  people
• 30:20
  all
• 30:20
  day
• 30:20
  long
• 30:21
  and
• 30:21
  they're
• 30:21
  fixing
• 30:22
  a
• 30:22
  pipe
• 30:22
  that
• 30:22
  didn't
• 30:22
  need
• 30:23
  to
• 30:23
  be
• 30:23
  fixed.
• 30:24
  But
• 30:24
  hey,
• 30:24
  they're
• 30:24
  getting
• 30:24
  their
• 30:25
  check.
• 30:25
  And
• 30:25
  a
• 30:26
  lot
• 30:26
  of
• 30:26
  these
• 30:26
  guys
• 30:26
  make
• 30:27
  a
• 30:27
  commission
• 30:28
  on
• 30:28
  what
• 30:28
  they
• 30:28
  sell.
• 30:29
  So
• 30:30
  those
• 30:30
  are
• 30:30
  the
• 30:30
  ones
• 30:30
  you
• 30:30
  got
• 30:30
  to
• 30:31
  be
• 30:31
  careful
• 30:31
  with.
• 30:32
  So
• 30:32
  take
• 30:32
  your
• 30:32
  time,
• 30:33
  watch
• 30:34
  the
• 30:34
  process
• 30:35
  and
• 30:35
  make
• 30:36
  sure
• 30:36
  you
• 30:36
  understand
• 30:36
  what's
• 30:37
  going
• 30:37
  on.
• 30:37
  If
• 30:37
  they're
• 30:38
  not
• 30:38
  going
• 30:38
  to
• 30:38
  let
• 30:38
  you
• 30:38
  watch
• 30:39
  it,
• 30:39
  that
• 30:40
  makes
• 30:40
  me
• 30:40
  nervous
• 30:41
  because
• 30:42
  that
• 30:42
  could
• 30:42
  be
• 30:42
  a
• 30:42
  total
• 30:42
  setup
• 30:43
  to
• 30:43
  see
• 30:43
  what's
• 30:44
  going
• 30:44
  on.
• 30:44
  And
• 30:45
  then
• 30:45
  of
• 30:45
  course,
• 30:45
  if
• 30:45
  you
• 30:46
  can
• 30:46
  get
• 30:46
  a
• 30:46
  bunch
• 30:46
  of
• 30:47
  bids,
• 30:47
  two
• 30:48
  or
• 30:48
  three
• 30:48
  to
• 30:48
  find
• 30:48
  out
• 30:48
  what's
• 30:49
  going
• 30:49
  on
• 30:49
  and
• 30:50
  let
• 30:50
  two
• 30:50
  or
• 30:50
  three
• 30:51
  people
• 30:51
  tell
• 30:51
  you
• 30:51
  what's
• 30:51
  going
• 30:52
  on
• 30:52
  with
• 30:52
  it
• 30:52
  so
• 30:53
  you
• 30:53
  know
• 30:53
  you've
• 30:53
  got
• 30:53
  the
• 30:53
  right
• 30:54
  thing
• 30:54
  going
• 30:54
  on.
• 30:55
  That
• 30:55
  way
• 30:55
  it'll
• 30:55
  save
• 30:56
  money
• 30:56
  and
• 30:56
  you
• 30:56
  don't
• 30:57
  get
• 30:57
  taken
• 30:57
  to
• 30:57
  the
• 30:57
  cleaners
• 30:58
  and
• 30:59
  that's
• 30:59
  never
• 30:59
  good.
• 31:00
  Now
• 31:01
  here's
• 31:01
  the
• 31:01
  next
• 31:01
  one
• 31:02
  here,
• 31:02
  and
• 31:02
  this
• 31:02
  is
• 31:02
  a
• 31:02
  big
• 31:02
  one.
• 31:03
  We'll
• 31:04
  have
• 31:04
  a
• 31:04
  few.
• 31:04
  Maybe
• 31:04
  we'll
• 31:05
  have
• 31:05
  some
• 31:05
  time
• 31:05
  here
• 31:05
  for
• 31:05
  some
• 31:06
  honorable
• 31:06
  mentions
• 31:07
  in
• 31:07
  our

