Example Output
Executive Summary
Property: 12-acre commercial land, Phoenix, AZ | Asking: $475,000 | Fair Value (est.): $420,000–$520,000 Risk Level: Medium-Low | Recommendation: Proceed to bid; conduct Phase I ESA post-auction
Key Findings
Zoning: Commercial (C-3) — Permitted uses: retail, office, light industrial, mixed-use. Height limit 75 ft. No variances required.
Environmental: Not in 100-year flood zone. Former dry cleaner 0.7 miles away (low groundwater risk). Action: Order Phase I ESA (~$1,500).
Market Comparables: 8 sales last 12 months, $32–$48/sf. Your property: $36/sf — Below market, strong buy signal.
Title: Clear title. Utility easement along north boundary (no impact on development). No active liens.
Financial: If developed as mixed-use office/retail — Estimated 14-month ROI of 18–22% assuming $650k development costs.
Red Flags
- ⚠️ Utility capacity — Verify water/sewer adequacy
- ⚠️ Rezoning timeline — Confirm municipal approval for higher density
- ✓ Title is clean — Low legal risk
