This page is part of your private Shortlist learning library. It shows you how to evaluate properties using the same process we apply for every client purchase.
The Goal
Before any inspection, every property needs a complete due diligence review.
This is where we separate strong opportunities from costly distractions.
The 8-Hour Due Diligence Process gives you the structure to review any property confidently, even from afar. It combines data, documents, and visual checks to highlight red flags early, saving you time and stress later.
By the end of this step, you’ll know how to identify walk-away risks before spending a single dollar on travel or inspections.
Pro Tip: Doing this process eliminates about 80 percent of wasted inspections and reveals most deal-breaking issues early.

In this exclusive interview, I sit down with Ana Percic, my trusted legal partner for over a decade, to discuss the special conditions we’ve designed for remote purchasers. These clauses provide an exceptional level of protection, well beyond standard contract terms. We also cover the top three things remote buyers must be aware of to safeguard themselves and make confident decisions from overseas.