  last
• 31:07
  segment
• 31:08
  of
• 31:08
  the
• 31:08
  show.
• 31:09
  But
• 31:10
  really,
• 31:10
  when
• 31:10
  I'm
• 31:11
  taking
• 31:11
  a
• 31:11
  look
• 31:11
  at
• 31:11
  stuff
• 31:12
  here,
• 31:13
  one
• 31:13
  of
• 31:13
  my
• 31:13
  biggest
• 31:13
  ones
• 31:15
  are
• 31:15
  the
• 31:15
  door
• 31:16
  to
• 31:16
  door
• 31:17
  contractors.
• 31:18
  These
• 31:19
  are
• 31:19
  the
• 31:19
  ones
• 31:19
  that
• 31:19
  are
• 31:19
  knocking
• 31:20
  on
• 31:20
  your
• 31:20
  door
• 31:21
  trying
• 31:21
  to
• 31:21
  sell
• 31:22
  windows,
• 31:23
  trying
• 31:23
  to
• 31:23
  sell
• 31:24
  roofing,
• 31:25
  trying
• 31:25
  to
• 31:25
  sell
• 31:26
  pest
• 31:26

• 31:28
  trying
• 31:28
  to
• 31:28
  do
• 31:28
  all
• 31:29
  of
• 31:29
  that.
• 31:30
  Now
• 31:30
  when
• 31:31
  they
• 31:31
  show
• 31:31
  up,
• 31:32
  half
• 31:32
  the
• 31:33
  time
• 31:33
  they'll
• 31:33
  be
• 31:33
  say,
• 31:33
  hey,
• 31:34
  I
• 31:34
  was
• 31:34
  at
• 31:34
  Mr.
• 31:35
  Jones
• 31:35
  house
• 31:35
  right
• 31:35
  around
• 31:36
  the
• 31:36
  corner.
• 31:36
  We're
• 31:37
  doing
• 31:37
  a
• 31:37
  job
• 31:38
  at
• 31:38
  his
• 31:38
  house
• 31:39
  next
• 31:39
  week.
• 31:39
  And
• 31:40
  since
• 31:40
  we're
• 31:40
  going
• 31:40
  to
• 31:40
  be
• 31:41
  in
• 31:41
  the
• 31:41
  neighborhood,
• 31:42
  we
• 31:42
  could
• 31:43
  parlay
• 31:43
  yours
• 31:43
  on
• 31:44
  with
• 31:44
  that
• 31:44
  one
• 31:45
  and
• 31:45
  I
• 31:45
  could
• 31:45
  save
• 31:46
  you
• 31:46
  some
• 31:46
  money.
• 31:47
  Now,
• 31:48
  they
• 31:48
  will
• 31:48
  use
• 31:48
  high
• 31:48
  pressure
• 31:49
  sales
• 31:49
  tactics.
• 31:50
  They
• 31:50
  will
• 31:50
  give
• 31:51
  you
• 31:51
  an
• 31:51
  astronomical
• 31:52
  price
• 31:52
  and
• 31:52
  say,
• 31:53
  because
• 31:53
  we're
• 31:53
  just
• 31:53
  over
• 31:54
  Mr.
• 31:54
  Jones
• 31:54
  house,
• 31:55
  we
• 31:56
  could
• 31:56
  save
• 31:56
  you
• 31:56
  40%.
• 31:57
  And
• 31:57
  usually
• 31:58
  that
• 31:58
  40%
• 31:59
  price
• 31:59
  is
• 31:59
  probably
• 31:59
  higher
• 31:59
  than
• 32:00
  the
• 32:00
  next
• 32:00
  two
• 32:00
  people
• 32:00
  you'll
• 32:01
  get
• 32:01
  bids

  a

  few

  A

  I've

  seen

  this

  happen
• 35:48
  multiple
• 35:48
  times,
• 35:49
  and
• 35:49
  it
• 35:49
  can
• 35:49
  be
• 35:49
  pretty
• 35:50
  harrowing,
• 35:50
  especially
• 35:52
  when

  you

  know

  you're

  and
• 35:57
  these

  are
• 35:57
  big
• 35:57
  ones,
• 35:58
  keep
• 35:58
  an
• 35:58
  eye
• 35:59
  out
• 35:59
  for
• 35:59
  these

