In this week's episode of the "Live Life by Design" podcast, our hosts dive into the crucial topic of due diligence in real estate investing. They emphasize that success in this field isn't about luck, but rather thorough research and hard work. Our hosts discuss various aspects of due diligence, from verifying property ownership to assessing property values and obtaining reliable contractor bids.
One of the key points our hosts highlight is the importance of confirming that you're dealing with the actual property owner before entering any agreements. They share stories illustrating why this step is critical, not just for investors but also for contractors. Another discussion point are strategies for finding comparable properties when traditional methods fall short, suggesting reaching out to experienced local real estate agents for insights.
Sarah shares a personal anecdote about partners who rush the process, potentially overlooking crucial details that could lead to significant problems down the line. The team stresses the importance of taking the time to do proper research, even if it means moving slower than some might prefer.
Our hosts also advise to treat every property as if your own family would live there, ensuring all repairs and improvements are done to a high standard. Warning against cutting corners, noting that subpar work often leads to higher costs and headaches in the long run, especially for rental properties.
Wrapping up the episode our hosts urge listeners to thoroughly examine loan documents, check for potential foreclosures or balloon payments, and understand all financial obligations associated with a property. They conclude by encouraging new investors to ask questions, seek guidance from experienced mentors, and never skip steps in the due diligence process.
