Frequently Asked Questions

Typical DD costs?

$10M property: $35-75k total DD. $50M property: $100-200k. $200M+ property: $300-800k. Cost scales with complexity, not linearly with size. Triple-net portfolios simpler; ground-up development more complex.

DD components?

Phase I environmental: $3-8k. Phase II (if needed): $15-75k. Property Condition Assessment: $5-15k. Legal review: $20-100k. Financial audit: $15-40k. Survey: $2-10k. Appraisal: $5-15k. Title: $5-25k. Other: $5-25k.

Budget allocation?

Retail/multifamily: environmental light, CapEx heavy. Industrial: environmental heavy, legal moderate. Office: legal heavy (tenants), structural moderate. Hotel: complex — financial audit + PIP + franchise review. Budget by asset type.

How often should I rerun this?

Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