  When

  out
• 36:02
  there,
• 36:02
  this
• 36:03
  could
• 36:03
  be
• 36:03
  tough.
• 36:03
  You
• 36:03
  want
• 36:04
  to

  ask,
• 36:05
  but
• 36:05
  take
• 36:05
  a
• 36:05
  look

  around.

  If

  not

  check

  out
• 36:13
  a

  not

  somebody

  answer
• 36:17
  questions
• 36:17
  for
• 36:18
  you.
• 36:18
  When
• 36:18
  you
• 36:18
  walk
• 36:18
  around
• 36:19
  the
• 36:19
  house,
• 36:19
  what's
• 36:19
  the
• 36:19
  history
• 36:20
  on

  this?
• 36:20
  What's
• 36:20
  going
• 36:21
  on?
• 36:21
  Make
• 36:22
  sure
• 36:22
  that
• 36:22
  you're
• 36:22
  at
• 36:22
  least
• 36:23
  then
• 36:23
  dealing
• 36:23
  with
• 36:23
  an
• 36:24
  agency
• 36:24
  that's
• 36:24
  managing
• 36:25
  the
• 36:25
  rental.
• 36:26
  That
• 36:26
  way
• 36:27
  you
• 36:27
  know
• 36:28
  what's
• 36:28
  going
• 36:28
  on.
• 36:29
  Do
• 36:29
  they
• 36:30
  have
• 36:30
  an
• 36:30
  office?
• 36:30
  Have
• 36:30
  you
• 36:31
  been
• 36:31
  by
• 36:31
  it?
• 36:32
  Is
• 36:32
  this
• 36:32
  a
• 36:32
  legitimate
• 36:33
  place?
• 36:34
  It's
• 36:34
  pretty
• 36:35
  tough
• 36:35
  to
• 36:35
  find
• 36:35
  out
• 36:35
  sometimes,
• 36:37
  but
• 36:37
  it's
• 36:38
  something
• 36:38
  you
• 36:38
  should
• 36:38
  be
• 36:39
  really
• 36:39
  careful
• 36:39
  of
• 36:40
  because
• 36:41
  the
• 36:41
  last
• 36:41
  thing
• 36:41
  you
• 36:41
  want
• 36:41
  is
• 36:42
  somebody
• 36:42
  sitting
• 36:42
  there
• 36:42
  taking
• 36:43
  advantage
• 36:43
  of
• 36:43
  you
• 36:44
  and
• 36:44
  having
• 36:44
  to
• 36:44
  move
• 36:45
  again
• 36:45
  or
• 36:46
  even
• 36:46
  worse,
• 36:46
  getting
• 36:46
  locked
• 36:47
  out
• 36:47
  of
• 36:47
  your
• 36:47
  belongings.
• 36:48
  So
• 36:48
  be
• 36:48
  very
• 36:49
  careful
• 36:49
  out
• 36:49
  there.
• 36:50
  For

  all
• 36:50
  of

  you

  even

  not
• 36:54
  do
• 36:55
  like
• 36:55
  an

  Airbnb,
• 36:56
  I
• 36:57
  would
• 36:57
  go
• 36:57
  through
• 36:57
  a

  company
• 36:58
  like

  VRBO

  the

  vacation
• 37:00
  rental
• 37:01
  companies.
• 37:01
  I've
• 37:02
  seen
• 37:02
  this
• 37:02
  happen
• 37:02
  as
• 37:03
  well,
• 37:03
  where
• 37:04
  somebody
• 37:04
  takes
• 37:04
  an
• 37:04
  abandoned
• 37:05
  property,
• 37:05
  cleans
• 37:06
  it
• 37:06
  up
• 37:06
  a
• 37:06
  little
• 37:06
  bit,
• 37:06
  and
• 37:07
  then
• 37:07
  they're
• 37:07
  making
• 37:07
  money
• 37:07
  off
• 37:08
  of
• 37:08
  it
• 37:08
  until
• 37:09
  somebody
• 37:09
  gets
• 37:09
  caught.
• 37:10
  And
• 37:10
  Murphy's
• 37:10
  law
• 37:11
  says
• 37:11
  that's
• 37:12
  probably
• 37:12
  going
• 37:12

