#89: Summer is fast approaching, and that’s traditionally when home-buying season ramps up.

This week, I share insights on how to conduct due diligence when you’re looking to buy a home. Whether you’re buying a primary residence or investing in rental real estate, rigorous due diligence is critical to ensuring you get a good property at a reasonable price. In this episode, I explain my entire process for thoroughly analyzing a property before writing an offer.

You learn:

  • 10 key things to look for when doing pre-tour due diligence
  • The 4 big things to look for in disclosure packets
  • How to evaluate the history of previous remodels, structural changes, or additions to the house done by prior owners
  • Special tips for buying a condo – how to analyze HOA records, financials, rules, and CC&Rs
  • My 12-point checklist on what to look for when touring a home in person
