AI Raw Land Due Diligence
The Problem
“Land diligence is a manual data hunt—so deals stall and hidden risks slip into underwriting”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Analysts spend hours jumping between county sites, GIS portals, PDFs, and spreadsheets to build a single parcel view
Red flags (access, zoning limits, wetlands/flood, utility proximity, liens/encumbrances) get discovered late—after time and money are already spent
Valuations are inconsistent because comps and assumptions vary by analyst, market, and available data
No clean audit trail: decisions rely on screenshots/notes, making it hard to reproduce conclusions or defend them to IC/lenders
Impact When Solved
The Shift
Human Does
- •Search and download assessor/recorder, zoning, and permitting documents parcel-by-parcel
- •Manually interpret GIS layers (flood, wetlands, slopes) and summarize constraints
- •Find and adjust comps, build valuation ranges, and write the diligence memo
- •Coordinate vendors (title, survey, Phase I/soil) and reconcile findings back into the model
Automation
- •Basic mapping/GIS viewers and spreadsheet templates
- •Keyword search across PDFs and folders
- •Rule-of-thumb checklists maintained manually
Human Does
- •Define deal strategy and thresholds (acceptable risks, target use, required entitlements)
- •Review AI-flagged exceptions and make final go/no-go and pricing decisions
- •Approve sources/assumptions for investment committee and lender packages
AI Handles
- •Ingest and normalize parcel data from county records, GIS layers, FEMA/USFWS/state sources, listings, and historical sales
- •Extract key fields from PDFs/scan images (ordinances, plats, permits) and link evidence to each conclusion
- •Run geospatial checks (access/road frontage, proximity to utilities, slope, flood/wetlands overlap) and generate risk/constraint summaries
- •Automate comp selection and market analysis; produce valuation ranges with confidence scores and rationale
