- Today, we'll look at how I was blackmailed by a squatter while trying to sell one of my rentals. Situations like this happen and it's important to deal with them both carefully and quickly. When bad actors try to take advantage of average landlords, it costs us money. Those costs get passed into the market via higher rent. They're hurting all of the good, honest tenants out there who pay their rent and don't create problems.
I have laundromats down to a science. If you want to do laundromats as well click the link:

Yes he gave someone $100 who didn't deserve it but if you really think about it, that was actually the best option. Every other option would have involved more time, police, courts or doing something illegal and threatening/beating someone up. Even if he just called the cops, think of the hassle that would be/how much time that would take. People saying Brandon is too nice are completely wrong. That was an extremely calculated and intelligent move.
This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?`
wow ,that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio.
I've come across several positive endorsements of Jenny Pamogas Canaya on various platforms, including RUclips channels, seminars, and more._.
Thanks to these recommendations, I successfully located her online profile and have already reached out to her with a message.
Nothing to stop someone down the street taking that $100 back.
$100 bucks to solve the issue? Excellent move! Nailed it.
I am impressed that you share the good, the bad and the ugly in your videos. Many investors want us to believe they are brilliant and never make costly mistakes while you present life as it really is. Not to discourage us but to help us understand investments. TY
You handled that perfectly glad it didn’t need to end terribly
Brandon stand your ground! Thank God you still can in Ohio
Just evicted my non-paying tenant. Can't wait to turn it and make it shine again for the next renter who is already lined up!
You can't be weak in this situation. If an "intruder affidavit" doesn't work , you have to help yourself. Pain is a tremendous motivator.
No one blackmailed you. They attempted to extort you. And... it worked.
@@petermayberry $100 was definitely better than pissing the person off and then having to go through minimum 30 days (Depending the location) to evict someone. I mean yeah, could have saved $100, but I don't think you should be counting pennies in that situation, it could have gone way worse.
it was an easy ending for both parties. I know for those prideful people its all about the 'principle.' You need to understand that 100$ for that man is a lot, and for the landlord its like giving someone a dollar. It was the easiest solution, and if that comes back for more money its not his property anymore.
i mean sure, but then again after giving him the 100$ he is gonna go pick up a 165k check...
I would gladly take a $100 hit than a potential $165000 hit
I used to work for repo banks 100 bucks is a deal these squatters wish they were dead they want confrontation they are at there bottom in life and they are predatory you are lucky if they will ever leave with out trying to hurt you or burn the place down and the court works for them the cops work for them it’s not some law abiding tenant down on there luck it’s a cave man moving into your cave while your out hunting. I can tell you a dozen times when the cops and the judge sided with the squater even when they were an unregistered sex offender because they despise the law abiding citizens the police see us as weak and the judges see us as fools and they like to hurt us or especially someone who bootstraps them selves up like this guy because they are motivated by jealousy
I would have offered someone else $100 to remove the scumbag before ever giving it any money. He's now incentivised to do it again. Stop rewarding bad behavior, it only ever leads to more bad behavior.
You handled that perfectly. Totally worth it to pay someone with issues $100.00 so you could close the deal and be done with it.
Extortion, not blackmail
In my younger years they would be given the choice of walking out on their own 2 feet. Picked up and bodily thrown out or leaving in an ambulance then told to pick one.
I LOVE squatter kick out videos! Keep em' coming.
Nice vid, man. It’s great exposure for people interested in real estate.
That $100. Dollars is the best money ever spent
You did great!! You were to the point! Said what you needed to say and went about your business. $100 bucks is a lot of money, but it was definitely worth it! Doing it on the spot…right away saying here’s the money and I’ve got people here now to get your stuff out totally did it! No time for them to get upset! Said your peace and went on!
Never negotiate with terrorists
100%
You need to get a dictionary and stop throwing the word terrorist around having absolutely no idea what it means. This person is simply just a dick scammer far from a terrorist.
New video style is great. Doesn't gotta be a crazy story like this, but this format is definitely more interesting. :)
"From the reaches of southern Ohio, to wherever you are"
Me, in southwestern Ohio:
"Oh *HELL* no"
What happened at the end of the video? I literally thought i accidentally hit a new video because of how abruptly it ended. I recommend reediting the last 10 seconds because the rest of the video was absolutely perfect.
Ended a little abruptly for my liking Brandon
The $100 was a clever fix. 👍
Nicely done, don't think that I would work as easily in other states.
Yeah, squatters are a problem all over. Been through that and it isn't pretty. Call the cops and the cops refuse to act, even though it's a trespassing and theft of services problem. They'll tell you it's a civil problem, and you'd better not try to lock the squatters out or turn off the utilities: "You have to go through the formal [i.e., lengthy] judicial eviction process." Well, hell's bells, the squatter has no right to be in the house in the first place: since when does a squatter's "rights" trump my ownership of the damned house?? If it was up to me, I'd kick the squatters out immediately and throw their junk in the street, but then of course I'd be the Bad Guy, right?
