Hey everyone,I’m exploring the idea of creating a software tool designed to streamline the due diligence process for commercial real estate transactions.

The author and article suggests to utilize the climate risk data before committing to an investment and be familiar with specific risks in your area—whether it’s floods, wildfires or heat waves.They recommend these valuable tools to assess these risks:FEMA National Risk Index – Provides a comprehensive overview of natural hazards across the U.S., including floods, earthquakes, and severe storms.USDA Wildfire Risk to Communities – Offers detailed insights into wildfire risks for homes in specific regions, particularly useful for properties near forests or dry areas.Risk Factor – Analyzes flood, fire, and other climate-related threats for individual properties, giving you a risk score.Climate Check – Delivers property-specific climate risk ratings, covering heat, drought, fire, and floods.Do you consider environmental factors like flood and heat when investing?

Quote from @Bob Billingtonz: You gave them the tools, but they refuse to use them.Based on what you've shared, I would give them a short, professional notice that tells them to abide by the lease or give 30 days' notice and move out.

I'm trying to move from SFH long term rental (one-off's) to building an actual portfolio focused in multifamily and growing from there.I can feel myself getting buried in spreadsheet-mania and the BP deal analyzer tools -- and is a soul-crusher. 

It would also make 1031 tax deferred exchange a more viable approach and tool you can use.

I am new to BP and starting to work my way through the volume of information and tools.

Do you have any specific tools or platforms you recommend for these tasks?

Using a whole life policy to secure a line of credit can be a powerful tool, especially since you’re leveraging a guaranteed asset.
