Access to Occupied Property?

Jason Timmerman

Posted

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has purchased an occupied property and if so, how do you gain access to the property to inspect the premises during the due diligence period? I am confident in the ARV numbers and the market, but without seeing the interior, I can't really estimate the renovation cost and I want to get in there or I'm going to back out.

Jason Timmerman I always assume the worst. If the seller won't cooperate, I typically walk away. That said, If your budget supports absolute worst case scenario it may be worth taking a punt on the deal.