No, I agree that you are the good guy. I also think like a good guy. Nothing like a good educational moment to teach someone they messed with the wrong guy.
That’s crazy
I wouldn’t have paid him 1 penny to get out 😂
I could be very wrong, but i'll take an educated guess.
The " squatter " was probably a family member of the former tenant. They probably lived there but were not mentioned on the tenancy agreement and likely had nowhere else to go after the tenant died.
I'd also have questions about the timeframe. My guess is this has all been done in a rushed manner probably giving people very little time to organise.
As I say I could be wrong, but the way he was acting and responding doesn't make him come across like he was out to get you or " blackmail" you.
Bro I read ur previous comment on the laundromat that's bad along with the liquor store. Where they helped the lady who wanted a laundromat, and they got it but u didn't like it.
I liked ur breakdown from finance short term and long term, package 7.5% on equipment bundle, u have lots of knowledge with commercial business?
Do you own any businesses?
My dad has many businesses for sale in New Jersey, so if ur interested by any chance to check them out and purchase it let me know.
From gas stations (branded and unbranded) , convenient stores, restaurants, liquor stores, etc. Plz let me know
Good Job!
Thanks!
MAN You so nice my friend. That guy would had a different ending with me that I wont even type here lol
I would have had him arrested for breaking and entering in obviously see the doors damaged
I get that it only cost you a hundred bucks, but I would have a true" clean out" crew. Sorry, but not sorry. Sometimes, you need to send a message.
hey that abrupt ending sent a chill.
I could be in the minority here, but I miss/prefer your more Main Street low-editing type of videos with you walking through your businesses on a high-level day-to-day snapshot.
You’re far too nice to people who are below cockroach level.
Not really. Cops involved is a court case. Which can be annoying and drives his profit chances to have to wait
@@dougf1249he brought 3 guys with him. grab that skinny tweaker and drag him out. board the place up and call the cops. they aren't gonna be mad you secured your property.
Done this many times. Glad you got out of that scenario safely. You never know.
Crazy! Glad it was that easy! Sometimes it can get bad.
If you buy a piece of real estate that is occupied, the easiest way to get them out, especially if they previously owned the property, is to be nice, and make them a deal: I'll pay you $5k if you 1) allow a quick tour 2)promise not to destroy the place 3) move out by a certain day, maybe 2 months in the future. Just plan on that being a part of the cost of the property and bid accordingly.
Wait, just a $100??!!!??!
WTF😂😂😂😂😂 . How many days did he spend there for $100?!!!
I demand $5.00 or I will tell the world you secretly have a full luxurious head of hair
Here in scioto county they turned homes, nursing homes, a bar, a hotel and a whole dang shoe factory into a drug rehab.
I like the way the video was done with the graphics and such. Didn't care for the abrupt ending, really.
It really sticks in my craw that you had to give someone $100 to leave. How in hell is doing that even legal? It's not their property and they are trespassing. There was a time that if that happened they could either leave under their own power or have the coroner wheel them out feet first. Might be time to bring back the old days.
I don't know I would be able to do that.
I'll be afraid of getting shot LOL
This isn't blackmail.
what is it, Mr. Know it All. I imagine you're a fun person to be around
@@LosingTeeth Squatters. Blackmail is basically threatening someone with incrimination he wasn’t threatened and they didn’t put up a fight either
I'm seeing something that makes 0 sence to me . 40% of comercial property empty and 20% of residencial empty . Homeless have doubled every year . Employers can't find help that meets their expectations .they want perfect people with perfect credit no crimanal arrests regardless of the outcome that Will work for minumum. Realistate prices are still climbing 10% per year . Taxes and comodities are skyrocketing wages are not going up . And this has been a ten year continuence . Sooner or later you would think this bubble has to pop but to my amazement nothing has budged .
Trouble tenants tend to come with new purchases-best to move them out as fast as possible. Your approach works most "carrot" approaches work best when dealing with people still living in reality, not so with people of the spoon rock or pipe.
Wow that's crazy 😧
The B&O was good to you.
Give power to the people turns out to give power to trash people.
I was seriously hoping the monopoly callback would be you handing him monopoly money after he exited.
Great video, but we would really like a steady upload from you.
This is not good, everyone is saying “well $100 is cheap to get rid of him, but the point is NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY SOMEONE TO LEAVE THEIR PROPERTY, and this is setting a precedent for all the other losers to follow…. AND TRUST ME THE PRICE WILL GET HIGHER!! But I don’t blame investors or homebuyers, I BLAME THE LAW MAKERS…. But then you have to ask….. why would lawmakers make it OK for squatters to take over a home? I have a theory….. A lot of big investment groups like Black Rock are buying up real estate, and I believe they want to DO ANYTHING TO DETER the average investor from investing in real estate, to drive prices down….. I bet the police won’t allow anyone to squat in a Black Rock house….but even if they do, Black Rock can take that hit, long enough to drive out the average investors…… I also have this same theory about the way they’re allowing thieves to walk in stores and leave WITH WHATEVER THEY WANT!!! Because they want to drive out brick and mortar businesses, so e-commerce/Jeff Bezos/Amazon can finish taking over the retail space….. us regular folks have become sitting ducks 🦆 in the MASTER PLAN of the rich and powerful…. This is my opinion, but I don’t think I’m far off from what’s really happening in America right now.
