Keep the evidence.
Find the open questions.

A working notebook for one property. Record what you have, what is still an estimate, and the next question to resolve.

Your assessment, not StackX verification. “Documented” means you have supporting material to review. It does not establish accuracy, suitability, permitted use, or that a property is ready to buy.

Rent & income

Separate documented collections from an assumption about future rent.

Leases and rent actually collectedMissing

Gather leases, a current rent roll, payment history, deposits, concessions, and utility responsibilities. Record the difference between scheduled and collected rent.

A link and a “Documented” label do not validate the source. Review the material and its applicability.

Current rental comparablesMissing

Compare location, size, condition, terms, concessions, and evidence date. An advertised rent is not proof of a signed lease; city medians are not property rent estimates.

A link and a “Documented” label do not validate the source. Review the material and its applicability.

Expenses & reserves

Identify the ongoing bills and the larger costs that arrive less often.

Property taxes and assessmentsMissing

Inspect the property record and current bill. Ask the local taxing authority what could change after purchase or planned work; keep any assumptions visible.

A link and a “Documented” label do not validate the source. Review the material and its applicability.

Insurance for the intended useMissing

Obtain a property-specific quote. Record premiums, deductibles, exclusions, coverage period, and any unanswered questions about the proposed rental use.

A link and a “Documented” label do not validate the source. Review the material and its applicability.

Operating costs and replacement reservesMissing

Gather utilities, management, association fees, maintenance history, and other recurring costs. Separate major replacements from routine repairs and avoid counting a cost twice.

A link and a “Documented” label do not validate the source. Review the material and its applicability.

Financing & cash

Understand the full cash commitment and the actual borrowing terms.

Loan terms and future payment changesMissing

Record principal, interest, fees, amortization, maturity, rate adjustments, guarantees, and any balloon payment. Keep a proposed refinance separate from confirmed financing.

A link and a “Documented” label do not validate the source. Review the material and its applicability.

Cash needed before rent beginsMissing

List the down payment, closing costs, immediate work, financing fees, holding costs, and cash kept in reserve. Note when each payment is due.

A link and a “Documented” label do not validate the source. Review the material and its applicability.

Condition & repairs

Connect the physical findings to a budget and a realistic schedule.

Inspection and major building systemsMissing

Arrange an appropriate inspection. Record findings about the roof, structure, mechanical systems, plumbing, electrical systems, and any specialist follow-up recommended.

A link and a “Documented” label do not validate the source. Review the material and its applicability.

Repair scope, quotes, and timingMissing

Connect the inspection findings to written scopes and estimates. Identify permit questions, contingencies, lead times, and any period when the property cannot earn rent.

A link and a “Documented” label do not validate the source. Review the material and its applicability.

Local records & intended use

Take property-specific questions to the relevant records and professionals.

Intended use and unit configurationMissing

Ask the relevant local authority about the intended rental use, unit count, occupancy, and required approvals. A listing description does not establish what is permitted.

A link and a “Documented” label do not validate the source. Review the material and its applicability.

Title, access, and association recordsMissing

Review available title, easement, access, and association information with the appropriate professional. Record restrictions, charges, open questions, and missing documents.

A link and a “Documented” label do not validate the source. Review the material and its applicability.

Hazards, utilities, and site recordsMissing

Consult property-specific flood and local site records, utility information, and relevant professionals. A regional hazard layer or an absence of mapped risk does not establish site suitability.
