Investors are leaving big money on the table by not learning these essential principles. Most investors, real estate brokers and commercial real estate professionals barely scratch the surface conducting their due diligence. Mainly because "they don''t know what they don''t know. I''ve spent over 30 years helping investors buy and sell over 9 million square feet of property and witnessed the practices of professional and small investors. It wasn''t until I became an acquisition executive and learned some humiliating, expensive lessons that "I didn''t know what I didn''t know".

Uncovering hidden problems and issues (Sellers will NOT disclose these, so you need to know where to look for them. They will not "hand you a list of problems" about the property. Many of these issues could make or break your investment.) Critical factors to consider during your financial analysis. There''s a list of essential questions included that MUST be addressed. (Leaving these questions unanswered can be potentially devastating to an investment.) Not "over-paying" by making sure you''re getting all you deserve, by getting credited fairly for items on the closing statement.