  Now,

  but
• 37:22
  it's
• 37:23
  something
• 37:23
  you

  should
• 37:23
  keep

  an
• 37:24
  eye

  on.

  that

  stores

  it's

  harder

  stolen.
• 37:58
  I
• 37:58
  bet
• 37:58
  that
• 37:58
  is
• 37:59
  not
• 37:59
  a
• 37:59
  legitimate
• 38:00
  thing.

  So

• 38:11
  You
• 38:11
  just
• 38:11
  gotta

  be
• 38:12
  really

  what's

  because

  thing

  you

  want

  do

  some

  model
• 38:20
  number
• 38:20
  that

  shows
• 38:21
  up
• 38:21
  in
• 38:21
  a
• 38:21
  database
• 38:22
  and
• 38:22
  they
• 38:23
  go
• 38:23
  looking
• 38:23
  at
• 38:23
  you
• 38:24
  and
• 38:24
  you've
• 38:24
  got
• 38:24
  stolen
• 38:25
  materials.
• 38:26
  So
• 38:26
  be
• 38:26
  really
• 38:27
  careful
• 38:27
  with
• 38:28
  that.
• 38:28
  Use
• 38:29
  common
• 38:29
  sense.
• 38:30
  That's
• 38:30
  all
• 38:30
  you
• 38:30
  have
• 38:31
  to
• 38:31
  do
• 38:31
  is
• 38:32
  use
• 38:32
  a
• 38:32
  little
• 38:32
  common
• 38:33
  sense
• 38:33
  when
• 38:33
  you
• 38:33
  take
• 38:33
  a
• 38:33
  look
• 38:34
  at
• 38:34
  it,
• 38:34
  go,
• 38:34
  ah,
• 38:34
  this
• 38:34
  seems
• 38:35
  too
• 38:35
  good
• 38:35
  to
• 38:35
  be
• 38:35
  true.
• 38:36
  Maybe
• 38:36
  I
• 38:37
  don't
• 38:37
  want
• 38:37
  to
• 38:37
  do
• 38:38
  this.
• 38:38
  And
• 38:38
  that
• 38:39
  could
• 38:39
  be
• 38:39
  the
• 38:39
  answer
• 38:39
  right
• 38:40
  there.
• 38:40
  So
• 38:41
  be
• 38:41
  really
• 38:41
  careful
• 38:41
  with
• 38:42
  that
• 38:42
  one.
• 38:42
  And
• 38:43
  no
• 38:43
  sense
• 38:43
  of
• 38:44
  getting
• 38:44
  stuff
• 38:44
  getting
• 38:44
  yourself
• 38:45
  taken
• 38:45
  advantage
• 38:45
  of
• 38:46
  because
• 38:46
  the
• 38:46
  last
• 38:46
  thing

  you
• 38:47
  need

  do
• 38:47
  is

  stolen
• 38:48
  goods
• 38:48
  and
• 38:49
  that
• 38:49
  can
• 38:49
  just
• 38:49
  not
• 38:50
  be
• 38:50
  going

  be

  big.

