Due Diligence Checklist

You should print this out and spend an hour or two reviewing it

The entire course, video, textbook, documents follow this checklist. It is pretty good, but keep in mind that the authors don't even know anywhere near close to all the Due Diligence that you should do for any particular property you buy. Real Estate is Buyer Beware and while the checklist covers many of the most common issues, you need to also talk to the other professionals involved in your purchase for additional due diligence tasks, procedures, analysis, etc. you should do.

Note: There is no risk free real estate, you can never mitigate all risks....hopefully any issues that occur with the properties you buy will be small and not too expensive....but there will be issues!
