Property diligence checklist
Define the decision before choosing a property
Start with who will use the property, the expected hold period, budget, timing and the fallback plan. Emory housing decisions should be tested against the household's actual plan rather than a generic campus assumption.
Review the evidence
Compare exact properties and routes
Use current property documents, total monthly costs, the exact route to campus and the specific rules that apply to each address. Neighborhood labels are useful for narrowing the search, not for replacing address-level diligence.
Review the checklist
Verify facts with the source that owns them
Neil can coordinate the real-estate side of the decision. School policy, financing, tax, legal, insurance, HOA and transit questions should be confirmed with the responsible current source before the family relies on them.