  You

• 40:40
  realtor
• 40:41
  is,
• 40:41
  if
• 40:41
  you're
• 40:41
  getting
• 40:41
  into
• 40:42
  these
• 40:42
  things,
• 40:43
  just
• 40:43
  talk
• 40:44
  to
• 40:44
  them,
• 40:45
  find
• 40:45
  out
• 40:45
  what's
• 40:46
  going
• 40:46
  on
• 40:46
  and
• 40:47
  really
• 40:47
  pay
• 40:48
  attention
• 40:48
  to
• 40:48
  what's
• 40:48
  happening.
• 40:49
  Because
• 40:49
  one
• 40:50
  simple
• 40:50
  phone
• 40:51
  call
• 40:51
  can
• 40:51
  really
• 40:51
  stop
• 40:52
  this
• 40:53
  thing
• 40:53
  from
• 40:53
  going
• 40:53
  sideways.
• 40:54
  So
• 40:54
  be
• 40:54
  really
• 40:55
  careful
• 40:55
  and
• 40:56
  pay
• 40:56
  attention
• 40:56
  to
• 40:56
  that.
• 40:57
  So
• 40:58
  there's
• 40:58
  a
• 40:58
  lot
• 40:59
  of
• 40:59
  those
• 40:59
  kind
• 40:59
  of
• 40:59
  things
• 40:59
  out
• 41:00
  there
• 41:00
  that
• 41:00
  you
• 41:00
  just
• 41:00
  gotta
• 41:00
  be
• 41:01
  really
• 41:01
  careful
• 41:01
  with
• 41:01
  because
• 41:02
  it's
• 41:02
  hard
• 41:03
  to
• 41:03
  navigate.
• 41:04
  It's
• 41:04
  really
• 41:05
  hard
• 41:05
  to
• 41:05
  navigate.
• 41:06
  One
• 41:06
  of
• 41:06
  the
• 41:06
  other
• 41:06
  ones
• 41:06
  that
• 41:07
  I
• 41:07
  see
• 41:07
  out
• 41:07
  there
• 41:07
  that
• 41:07
  is
• 41:08
  scammy
• 41:08
  too,
• 41:08
  is
• 41:09
  some
• 41:10
  foundation
• 41:10
  contractors
• 41:11
  in
• 41:12
  the
• 41:12
  real
• 41:12
  estate
• 41:13
  transaction.
• 41:15
  What
• 41:15
  I
• 41:15
  recommend
• 41:16
  is
• 41:16
  if
• 41:16
  you're
• 41:16
  in
• 41:16
  a
• 41:17
  real
• 41:17
  estate
• 41:17
  transaction
• 41:18
  and
• 41:18
  you've
• 41:19
  got
• 41:19
  a
• 41:19
  crack
• 41:19
  or
• 41:19
  damage
• 41:20
  the
• 41:20
  foundation
• 41:21
  and
• 41:21
  it
• 41:21
  comes
• 41:22
  up
• 41:22
  in
• 41:22
  the
• 41:22
  inspection,
• 41:23
  hire
• 41:23
  the
• 41:24
  structural
• 41:24
  engineer
• 41:24
  first.
• 41:25
  If
• 41:25
  you're
• 41:25
  listening
• 41:25
  to
• 41:25
  the
• 41:26
  show
• 41:26
  that's
• 41:26
  frequent,
• 41:26
  you've
• 41:27
  heard
• 41:27
  me
• 41:27
  say
• 41:27
  this
• 41:27
  before,
• 41:28
  but
• 41:29
  take
• 41:29
  the
• 41:29
  time.
• 41:30
  Get
• 41:30
  a
• 41:30
  licensed
• 41:31
  structural
• 41:32
  engineer
• 41:33
  out
• 41:33
  there
• 41:33
  to
• 41:33
  take
• 41:33
  a
• 41:33
  look
• 41:33
  and
• 41:34
  write
• 41:34
  a
• 41:34
  report.
• 41:35
  That's
• 41:35
  the
• 41:35
  first
• 41:35
  step.
• 41:36
  But
• 41:36
  the
• 41:36
  problem
• 41:36
  is
• 41:37
  that
• 41:37
  because
• 41:38
  you
• 41:38
  have
• 41:38
  this
• 41:38
  tight
• 41:39
  inspection
• 41:39
  window,
• 41:41
  you're
• 41:41
  really
• 41:42
  concerned
• 41:42
  about
• 41:43
  trying
• 41:43
  to
• 41:43
  get
• 41:43
  things
• 41:44
  taken
• 41:44
  care
• 41:44
  of.
• 41:45
  But
• 41:45
  the
• 41:45
  problem
• 41:46
  is
• 41:46
  that
• 41:46
  speed
• 41:47
  makes
• 41:47
  you
• 41:47
  an
• 41:47
  instant
• 41:48
  victim.
