From your acquisition criteria to site control and closing.
Our in-house-built proprietary system
RECG Intelligence
Built for housing acquisitions. Focused on LIHTC.Vetted before it
reaches your desk.
Before we present a site, we review zoning, minimum and maximum density, resource designations, transit-oriented development (TOD) fit, USDA eligibility indicators and key diligence factors against your buy box. Our early due diligence also includes reviewing site documents for easements and other potential site issues. You receive our assessment of fit, with open questions clearly identified—so your team can move toward site control with a head start.
