In this instructional segment, Jake Burhans emphasizes that one of the first due‑diligence actions on an attractive real‑estate deal is to obtain the property’s tax card. He explains that the tax card can be accessed through online GIS resources such as Axis GIS or Vision Government Solutions/Vision Appraisals. By reviewing the tax card, investors can verify the seller’s statements about the property—particularly critical details like the number of units in a multifamily building, which can dramatically affect the deal’s value. The segment serves as a practical reminder to use public tax records to confirm key property attributes before proceeding.
