In this April Fools (but seriously though) edition of Shut the FRONT Door, Scott and Johnny pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood corners of real estate: foreclosures.

From Johnny's legendary April pranks gone suspiciously quiet this year and then to the myth of snagging a “killer deal,” the guys break down why buying a foreclosure isn’t always the goldmine it’s hyped up to be. You'll hear real stories, brutal truths, and those frustrating, faceless asset managers in Utah who really don’t care about your leaking roof.

We’re talking:

• Why “foreclosure” doesn’t always equal “deal”
• How banks and government loans complicate everything
• Common first-time buyer mistakes
• Why experienced investors don’t chase the F-word (FORECSLOSURE... Get your minds out of the gutter)
• And yep… ChatGPT gets called out.

Whether you’re an investor, a curious first-timer, or just here for the banter, this episode is loaded with insight, laughs, and some hard-earned real estate wisdom.

🎧 Tune in and learn why your best deal might not be a foreclosure—and what to look for instead.
