90+ things to verify before you close — in the order that matters.
The expensive mistakes happen in the items nobody remembered to check.
Due diligence failures are rarely dramatic. They're boring: the unpermitted addition, the municipal lien nobody pulled, the environmental question nobody asked — discovered after closing, when it's your money. This checklist covers 90+ items across 8 sections, each priority-coded so your limited inspection-period time goes to the highest-risk items first. It includes a dedicated municipal-records section — the part of DD most first-time buyers skip entirely.
What's inside
90+ due-diligence items across 8 sections — physical, financial, legal/title, environmental, municipal, tenant/lease, insurance, and closing-readiness.
Priority-coded — every item is ranked so you know what to chase on day 1 versus what can wait until week 3.
Municipal-records section — permits, code violations, liens, zoning compliance, certificate-of-occupancy status — the public-record digging that uncovers deal-killers.
Actionable, not theoretical — each item tells you what to obtain and from whom, not just what to "consider."
Who this is for
First-time buyers who don't know what they don't know — and can't afford a $20,000 lesson.
Experienced investors entering a new market where the local DD traps are unfamiliar.
Agents who want to hand buyers a professional process instead of winging it.

FAQs
"My agent/title company handles DD. Do I still need this?" Your agent and title company check their lane, not yours. Nobody is checking municipal records, environmental history, and tenant estoppels for you unless you ask. This checklist is how you make sure the asking happens.
"Is 90+ items overkill?" Priority coding is the answer. You don't do all 90 on day one — the codes tell you what the top 15 are, and the rest fill in as the inspection period unfolds.
"Is this Florida-specific?" The framework is universal; a municipal-records section applies everywhere. Some references lean Florida, and real-estate laws vary by state — have a local attorney review your DD process for your market.
Closing your first deal? The Buyer's Pack ($97) bundles this checklist with the closing checklist and LOI template — the three tools first-time buyers reach for most.
