In this YouTube short, Tommy Dobczyk examines a real‑estate investment scenario where a $4 million property is projected to generate a net profit of $400‑$500 k. He points out that under the current agreement, investors would receive only $96 k per year—less than 1 % of the total investment—highlighting a stark mismatch between the projected profits and the actual investor return. Dobczyk suggests this low return would alarm investors and trigger concerns from platforms like Deal Hunter, which monitor deals for compliance with the “under‑1 % rule.”

Are you in the deal room? From there, and the first number I'm going to look at is the projected net profit of $400,000, you know, $450,000, $500,000. So on a $4 million property making that amount, the numbers start getting tricky in my head. So, but we can keep going through, and that's probably why, why Deal Hunter's going, wait a minute, what's going on? So under the current agreement, they're saying that the investors will get $96,000 total a year. That's under 1% of the total investment. Right. So that'll throw them off right there because they won't touch anything under the 1% rule.
