What’s Hiding in Your Building? The Truth About Property Condition Assessments with Greg Trotter
Manage episode 507803081 series 1016697
Before you buy or lease commercial real estate, there’s one report that can save you from six-figure surprises — the Property Condition Assessment.
In this episode, Greg Trotter, a 50-year veteran of construction, consulting, and expert witness testimony, joins us to explain why PCAs are essential to investor due diligence. From flood damage and corroded fire systems to structural defects hiding in plain sight, Greg breaks down how a thorough PCA protects your capital, prevents lawsuits, and gives you leverage at the negotiation table.
You’ll learn:
What’s included in a PCA (and how it differs from a home inspection)
The biggest deal-killers found in commercial properties
Why banks and equity partners both rely on PCAs (but for different reasons)
Real-world examples of surprises — including collapsing balconies, failed sprinkler systems, and one “missing” sewer line
What happens when PCA reports are inaccurate — and why Greg sometimes ends up in court
Whether you're buying an apartment building, leasing a warehouse, or investing in a strip center, this episode will change the way you look at physical due diligence.
