Episode Summary

A builder declared zero liabilities on his questionnaire — hiding 20+ tax judgments and liens. A contract and a budget told contradictory stories about who was paying for $67,000 in utility work — neither document revealed the problem on its own. Construction loan risk doesn't live in any one document. It lives in the gaps between them, and most due diligence reviews aren't built to find it. Sean Faries, CEO of Land Gorilla, has spent 17 years analyzing where construction loans go wrong — and explains why the next step forward isn't more reviews, it's smarter ones.
