Real Estate Due Diligence Checklist

Ensure thorough property evaluation with our comprehensive due diligence checklist

This is a helpful cheatsheet for investors seeking a deeper dive into property evaluation - not a requirement from Insource Funding but a resource we provide to help you make informed decisions.

Key Areas of Due Diligence

  • Hire a licensed home or building inspector
  • Review structural integrity (foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC)
  • Confirm square footage and layout matches legal records
  • Assess deferred maintenance or capital improvement needs
  • Document any visible damage or code violations
  • Inspect major systems (fire, sprinkler, elevator if applicable)
Comprehensive 2-page professional checklist

Note: This due diligence checklist is provided as a courtesy resource for real estate investors. While comprehensive due diligence is always recommended when evaluating investment properties, Insource Funding does not require all these items for loan approval. This is simply a helpful guide for investors who want to conduct a thorough property assessment.
