Define what you are buying first
An investment may be land, a completed property, company shares, business assets or development rights. Each structure changes the review and responsibility for prior obligations.
The thesis should explain where returns come from, what additional capital is required, who will operate and how the investment can exit.
Four risks that change the result
- Asset: title, access, boundaries, improvements, occupants and restrictions.
- Seller: identity, capacity, representation and authorizations.
- Operation: permits, contracts, people, suppliers and demand.
- Closing: taxes, holdbacks, conditions, warranties and payment traceability.
Company, foundation or personal name
There is no universally superior structure. The choice depends on the asset, partners, financing, succession, taxation and the investor’s home country.
Before signing or paying
- Define the asset and acquisition vehicle.
- Obtain registry, corporate, tax and operating documents.
- Confirm permits, utilities and access.
- Model costs without unverified incentives.
- Turn findings into closing conditions or price adjustments.
