Before placing a bid, we request that our investors do as much investigation on the property as they can. Listed below are our recommendations of additional due diligence that will help to ensure you get the best possible deal.

  • Find out whether the home is occupied or not.
  • Look at the condition of the home from the outside, look in the backyard if you can.
  • If you have access to view the home from inside, do so.
