Identify the operating unit

CRE acquisition guides by property type
Choose a guide by the acquisition decision, then use its worksheet to prepare the next evidence requests. The collection covers broad operating families and specialist assets. Parent guides help frame the strategy; specialist guides go deeper into the particular inventory, agreements and operating constraints that affect the deal.
Explore practical guides by asset type or state, with source references, worked examples and editable kits.
Choose a useful starting point
Match the guide to the work on your desk.
Open the working example
Inspect the fictional example before entering your own property. It shows how the guide’s specific evidence gaps turn into requests and reviewer tasks. The example is a teaching file, not an observed property or market result.
Keep the related question close
Move into the relevant state guide when the work reaches local records, permits or authority-specific identifiers. The asset guide and state guide serve different decisions.
Using the collection
What can you do with these guides?
Is this a dataset of available properties?
No. It is a collection of research and acquisition-workflow guides with editable worksheets. Source inventories, verified property samples and future studies are identified separately.
Do I need a research report to use a kit?
No. Start with the worked example or the evidence already in your deal file. The output is a review sheet with missing information and specific next actions.
How will the collection improve over time?
New research can add dated findings, source-backed samples and deeper examples to the existing guide. The useful method, source trail and kit remain accessible between report editions.
