Hong’s acquisition services include identifying properties, reviewing value and risk, coordinating due diligence and negotiating through closing. Start with the questions below; the scope of work depends on the property and your plans.
Define the search
Decide what you want the property to do for you before comparing individual listings.
- Preferred city or area, and residential, commercial or multifamily use.
- Approximate budget range, intended use and purchase timeline.
- Whether you can visit in person or need remote viewing and document coordination.
Review the available information
Separate documented facts from assumptions and identify what needs further investigation.
- Ask for available property details, comparable sales and condition information.
- For an occupied investment property, request available leases, rent rolls and operating records.
- List questions about repairs, occupancy, ongoing costs and any missing documents.
Coordinate due diligence and closing
Discuss the offer and negotiation strategy, then organize the inspections, professional input and transaction deadlines that apply.
- Confirm which questions need an inspector, lender or other qualified professional.
- Agree on a communication plan, especially if you are purchasing from another state.
- Track open questions and required documents before moving to closing.
For the first conversation