Do you assist people in person to start a car wash business?
Did the people who sold you the train depot know that the recovery project was being planned for that site?
This video was more like "the $100 real estate thief".
my community is pretty good, but i do live within a mile of orient and harrisburg which has some spoon kids living there
Anybody notice almost all ads on RUclips are scams? I probably skip over some that are legit just because there is so much trash. The way they allow things like "this heater is destroying the heating industry" and only uses 10% energy of other heaters, makes me disregard or assume all the ads are scams.
That was a skilled way to deescalate the situation. Obviously that wasn't your first rodeo.
i had a person threaten to burn down the house unless i paid them , cops did nothing said it was a civil matter - i paid them 1,000$ to leave me alone.. 100$ seems like you got a good deal -- ( i am in south texas)
That’s crazy
Honestly an impressive feat, just walk in there offer $100 and get them out
I’m not sure they’ll ever get that area cleaned up……
That $100 is a write off.
Chillicothe and Portsmouth are both a hot mess.
Here's a tip. End videos with a clear cut sign off. This video ended so abruptly, I thought something went wrong. It didn't seem like you were done.
Gave $100 to someone to squat and it just so happens they squatted right before the deal closes
Nice way to handle this.
You gave the goons $100 bucks? They are coming back.
The train station was a home for inmates that got out of prison I believe it was a part of the recovery community too second street is a bad area
I understand the need for halfway houses for convicts re-entering what passes for our society. I kind of understand so-called recovery communities (even though they're damned near useless). But no one wants these around: NIMBY and all that. I applaud Brandon's efforts and desire to rebuild the community (while, of course, earning a decent profit), but it's stories like this that lead to redlining entire sections of a village/town/city and letting them rot into the ground.
Go Brandon!
Pull no punches, bring a gun next time. Paying these guys is just encouraging them to continue this behavior at other properties
How
Lawmakers need to nip this. One way is with a mandatory leases being recorded at the country tecorder.
That’s not blackmail he didn’t have anything on you incriminating to use. He was just squatting and at most extorted you but really you could have just had him leave for nothing
I wouldn't have given him a dime, and the police would be right there to give him some free room and board.
Blackmail - Demanding payment or another benefit from someone in return for not revealing compromising or damaging information about them.
Extortion - The practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats.
Let's not confuse the two next time.
How many properties do you help manage? 100+
I own/manage 100, we are not set up legally to manage other people's properties
You weren't blackmailed. You were extorted and you lost.
Should’ve gave him 40
Great video..... Horrible ending. lol. You need a better out-tro or something summarizing the video, or what u hope to gain from the video
Days to weeks of time wasted cost much more than $100
I've seen some of your smaller rentals be affordable for a fast food worker, you are definitely not trying to rip people off.
Lol you offered the money before anything happened
A good video, but "blackmail" is too strong of a term to use in this case. Basically you had a squatter and on your first attempt to get him to leave, it appears that he did without resisting. Offering him $100 was a good gesture. You could have offered him $1000 and still made off like a bandit on that deal. You only had $50k into the train station, right? And you were selling for $165k - You had money to blow. I only aim for 50% profit margin and I'm happy with 40%
Godd narrative composition.
Hi, I sent you an email yesterday, I’m interested in setting up my laundromat can you please help me, thanks. Expecting your response.
If they left with a hundred dollars odds would be they would of left with a police escort also
That was not blackmail, it was extortion.
Not really blackmail, more like the cost of doing business in a slum.
Isnt this an old video?
ستمر يابطل❤
you're far too kind I would have give the took a shotgun not $100
Why would u give him money😭
Click bait, and he got $100. You handled it the best way minus the false video title. Thumbs down for that.
Sorry your nicer than me.
Great video. I find your interactions with society's troglodytes to be highly entertaining.
only in ohio 💀
First
I work in legal, that was amazing they walked with only 100 for squatting and trying to hold an extortion of you.
Rather lucky, good job only wasting 100
You asked for feedback:
Honestly, you come off very privileged and unsympathetic. I know you worked hard for what you have, that’s why your channel comes off so authentic and I appreciate your work. But what also came off as authentic in this video is your attitude toward those in need, specifically the homeless and those in recovery.
Take a note from many of the good charity RUclipsrs out there. You could have made this into a much better ending and outcome rather than sounding as greedy and out of touch as this video made you look.
I do believe you want to help improve your community by providing affordable housing, and I’m happy you are taking on that responsibility, it is admirable. I also beleive you need to do more work on reading about homelessness and about people in recovery, and I think as a community leader you need to do a better job working with local public service organizations that are in the community you serve rather than demonizing them.
Not a great look my man, I hope you work on it. 🫤
