Spot $1M+ in hidden deal risks before you close
What You Can Do
Execute commercial real estate due diligence in hours instead of weeks, systematically evaluating every material risk from environmental compliance to tenant creditworthiness. Identify financial red flags, structural problems, legal exposures, and market misalignments that deal teams commonly miss, giving you the confidence to move fast or walk away. Deliver investment-grade due diligence reports that satisfy lender requirements, investment committees, and legal counsel.

Example Output
Executive Summary: 42-unit multifamily in secondary market shows 8.2% entry cap rate, but red flags in tenant profile and lease structure reduce actual yield to 6.1%. Environmental phase I identified historical dry cleaner on adjacent parcel (0.3 miles upwind). Recommended: Request phase II environmental assessment and rent roll variance analysis before commitment.
Risk Scorecard:
- Financial Risk: HIGH (3 tenants = 42% of income, lease rollovers in next 24 months)
- Environmental: MEDIUM (adjacent property concern, Phase I ordered)
- Structural: LOW (2019 major HVAC replacement, roof 15 years old)
- Market: MEDIUM (absorption 18 months, limited comparable comps)
Contingency Recommendation: Structure deal with (a) environmental phase II contingency, (b) 45-day lease renewal verification, (c) engineering inspection for roof replacement reserve timing.
