Client Deal ExamplesBuilt on referrals
Closed three short-term rentals in eight months. Chad's team pre-screens the deals, so I only write offers on properties that already pencil — no more wasted weekends chasing numbers that don't work.
As a self-employed buyer, I'd been turned down three times before. The Chad Baker Team underwrote my actual income, not just a W-2 box. Closed in 24 days.
Scout is unlike anything else I've used. Real-time DSCR ratios on every listing means I stop wasting time on properties that don't pencil. I won't shop without it.
