Focused on substance over soundbites, Q-Point welcomes different perspectives and gives guests room to explain their positions, experiences, and priorities. The goal is to inform listeners, ask direct questions, and encourage thoughtful discussion. Guests’ views are their own.

🎙️ Q-Point Podcast | Mark LaVerdiere — Part Two
“I Would Rather Lose a Deal Than Pick Up a Bad Deal”
In Part Two of Q-Point Podcast, attorney and business owner Mark LaVerdiere of Apex Business Law continues a practical conversation on what investors need to understand before committing capital to real estate.
LaVerdiere discusses why investors must look beyond listing numbers, plan for rising expenses and reassessments, and structure deals with enough margin to absorb regulatory changes and market shifts. He also explains the importance of negotiating financing terms carefully, avoiding costly prepayment penalties, and using LLCs, leases, and property management correctly to reduce risk and protect assets.
A central theme of the discussion is financial discipline, emphasizing that walking away from the wrong deal is often preferable to taking on an investment that fails to meet core metrics.
