What to Include When You Submit a Real Estate Opportunity

A real estate opportunity becomes easier to evaluate when the submission clearly identifies the property, the parties, the pricing, the condition, and the requested outcome. Missing or unclear information does not automatically make an opportunity unworkable, but it can delay the first useful decision.

1. Identify the property precisely

Provide the complete address, property type, approximate size, parcel or legal description if available, occupancy, access instructions, utilities, zoning or use questions, and any other location details that affect the transaction. Do not rely on a street address alone when multiple parcels or units may be involved.

2. Explain your relationship to the opportunity

State whether you are the owner, prospective buyer, contract holder, licensed broker, wholesaler, lender, attorney, personal representative, property manager, investor, or another party. Identify the decision-makers and whether anyone else must approve a sale, assignment, access, payoff, or closing.

3. Present the price and obligations

• Asking price, target proceeds, or proposed purchase price.
• How the price was established and any recent appraisal or broker opinion.
• Known mortgages, liens, taxes, judgments, assessments, leases, or payoff requirements.
• Earnest money, assignment, option, extension, or other contractual obligations.
• Expected closing costs, commissions, repairs, concessions, or relocation needs.

4. Describe condition and access honestly

Summarize the roof, structure, foundation, mechanical systems, electrical, plumbing, water intrusion, environmental concerns, deferred maintenance, code matters, and known damage. Photos are helpful, but they do not replace a professional inspection. HUD emphasizes that an appraisal is not a home inspection and that buyers should understand physical condition before making a financial commitment.

5. Disclose occupancy and possession

Identify whether the property is vacant, owner-occupied, tenant-occupied, inherited, under renovation, or subject to another possession arrangement. Provide lease dates, rent, deposits, notices, access restrictions, and relocation expectations when applicable and legally appropriate.

6. State the timeline and desired outcome

Explain why timing matters, the earliest practical access date, contract deadlines, title or probate issues, scheduled sales or foreclosure concerns, desired closing date, and whether flexibility exists. Avoid describing a deadline as firm unless every required party and document can support it.

7. Organize supporting documents

Depending on the opportunity, useful documents can include purchase contracts, addenda, disclosures, leases, rent rolls, payoff statements, tax information, repair estimates, insurance information, surveys, title commitments, association documents, environmental reports, probate authority, and entity documents. Remove unnecessary personal information before ordinary email transmission.

Colorado transaction context

The Colorado Division of Real Estate publishes current contracts, seller disclosures, inspection notices, title-related notices, brokerage disclosures, and other transaction forms. Those materials illustrate how many separate facts and deadlines can affect a Colorado transaction. Parties should use the correct form and obtain qualified advice for their role.
