Module 5: Due Diligence Deep Dive
Hey, it’s Seth - I toured 53 duplexes to buy my first one.
Most people quit after 5. The ones who actually own? They hit 50.
This lesson is the difference between “still looking” and “here are the keys.”
VOLUME WINS — THE MATH THAT HITS HARD
5 tours → 0 offers → 0% win rate → Still renting
20 tours → 1–2 offers → 5–10% win rate → Maybe someday
50 tours → 4–6 offers → 1 screaming winner → You own the duplex
You already have every tool:
Your Deal Analyzer & Buy Box (Module 4.1 & 4.3)
Your in-person tour checklist (Module 5.1)
Your rent-roll email script (Module 5.2)
Now it’s just reps.
50 tours = 45 instant “hell no’s” + 5 maybes + 1 screaming yes.
That’s how real investors buy — not just by being smarter, by also by doing more reps.
YOUR HOMEWORK — THE 50-IN-50 CHALLENGE
Schedule 5 tours this week (Zillow + your realtor)
Use the In-Person Tour Checklist on every single one
Request rent roll + utilities on anything that survives the tour
Track it simple: open your phone notes → “Tour # __ / 50”
Hit 50 → you’re buying.
ACTION #3 — START RIGHT NOW
Open Zillow → message 5 listings for tours
Text your realtor: “Send me 5 duplexes to tour this week”
DISCLAIMER
Due diligence reduces risk but never eliminates it. Bad tenants and surprise repairs still happen. Always hire a professional inspector.
Zero tours = zero duplex.
Volume wins.
