Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I sit down with Joey Sacavitch to break down how to analyze a real estate deal in under 20 minutes—using a clear, repeatable framework that strips out optimism and forces reality into the numbers. We walk through the three stress tests every deal must survive, why relying on appreciation is a mistake, and how value-add investing protects you when rates shift or markets turn. If you want a practical way to spot bad deals before they cost you real money, this episode gives you the exact lens I use. *Joey Sacavitch* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joeysnacks/?hl=en Website: https://kw.com/de/agent/Joey-Sacavitch/120372 *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@radicalwealthplan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Introduction to Radical Wealth Plan 00:01:28 Key Elements of a Good Deal 00:02:03 Stress Testing Deals 00:03:54 Importance of Value Add in Real Estate 00:10:41 Calculating Gross Rent and Vacancy Rates 00:13:32 Operating Expenses and Debt Service 00:17:22 Starting with a Million-Dollar Investment 00:18:17 Comparing Different Investment Strategies 00:19:11 Handling Market Shifts and Property Value 00:20:57 Stress Tests for Real Estate Investments 00:23:28 Expense Shock Test and Due Diligence 00:26:36 Planning for Future Expenses 00:29:44 Rate and Refinance Stress Test Learn more about your ad choices.