• 41:49
  Because
• 41:49
  when
• 41:50
  you
• 41:50
  call
• 41:50
  up
• 41:50
  a
• 41:51
  company
• 41:51
  and
• 41:51
  say,
• 41:51
  hey,
• 41:51
  I
• 41:51
  need
• 41:51
  to
• 41:52
  next
• 41:52
  couple
• 41:52
  days,
• 41:53
  I
• 41:53
  need
• 41:53
  you
• 41:53
  to
• 41:53
  come
• 41:53
  out
• 41:53
  and
• 41:53
  take
• 41:53
  a
• 41:53
  look
• 41:53
  at
• 41:54
  this,
• 41:54
  they
• 41:55
  know
• 41:55
  it's
• 41:55
  a
• 41:55
  quick
• 41:55
  job.
• 41:56
  They
• 41:56
  know
• 41:56
  they're
• 41:56
  gonna
• 41:57
  have
• 41:57
  to
• 41:57
  price
• 41:57
  it
• 41:57
  into
• 41:57
  the
• 41:57
  deal.
• 41:58
  And
• 41:59
  oh
• 41:59
  my
• 41:59
  gosh,
• 42:00
  you
• 42:00
  could
• 42:00
  pay
• 42:01
  50,
• 42:01
  60,
• 42:02
  70%
• 42:02
  more
• 42:02
  because
• 42:03
  a
• 42:03
  company
• 42:03
  sees
• 42:03
  you
• 42:04
  coming.
• 42:05
  So
• 42:05
  what
• 42:05
  you
• 42:05
  wanna
• 42:05
  do
• 42:06
  is
• 42:06
  have
• 42:06
  the
• 42:06
  structural
• 42:06
  engineer
• 42:07
  come
• 42:07
  out
• 42:07
  and
• 42:07
  see
• 42:07
  it,
• 42:08
  tell
• 42:08
  you
• 42:08
  if
• 42:08
  it's
• 42:08
  a
• 42:08
  big
• 42:08
  deal
• 42:08
  or
• 42:09
  not.
• 42:09
  If
• 42:09
  it's
• 42:10
  not,
• 42:10
  they
• 42:10
  can
• 42:10
  write
• 42:10
  a
• 42:10
  report
• 42:11
  and
• 42:11
  say,
• 42:11
  hey,
• 42:11
  that's
• 42:12
  good,
• 42:12
  it'll
• 42:13
  be
• 42:13
  fine.
• 42:14
  You
• 42:14
  can
• 42:14
  repair
• 42:14
  it
• 42:15
  later.
• 42:16
  It's
• 42:16
  not
• 42:16
  an
• 42:16
  emergency.
• 42:17
  But
• 42:18
  if
• 42:18
  it
• 42:18
  is
• 42:18
  an
• 42:18
  emergency,
• 42:19
  they
• 42:19
  can
• 42:19
  write
• 42:19
  a
• 42:19
  report
• 42:20
  and
• 42:20
  tell
• 42:20
  you
• 42:20
  how
• 42:21
  to
• 42:21
  do
• 42:21
  it.
• 42:22
  Then
• 42:22
  you
• 42:22
  can
• 42:22
  get
• 42:22
  some
• 42:22
  quotes
• 42:23
  and
• 42:23
  estimates
• 42:23
  based
• 42:24
  on
• 42:24
  that,
• 42:24
  and
• 42:25
  then
• 42:25
  you're
• 42:25
  getting
• 42:25
  a
• 42:26
  quote
• 42:26
  and
• 42:26
  an
• 42:26
  estimate
• 42:27
  on
• 42:27
  the
• 42:27
  same
• 42:27
  repair
• 42:28
  so
• 42:28
  you
• 42:28
  know
• 42:28
  who
• 42:29
  is
• 42:29
  trying
• 42:29
  to
• 42:29
  take
• 42:29
  advantage
• 42:30
  of
• 42:30
  you
• 42:31
  or
• 42:31
  who
• 42:31
  can
• 42:32
  do
• 42:32
  it
• 42:32
  quicker
• 42:32
  and
• 42:33
  what
• 42:33
  the
• 42:33
  cost
• 42:33
  is
• 42:33
  going
• 42:34
  to
• 42:34
  be.
• 42:34
  So
• 42:35
  take
• 42:35
  some
• 42:35
  time,
• 42:36
  especially
• 42:37
  in
• 42:37
  these
• 42:37
  real
• 42:38
  estate
• 42:38
  transactions.
• 42:39
  Some
• 42:39
  companies,
• 42:41
  there's
• 42:41
  companies
• 42:41
  in
• 42:42
  my
• 42:42
  area
• 42:42
  that
• 42:42
  I
• 42:42
  would
• 42:43
  never
• 42:43
  call
• 42:45
  because
• 42:45
  they
• 42:45
  get
• 42:45
  you
• 42:46
  going
• 42:46
  good.
• 42:47
  And
• 42:47
  I'm
• 42:48
  not
• 42:48
  talking
• 42:48
