A hangar can look like a straightforward acquisition and still carry risks that only surface after closing. We provide consulting-framed due diligence that supports your underwriting without serving as a USPAP appraisal, focused on the issues that change the price or kill the deal.
What we review
- Ground-lease terms, remaining term, and reversion risk.
- Separation of FBO business enterprise value from the real property.
- Market positioning, rent support, and demand for the specific field.
- Environmental exposure, including PFAS and AFFF from foam fire-suppression systems.

Common questions
I already have the seller's package. Why do I need this?
The seller's deck is built to sell. It rarely flags ground-lease reversion, environmental exposure from foam fire-suppression systems, or the portion of value that is FBO business rather than real property. We surface what changes the price or kills the deal.
Is this a USPAP appraisal?
No. It is consulting-framed due diligence that supports your underwriting. If your file also needs a certified appraisal, we can scope that separately.
Can you work on our closing timeline?
Yes. We scope the review to your decision date and flag the deal-critical issues first.
We are the lender, not the buyer. Do you work for us?
Yes. Much of this work is for aviation lenders underwriting against a hangar, where reversion and environmental risk directly affect collateral value.
