Sage Advice: “Puppies Become Dogs”

Every new investor is looking for ways to save money. It’s part of the hustle — shave a few dollars here, skip a fee there, and maybe your first deal pencils out a little better. But there’s one shortcut that has cost countless rookies far more than they saved.

It’s the $1,000 mistake — skipping professional due diligence.

Whether it’s an inspection, appraisal, title search, or legal review, too many new investors think, “I can do that myself.” They save a thousand bucks today… and end up losing ten thousand (or more) tomorrow.

A cracked foundation. A hidden lien. A zoning issue that kills your exit strategy. These aren’t hypotheticals — they’re the stories every experienced investor has lived through at least once.

You don’t need to repeat them.

My uncle was a shrewd businessman who believed in nipping problems in the bud or avoiding them altogether if possible. He once said to me in this context, “Puppies become dogs.” After I saw what initially seemed like a small problem blossom into an over-budget project, I realized what he meant.

If you’re serious about building a business, treat professional advice and verification as part of your cost of doing business. The $1,000 you spend on proper due diligence could save you ten times that in mistakes — and a mountain of stress.
