Key Takeaways
- Three decision gates (Accept, Negotiate, Terminate) prevent emotional decision-making on inspection findings.
- BOMA's 4-5x multiplier provides a more realistic estimate of deferred maintenance remediation costs.
- Advanced assessment tools (thermal, drone, destructive testing) add $1,000-$5,000 but prevent 10-100x surprises.
- Always compare acquisitions on TCO—the cheapest purchase price may be the most expensive total investment.