  about
• 42:48
  some
• 42:49
  of
• 42:49
  the
• 42:49
  companies
• 42:49
  I
• 42:49
  work
• 42:49
  with,
• 42:50
  like
• 42:50
  John's
• 42:50
  Waterproofing,
• 42:51
  for
• 42:51
  instance,
• 42:51
  era,
• 42:52
  a
• 42:52
  sponsor
• 42:53
  of
• 42:53
  my
• 42:53
  show
• 42:53
  on
• 42:53
  the
• 42:53
  TV
• 42:54
  show
• 42:54
  here
• 42:55
  in
• 42:55
  the
• 42:55
  Portland
• 42:55
  metro
• 42:56
  area.
• 42:56
  Great
• 42:56
  people,
• 42:57
  honest
• 42:57
  company.
• 42:58
  Some
• 42:59
  of
• 42:59
  their
• 42:59
  competitors,
• 43:00
  not
• 43:01
  from
• 43:01
  my
• 43:01
  opinion
• 43:02
  I
• 43:02
  wouldn't
• 43:02
  do
• 43:03
  business
• 43:03
  with
• 43:03
  them.
• 43:04
  So
• 43:04
  these
• 43:04
  are
• 43:04
  things
• 43:05
  that
• 43:05
  you
• 43:05
  should
• 43:05
  really
• 43:05
  pay
• 43:05
  attention
• 43:06
  to
• 43:06
  out
• 43:06
  there,
• 43:06
  because
• 43:07
  you're
• 43:08
  gonna
• 43:08
  pay
• 43:08
  30,
• 43:09
  40,
• 43:09
  50.
• 43:09
  I've
• 43:10
  seen
• 43:10
  people
• 43:10
  pay
• 43:11
  double
• 43:11
  just
• 43:12
  to
• 43:12
  get
• 43:12
  it
• 43:12
  done
• 43:12
  quickly
• 43:12
  so
• 43:13
  they
• 43:13
  can
• 43:13
  get
• 43:13
  through
• 43:13
  the
• 43:13
  process.
• 43:14
  But
• 43:14
  that
• 43:14
  could
• 43:15
  cost
• 43:15
  you
• 43:15
  10
• 43:15
  or
• 43:15
  $15,000.
• 43:17
  And
• 43:17
  unless
• 43:17
  you
• 43:18
  want
• 43:18
  to
• 43:18
  do
• 43:18
  it,
• 43:19
  be
• 43:19
  really
• 43:20
  careful.
• 43:21
  Now,
• 43:22
  many
• 43:22
  times
• 43:23
  these
• 43:23
  scams
• 43:23
  are
• 43:24
  hitting
• 43:24
  older
• 43:24
  people
• 43:25
  as
• 43:25
  well,
• 43:26
  and
• 43:26
  there's
• 43:26
  a
• 43:26
  lot
• 43:27
  of
• 43:27
  red
• 43:27
  flags
• 43:27
  that
• 43:27
  you
• 43:28
  should
• 43:28
  pay
• 43:28
  attention
• 43:28
  to.
• 43:29
  You're
• 43:30
  seeing.
• 43:31
  And
• 43:31
  a
• 43:31
  lot
• 43:31
  of
• 43:32
  legitimate
• 43:32
  companies
• 43:32
  do
• 43:33
  this,
• 43:33
  Hey,
• 43:33
  I
• 43:33
  got
• 43:33
  a
• 43:33
  problem.
• 43:34
  I'll
• 43:34
  come
• 43:34
  give
• 43:34
  you
• 43:34
  a
• 43:35
  free
• 43:35
  inspection,
• 43:36
  which
• 43:36
  is
• 43:37
  good.
• 43:37
  But
• 43:37
  sometimes
• 43:37
  you're
• 43:38
  letting
• 43:38
  a
• 43:38
  criminal
• 43:38
  in
• 43:38
  your
• 43:39
  house
• 43:39
  to
• 43:39
  take
• 43:39
  a
• 43:39
  look
• 43:39
  at
• 43:39
  it.
• 43:40
  And
• 43:40
  now
• 43:41
  the
• 43:41
  other
• 43:41
  thing
• 43:42
  to
• 43:42
  pay
• 43:42
  attention
• 43:42
  to
• 43:42
  is
• 43:43
  disasters.
• 43:44
  When
• 43:44
  you
• 43:45
  have
• 43:45
  a
• 43:45
  hurricane,
• 43:45
  windstorm,
• 43:46
  floods,
• 43:48
  whatever,
• 43:49
  these
• 43:49
  people
• 43:50
  are
• 43:50
  coming
• 43:50
  in
• 43:50
  town
• 43:51
  because
• 43:51
  they
• 43:51
  see
• 43:51
  instant
• 43:52
  victims.
• 43:53
  And
• 43:54
  it's
• 43:54
  just
• 43:54
  like
• 43:54
  some
• 43:55
  of
• 43:55
  the

