Five Additional Steps of Due Diligence When Buying a Rental Property
2008-04-18 15:17:00 Due diligence is a term used for a number of concepts involving either the performance of an investigation of a business or person, or the performance of an act with a certain standard of care. It can be a legal obligation, but the term will more commonly apply to voluntary investigations. A common example of due diligence in various industries is, the process through which a potential acquirer evaluates a target company or its assets for acquisition. ? From Wikipedia It is important to not only know what due diligence is, but how everyday investors make it work in their favor when buying a home. Proper homework can not only eliminate some of the risk when buying, but it can also lead to a better return on your real estate investment. An article is not enough to outline the various forms of due diligence one could perform on a real estate transaction. However, here are five simple but important steps to take when buying a rental or investment property: Neighborhood - Once you have...
Due Diligence in our sales contract. What is it?
2008-03-31 05:50:00 On Sunday I discussed an offer with a client and was explaining the due diligence clause in our Georgia sales contract. Simply put, the due diligence clause is a "no questions asked I want out clause", or some peole say a "14 day test drive". Yep, thats right. Anytime during this period a buyer can simply say "I don't want it" and walk away. The seller has no recourse. Of course the seller can take back up contracts on the property in case the buyer decides to opt out of purchasing. An example would be. Mr Jones makes an offer on 123 Anywhere street. In the offer he has a 14 days for his due diligence. So, Mr. Jones has 14 days to do all his inspections, check for termites, get his financing, and basically decide if he wants to buy the home or not. During this "due diligence" he can request repairs if he finds anything that he feels needs correcting. Or if he is not happy with the home, he can just walk away. But come the 15th day, all...
Tucson Real Estate Due Diligence
2008-03-18 04:54:00 Due Diligence just got a little easier for those checking out a Tucson real estate property. One of the things every prospective Tucson home buyer should do during the inspection period is to check with the governing authority on building permits, setbacks, floodplain status, assessments, etc. This used to mean part of a day spent down at the various city or county offices checking things out. Now the city of Tucson has pulled a lot of the data you would want to be knowledgeable about into a single web site location. Tucson Property Search Online Tucson property search online aka PRO is available to the public at Tucson Property Search Online.

Why is That Circus Tent in Your Yard?
2008-02-14 17:18:00 If you are relocating to the Carlsbad, California area, or elsewhere in Southern California, you may see an occasional "circus tent" over a house in the neighborhood as you are driving around. As a buyer of Carlsbad real estate, you should know about this and what it means. Termites are a common problem here and inspections for termite infestation and dealing with getting rid of these critters is a part of most real estate transactions involving residential property. How this is handled by the buyer and seller is subject to negotiation, but there are some common practices. You can read my recent post on termites on my Carlsbad Homes and Real Estate Tidbits blog. ************************** If I can provide more information about this community or the housing market in general, or otherwise assist you in your homes search, please contact me by phone or text at (760) 840-1360 or email me at JDowler@remax.net.

Due Diligence
2007-10-06 21:55:00 Never invest in anything because it sounds good. Do your Due Diligence first. Due Diligence (DD) is the process where an investor investigates the attractiveness of an opportunity and assesses the quality of the management team and the key risks associated with the investment. It is the best method of verifying the validity of a particular situation or opportunity. It helps to discover everything about the investment before investing your money. Due diligence is probably the most critical stage of investing. It is a complete examination and evaluation of the investment situation. The DD process should begin the moment an opportunity becomes of interest to you. Your goal is to make certain that you uncover every potential and pitfall of the opportunity before you invest. The Internet is a great tool that can help you to investigate.Consider researching all of the following that apply:Check WHOIS information: Domain registration data of a company?s website.

Buyers - You Need to Verify the Information
2007-09-04 15:55:00 I have talked a lot about the home buying process, and in particular about due diligence. The reason is that "buyers beware" is really something to keep in mind when making your most important and most expensive purchase. Just as with buying a car, a computer, or other products, you want to make sure that you are buying what is being represented, and not something else. The problem is that a home is a much more complicated acquisition, and consumers vary so much in terms of what they want and are willing to accept. Doing your due diligence - checking on all the issues that matter to you, verifying information and reviewing disclosures - is critical and something you MUST NOT take lightly. Certainly this can also involve having your BUYER AGENT check on things for you with the listing agent/seller. But don't skimp on this. You might find that what you thought you are getting is not that at all. And after you have completed the transaction it is too late. Here's an example. I am wor...

Korea, Fake Degrees, Confucius, Due Diligence, And China Too
2007-08-29 22:45:00 Big scandal going on in Korea right now where many leading public figures are being forced to come clean for having lied about their degrees. Korea Law Blog just did a post, entitled, "More on the Fake Degree Scandal," explaining why this is happening and what employers should be doing about it. Just substitute Chinese for Korean and China for Korea and it applies to China. KLB starts out describing the problem: Fakes are endemic in Korean corporations, says the International Herald-Tribune yesterday. And we’re not talking about fake handbags—society is grappling with the problem of fake people who claim degrees they don’t have. How do all these fakes get themselves hired? And why do Korean employers emphasize the degree to such an extent? According to the IHT, it’s because employment background checks are useless: Although some companies conduct their own aptitude tests to detect the best job candidates, the dependence on academic degrees persists. The post goes...

Mold Information Series (Guest Blogger - Part 3)
2007-08-21 00:53:00 In my last post, I wrote in detail about the ins and outs of performing a mold inspection (Part 2). Within that post, I briefly mentioned sampling as a means to identify conditions that may further warrant evaluation and ultimately the determination of whether or not to perform mold remediation. (Part 1 - What is Mold) Upon completion of the visual survey / inspection, a mold inspector will sit down with his/her client and discuss the findings of the visual inspection. Suspect areas that have been documented are then recommended for sampling. The purpose of collecting samples is to determine whether a suspected stain, blemish, discoloration or other water damaged area is identified, by laboratory analysis, as mold growth. There are two primary methods of sampling used by an inspector; surface and air sampling. Samples are recommended based on observations made during the visual inspection. When the inspector observes visible mold, he/she will recommend surfa...
