Due Diligence

What It Does

Due Diligence helps you evaluate new communities before adding them to your portfolio. Analyze financial health, legal risks, maintenance backlogs, and compliance status so you know what you are getting into.

Who It's For

Property Management Companies using LotWize to manage HOA portfolios.

How to Use It

Step 1: Start a Due Diligence Report

Click "Due Diligence" in the sidebar, then "New Report." Enter the community name and the data you have access to.

Step 2: Fill the Checklist

The system walks you through categories: Financials, Legal, Maintenance, Compliance, and Operations. Upload documents, enter numbers, and answer questions as you go.

Step 3: Read the Risk Score

When the checklist is complete, LotWize generates a risk score from 1 to 100. High scores mean higher risk. The report highlights the biggest concerns and what it would cost to fix them.

Common Issues

Q: What if I do not have all the documents? A: Fill in what you have. The report works with partial data and flags the missing items as "Unknown Risk."

Q: Can I compare multiple acquisition targets? A: Yes. Run a separate report for each community, then use the Compare view to see them side by side.

Pro Tips

• Always request three years of financials from the seller — one year is not enough to spot trends.
• Use the Due Diligence report in your pricing negotiation. It proves the value of your offer or warns you to walk away.
