Due Diligence Checklist
The professional due diligence system used to de-risk every property before clos
One missed item in due diligence can cost you more than the property earns in 5 years. This is the complete,
ordered checklist used by professional investors to verify every claim a seller makes — physical condition,
financials, leases, title, zoning, and market reality — before you commit a single dollar.
What's inside:
• The full pre-offer due diligence sequence (do this BEFORE you write the offer)
• Physical inspection checklist — 120+ items, organized room by room
• Financial verification: rent rolls, T-12s, expense scrubs, utility audits
• Lease and tenant review — the 9 clauses that quietly kill deals
• Title, survey, zoning, and easement red flags
• Market verification: comps, rent comps, days-on-market sanity checks
• The 'walk-away' table — when to kill a deal vs. renegotiate
Who this is for:
• Any investor under contract or about to be
• Buyers who've been burned by surprises after closing
• Anyone buying property without a buyer's agent
Who this is NOT for:
• Investors who outsource 100% to third-party inspectors and trust blindly
