  • Calling the planning department can help determine if anything is planned that will positively or negatively affect the property.
  • You should never rely on anyone (Seller/Broker/etc) when doing your due diligence; you need to find this information yourself.
  • Whenever you are dealing with a bureaucracy (planning, zoning, building department, assessor’s office, treasury), always ask for confirmation in writing.

  • Go to the building department and ask for recurring violations to find out if there will be any hidden repairs that the property may need.
  • How asking current contractors working on the property can give you information.
  • Also asking contractors that have not worked on the property can help with due diligence.
  • Why you should never pay a contractor an advance.
  • When walking a property and the owner is not allowing you to see a unit, just assume that you need to completely renovate that whole unit.
  • Why you should test everything in a unit as much as possible.
  • Why you should not skip out on getting a phase 1 environmental.
