Due Diligence Framework
A rigorous due-diligence process protects against hidden liabilities and confirms that the asset meets strategic expectations. The framework typically covers four core domains:
- Physical Inspection: Structural assessments, environmental testing, and building code compliance reviews.
- Financial Review: Verification of rent rolls, operating expense histories, and tax records.
- Legal Examination: Title searches, easement analysis, and review of existing contracts.
- Operational Assessment: Evaluation of management practices, tenant mix, and service contracts.
