Everyone here spends a lot of time on due diligence and analyzing deals etc etc when buying property.

Please Please Please DO YOUR DILIGENCE.

I find it particularly difficult when doing due diligence with properties without addresses (lots) to know if I am actually looking at the correct property when I am physically visiting the property.  

Hi Jerry, When we bought are facility, we did extensive due diligence to mitigate risk and were relatively certain we would turn it around.  

This is something you can check during your due diligence period. 

So if you think you're doing your due diligence as a buyer and see the taxes are "only 900, or 1400" and you think: great these numbers work for me!

Be extra diligent up front on the screen and you should be fine.  

Part of my up front due diligence that I did not do well was ask the city if permits had been completed.

However, you should never take what they say for face value, ALWAYS do your own due diligence.

I love the HELOC, as you can see, but it must be used correctly and diligently.
