Financial and Physical Due Diligence in Real Estate

Overview

A real estate investment could look strong on paper and still hide expensive surprises. In commercial real estate, due diligence is what separates a sound acquisition from a costly one.

This course shows you how to conduct due diligence so you can validate any real estate investment before committing. You’ll learn how to assess a property’s physical condition, understand how those findings influence investment decisions, and analyze and review financial components like leases. With this structured approach, you’ll reduce the risk of a costly mistake.
