In this short, the speaker recounts a recent virtual building tour with Katya and highlights how defensive or evasive answers to routine questions signal major red flags in business deals. When a counterpart becomes reluctant or offers vague excuses—such as claiming “hoops and loops” to obtain a simple appraisal—it suggests hidden issues, and the speaker advises that the safest response is to walk away from the deal.

We went and had a virtual visit with Katya to a building over the weekend, and we learned what red flags look like and how significant, you know, when you ask somebody a question, when they become defensive, it's just easier to probably walk out of the building, right? So when you ask somebody for an appraisal and they're like, "Oh, I don't know, there's a bunch of hoops and scoops you got to jump through to get something that should be simple," that's a red flag. Yeah.
