Peer 2 Peer Real Estate's Podcast

On today’s show I wanted to talk about due diligence before investing in a property. My due diligence consists of mostly websites, and a couple of calls I make I can’t go into a investment without knowing a few things about the property, but before I do that I begin with the following.SearchingUsually it’s realtor.com, Zillow or on occasion craigslist, or if I’m registered with a realtor some of them send me properties.Once I find a investment property I’m interested in, I’ll go to Zillow and check out the county website, and see who is the owner of the property. Sometimes it might be a absentee homeowner who happens to live out of state or the property could have been taken back by the lender. On the same county site I will check out the yearly property taxes, and for insurance you can call geico, state farm, nationwide, etc. and get a quote .Next I go to trulia heat map and check out the crime in the area I’m interested in. I also might check out spotcrime.com or crimereports.c
