Due Diligence Checklist

14 steps covering ARV research, inspections, environmental checks, and deal analysis before you buy.

How the Due Diligence Checklist Works

Select a flip property and work through 14 pre-purchase analysis steps. Each item includes expert tips so you know exactly what to look for and why it matters.

  • Research comparable sales and determine after-repair value (ARV)
  • Inspect foundation, roof, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems
  • Check for liens, zoning issues, and environmental hazards
  • Run complete deal analysis with purchase price, rehab costs, and ARV

Why This Matters

Due diligence is where profitable flips are made or lost. Skipping a single step — like checking for liens or environmental hazards — can turn a profitable deal into a money pit.

  • Catch costly issues before you close (lead paint, asbestos, foundation cracks)
  • Verify your ARV with real comparable sales data
  • Confirm financing terms and run deal numbers before committing
