Title: Seller delivers commitment within 10–15 days of effective date with all Schedule B exception docs. Buyer review: 10–15 days. Distinguish mandatory cure defects (monetary liens, marketable fee simple issues) from voluntary (easements, CCRs). Seller response: 10–15 days. Buyer election: 5–10 days to accept or terminate.

4. Due Diligence
Period: 30 days (single-tenant) to 60–90 days (complex/multi-tenant/environmental). Time is of the essence.
Access: 24–48 hours' notice, business hours. Coordinate tenant access through Seller/PM.
Scope: Physical (building systems, structure, utilities) | Environmental (Phase I per ASTM E1527 [VERIFY current edition]; Phase II if RECs) | Financial — income properties (leases, rent rolls, operating statements, capex) | Regulatory (zoning, ADA, COs, permits).
Buyer obligations: CGL insurance ≥ $1M/$2M aggregate naming Seller as additional insured; no interference with operations; repair damage; bear all costs.