  Sometimes

  you'll
• 44:11
  see
• 44:11
  them
• 44:11
  go,

  oh,

  you
• 44:12
  a
• 44:12
  killer

  deal

  because
• 44:13
  I've

  got
• 44:13
  these
• 44:13
  materials
• 44:14
  left
• 44:14
  over
• 44:14
  from
• 44:14
  another
• 44:15
  job.
• 44:15
  Nope,
• 44:15
  that's
• 44:16
  rare.
• 44:17
  Super
• 44:17
  rare.
• 44:18
  These
• 44:18
  are
• 44:18
  things
• 44:18
  that
• 44:18
  you
• 44:18
  should
• 44:19
  be
• 44:19
  really
• 44:19
  careful
• 44:20
  of
• 44:21
  and
• 44:21
  don't
• 44:21
  pay
• 44:22
  for
• 44:22
  that
• 44:22
  job
• 44:23
  up
• 44:23
  front
• 44:23
  because
• 44:24
  that
• 44:25
  means
• 44:25
  they're
• 44:25
  just
• 44:26
  going
• 44:26
  to
• 44:26
  take
• 44:26
  the
• 44:26
  money,
• 44:27
  maximum
• 44:28
  50%
• 44:28
  down,
• 44:29
  unless
• 44:29
  there's
• 44:29
  materials
• 44:30
  that
• 44:30
  they're
• 44:30
  going
• 44:30
  to
• 44:30
  buy.
• 44:31
  That's
• 44:31
  a
• 44:31
  different
• 44:31
  story.
• 44:32
  So
• 44:32
  be
• 44:32
  really
• 44:32
  careful,
• 44:33
  guys,
