FREE Rental Property Red Flag Checklist

Before you buy a rental property, slow down and look for the things that can turn a good-looking deal into an expensive lesson.

This free checklist walks you through 15 rental property red flags, with a practical Quick Tip for each one.

Use it to take a closer look at:

• Rent assumptions and deal margins

• Rehab costs and major systems

• Property management and tenant issues

• Turnover and deferred maintenance

• Reserves and your backup plan

• Sewer, water and neighborhood concerns

• Due diligence and the numbers behind the deal

A red flag doesn't always mean “don't buy.” It means “don't ignore it.”
