They are able to rent property that is lower income housing, because otherwise the property would be vacant, or better housing where the landlord hasn’t completed a thorough due diligence either because the landlord left the due diligence to the leasing broker, or doesn’t know how to go beyond a $15 “tenant report”. or the property is sitting vacant and the landlord decides to “take a chance”.  

You can also find a lot of wholesalers on FB groups but as always it's important to do your due diligence. 

I am puzzled how people were able to complete proper due diligence that quickly.  

You Open Escrow, deposit your Earnest Money Deposit and your due diligence period starts (unless otherwise written into the contract). 

I spent the last almost 3 years doing my due diligence learning the lay of the land.

We are taught to defer to the City zoning departments and to direct buyers to that department for their own due diligence. 

I want to also do my due diligence.

After doing this due diligence, I would confirm with the city first, appreciate the help!

My clients are mainly real estate developers, PE funds and individual investors doing syndications and my core skill is in real estate valuation / due diligence across real estate asset classes. 

@Katie Accashian it sounds like you're doing your due diligence, which is great.
