OUR SERVICES

due diligence

Our services include a comprehensive review to evaluate a property’s physical condition, financial viability, and legal compliance. Key steps involve site assessment, zoning and permit review, market analysis, and examination of rental income and expenses. Additionally, we inspect insurance coverage for adequate risk protection, verify tenant leases and contracts, and identify any potential legal issues. This due diligence process ensures the property aligns with investment goals and mitigates risks associated with ownership and development.
