Background & Context

3 stories

3.1

Why due-diligence periods are getting shorter — and what survives the squeeze.

In tight markets, sellers compress diligence windows from 30 days to 7-10. The items that survive a compressed window are the ones with hard external dependencies — title work, survey, environmental Phase I — because they cannot be parallelized further. Inspections and financing contingencies tend to get squeezed first.

Why It Matters

Buyers who try to do the same diligence in 1/3 the time produce lower-quality findings and end up with surprises at closing. Knowing what cannot be compressed is the difference between a clean close and a re-trade.

3.2

Why cap rates are a starting point, not a verdict.

A cap rate is just NOI divided by price; it bakes in zero assumptions about the market, asset class, or capital structure. Two properties with identical 6% cap rates can have wildly different risk profiles depending on lease maturity, tenant credit, and capital reserve needs. Cap rate is a quick screening tool, not a buy signal.

Why It Matters

Underwriting purely on cap rate is the most common reason new investors pay above-market prices. The same investors then blame "the market" when their projected returns do not materialize three years in.

3.3

The HOA documents that matter when buying a condo.

Beyond the standard CC&Rs, four documents predict future assessment risk: the reserve study (is the association underfunded?), the most recent two annual budgets, the delinquency report (what % of owners are behind?), and any pending litigation. A reserve-study funding ratio below 30% is a yellow flag; below 10% is red.

Why It Matters

Special assessments in underfunded associations routinely run $10K-$50K per unit and arrive with little notice. The reserve study is a legally required disclosure in most states — but most buyers never ask for it.
