In this short, Catherine Bell and two other speakers discuss the process of sourcing investment deals using a tool called Deal Hunter. Catherine asks whether any deals have met the “40% criteria,” a benchmark they use to evaluate potential acquisitions. The participants note that, so far, no deals—specifically car wash opportunities—have satisfied this threshold. They also explore what constitutes a good deal, a break‑even deal, and a negative deal, prompting the need to define standard metrics for each category within the Deal Hunter workflow.

So yeah, so I'm super happy that you, um, got that. So did you find any deals that met the 40% criteria?
Oh, I don't know if it's the 40% criteria. Okay, so let's go through it. Yeah, let me go there. This is all training, right?
Yeah. See, I thought you were gonna source— I thought you were gonna use Deal Hunter to find some deals, Catherine.
Yeah, I have it sorting through on mine. And so far we haven't found any that meet the 40% criteria yet.
For car washes? Yeah. Well, ask— then ask it, what is the standard? What is a good deal? What is a break-even deal? And what is a negative deal?
Okay.
