Perhaps one of the most essential early evaluative tools in real estate, due diligence is the investigation of a site or facility to provide detailed information as to its current condition. This investigation is a valuable tool by which property owners and users make informed decisions with respect to acquisition and disposition of property. At PVP, we coordinate and manage due diligence investigations based on individual client needs. A comprehensive due diligence investigation typically consists of the following components:

| Entitlement Analysis |
An important component of a due diligence investigation, entitlement analysis is the investigation of current zoning and planning applicable to the site as well as special districts or interim controls. The regulatory environment that controls the building process in today's marketplace is complex. In response to this complexity, PMA also provides an evaluation of future entitlement changes, including any pending legislation, trends in the local community and unstable political environments that may impact the future development potential of a site.
