Latest Trends

These evolving trends reflect a shift toward more holistic, data-driven, and sustainable due diligence practices that better protect investors and align with modern regulatory and market demands.

Enhanced Physical Property Evaluation:

Inspections follow updated standards like ComSOP and ASTM E2018, covering detailed assessments of building systems (roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, safety equipment) and producing thorough Property Condition Reports (PCRs) that include immediate repairs and long-term replacement reserves.

Increased Emphasis on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Factors:

Due diligence now includes evaluating a property’s environmental impact, sustainability practices, carbon footprint, and governance compliance. ESG considerations are becoming critical for valuation, marketability, and regulatory compliance.

Advanced Financial Due Diligence:

More rigorous rent roll verification, lease audits, and expense benchmarking are used to validate income streams and identify hidden risks. Economic and demographic trend analysis helps forecast property performance in changing markets.

Integration of Technology:

Use of Virtual Data Rooms (VDRs) and generative AI tools streamlines document management, enhances data analysis, and improves decision-making efficiency during due diligence.

Focus on Future Development and Market Position:

Due diligence now incorporates assessments of nearby planned developments, infrastructure projects, and community growth to anticipate market saturation or opportunities.

Longer Due Diligence Cycles:

With fundraising and transaction timelines extending up to 24 months, thorough documentation, organization, and ongoing monitoring have become essential to maintain investor confidence.
