In this concise YouTube short, the speaker warns real‑estate investors—especially those acting as a PML (principal‑member‑limited) or similar—to ensure they are named as an additional insured on any property insurance. Without that designation, a catastrophic loss (e.g., fire) leaves them financially exposed. The speaker then explains how title companies issue title searches with conditions, and stresses the need to review and enforce those title commitments. Specifically, investors should require the seller to pay off all encumbrances before closing and verify that the counterparties actually have the cash to complete the transaction. The overall message is a practical, caution‑driven checklist to protect a real‑estate deal from disaster.

Are you a land shark doing deals? You know, if you're a PML and your person has insurance on the property, but you're not named as an additional insured, if that thing burns to the ground, you're stuck holding the bag because you, you weren't insured and they can run with that money. When the title company runs the title search, they will come back with conditions to make this a clean title, and you need to be able to have, have them give that to you so you can look and say, I'm gonna require you to pay off this, this, and this before we'll move. So you gotta be able to understand those title commitments with the conditions and be able to read those and execute on how you wanna know if these people are doing all these deals, do you have any money in the bank?
