Trustworthy CRE financial due diligence starts with the right framework

Are hidden risks undermining your CRE investment decisions?


Weak data, inherited assumptions, and inconsistent processes can quietly distort risk and lead to expensive surprises after the deal closes.

This guide helps investors, owners, and operators apply a disciplined, repeatable approach to CRE financial due diligence to validate assumptions, surface real risks, and make confident decisions across single assets or multi-market portfolios.


In this guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Establish guiding principles that align financial due diligence with investment objectives and risk appetite

  • Apply best practices for gathering and validating high-quality, standardized data to verify seller representations

  • Strengthen pro forma development and assumption testing using disciplined, scenario-based analysis

  • Improve consistency, transparency, and defensibility in financial due diligence reporting

  • Integrate structured processes and modern technology to support a more efficient, repeatable due diligence workflow
