I Don't Want to Find Out If I Dodged a Bullet
In this excerpt, Speaker A explains how they evaluate prospective property‑owner clients for a property‑management business. The vetting process focuses on three core criteria: emotional stability, financial stability, and trust in the onboarding process. The speaker assesses these qualities through subtle cues and stories shared during conversations. An illustrative anecdote is provided: a potential client had worked with four different property‑management firms and had sued two of the last four. Interpreting this as a red flag, the speaker decided the client was not a good fit, politely declined to work together, and reflected that they may have "dodged a bullet" but prefer not to discover the consequences. The overall tone is conversational and cautious, emphasizing risk avoidance in client selection.
