Angelic Due Diligence
Investors acquiring or investing in commercial real estate typically receive a rent roll and other documentation about the property from the seller. Ultimately any information provided has but one purpose: to sell the property at the highest price in the shortest amount of time. The challenge is to determine the property’s real value. Angelic Due Diligence audit’s the seller’s numbers -- a paper intensive, time consuming and detail-oriented process that involves proactively searching, sorting, and synthesizing every piece of financial data necessary. We obtain a full property description, income and expense data, market comparables, and perhaps an Argus run demonstrating future cash flow analysis. We then do a painstaking review of the property’s historical financial statements, projected budget, income and expenses, comparing these findings against the numbers provided by the seller. The goal is to gain a ‘complete picture’ of the property.
This can apply for sellers as well, using this same process to "scrub" and review data before submitting it to buyers, protecting a seller from potential allegations of misrepresentation, and just as importantly, making sure nothing that might increase value is missed. It is surprising how many omissions are made that benefit the buyer, not the seller, in the sales process on investment commercial real estate.
Refinancing a property leads to a similar ownership objective - making sure information presented to potential lenders is not only accurate, but complete, maximizing loan proceeds and terms, and ensuring that the loan diligence process does not uncover inaccuracies that impact the would-be loan terms.
