Due Diligence
Master the research and analysis process — from collateral review and title search to property valuation and borrower profiling — before you fund a deal.
Due Diligence is the discipline that separates investors from speculators. The course walks through all four tracks: collateral valuation via BPO or AVM, borrower scrub via PACER and credit reports, title search and chain of title verification, and loan-document audit.
You learn the seven need-to-have fields on any data tape that gate every bid, how to spot a broken chain of title, and the red flags that should kill a deal before you spend due-diligence dollars on it. Tools, templates, and checklists included.
