• Acquiring these skills will make you more confident, without being stressed when investigating investment properties. (This will be a real game changer when negotiating with brokers and sellers and they’ll be less likely to play any games with you.)
• Teaches you where to look for hidden problems and issues that can cost you major headaches, money, heartache or worse. (Think financial disaster if you don’t find them.)
• Find value enhancers that otherwise could be overlooked. (Once you are trained to look for these, you’ll know exactly where you’ll be adding value before you close escrow.) 
• Learn where to find a “goldmine of information” on the physical and material aspects of the property. (You don’t want to leave this to “chance,” putting yourself at a disadvantage.)  
• Learn how to properly conduct tenant interviews (which will uncover “volumes” of valuable information on the investment opportunity.  Learn this or lose out.)
• Learn how to respond to sellers when they push back on your requests for information or other important requests. (This will put you in a position of power when dealing with difficult sellers and brokers.)
• Know what hidden pitfalls to look for when reviewing leases, as well as the review of financial books and records. (Learn these or learn “the hard way,” which could be expensive or even disastrous.
• Learn a definite tracking system to keep track of all the questions and issues that are addressed to the seller. (This is a critical skill you want to implement immediately, which will help you avoid having critical issues, and requests “slipping through the cracks,” all because you don’t have a system in place.)
• Know the proper questions to ask and what to look for when analyzing the market where the property is located. (If not done properly, this could end up costing you dearly or worse, making a bad investment decision!)

By the time you’re finished with this course, you will feel more confident in your abilities to make an informed and intelligent decision to move forward with an investment or NOT. You’ll feel prepared to go up against ANY seller, without hesitation.

Having and adhering to a proven system allows you to conduct due diligence faster, easier, more efficiently, and you’re less likely to miss something.

The fundamentals remain the same when it comes to due diligence for any of the commercial real estate genres, whether it be office or industrial properties; retail or multi-family residential. It is all relevant as well as applicable, and this information can be used to purchase any of them. It will pay for itself many, many times over. We need reminding as much as we need learning. There’s just too many things to remember.
