You find a real estate property you like, you sign it, you wrap up the deal under LOI, sign the purchase agreement, and then you get into diligence — which is what we’re going to be talking about on today’s show.
Diligence is that 30-60 day period after you sign the purchase agreement and before you get into the official closing documents. In this episode, we highlight everything that happens during that period, such as; the title, zoning analysis, building permits, surveying the property, environmental analysis, the appraisal, deeper market research, property condition report, financial due diligence, and the lease review.
This is real estate due diligence 101!
