Always have a physical due diligence report done BEFORE you buy the property. Make sure that you understand the rental submarket and the tenant demographics. Rely upon the information from a qualified property management company that operates in the same submarket. Don’t over improve the asset too much for the submarket; if the market doesn’t recognize the improvement (pay you more rent) you could have thrown good money after a bad idea.

Upfront physical due diligence is critical when purchasing any apartment building. Have your engineer/ general contractor review all components to the apartment. Not reviewing deficiencies with your electrical, plumbing and sewer, foundation and roof can be the iceberg that sinks the investor’s ship.
