Episode notes

When a client’s due diligence on a prime 10-story waterfront hotel on the Capricorn Coast reveals levitating sofas, cellular abductions, and 1982 Poltergeist-style horrors, standard buyers panic. A.S. Burkhardt smells blood in the water.

In this chapter of The Paranormal Practice Manual, we dive into the high-stakes world of commercial conveyancing disclosures, material latent defects, and aggressive contractual leverage. Learn why you shouldn't run from a possessed site—you use your absolute discretion due diligence clause as a loaded gun aimed at the vendor to slice millions off the purchase price and force them to hire a Vatican-backed exorcism squad out of Brisbane before settlement.

Key Topics Covered:

Material Latent Defects: Identifying spectral activity during due diligence inspections. ...
