Included in Workbook →How to use them
Check an Item Only After You Verify It
A checkbox should represent completed research—not an assumption. Use leases, financial records, official property records, inspections, written bids, lender documents, insurance quotes, and current agency guidance. Record unresolved issues and assign each one a responsible person and deadline.
These resources improve organization but do not replace qualified inspectors, contractors, attorneys, accountants, lenders, insurance professionals, appraisers, engineers, environmental professionals, or municipal agencies.
