Emory University: What is the minimum property-level diligence boundary before underwriting?

DIRECT ANSWER

Original source record: October 5, 2026. Source review: October 17, 2026. Only parcel-assessment component is directly supported; rest is editorial due-diligence checklist, not a county legal minimum or verified completion. Follow the linked primary sources for current eligibility, availability and terms; no individual or property-specific determination is made.

As a practical due-diligence checklist, verify parcel identity, assessments, jurisdiction, zoning and overlays, title, physical condition, taxes, insurance, lease rules, and observed comparable rents before underwriting. DeKalb's official parcel and zoning resources address only part of that work; this checklist does not establish a legal minimum or confirm that a property is rentable.
