— Free Checklist · Rental Property Due Diligence

Agents sell properties. They won't tell you whether the neighborhood will actually make you money. That's what this checklist is for.

The GOLDDEN Rules are the 25 questions I work through before I buy a rental property. I own 52 rental units in Texas, Florida, California, Alberta and Saskatchewan, and these seven rules are how I judge what really drives rental returns: the location.

Growth · Owners vs. Renters · Location Risk · Demographics · Demand / Supply · Easy Access to Amenities · New

Every rule explains why it matters and exactly where to find the data. You also get a scorecard to rate each factor and a guide to getting a sourced first draft with AI. Download it free and run your next property through it before you make an offer.
