Free Property Due Diligence Tool

Property due diligence is the process of investigating a property before purchase or investment. It includes checking zoning compliance, environmental risks (flood, wildfire, contamination), buildability constraints (setbacks, height limits, FAR), title issues, and financial viability. Buildability™ automates the zoning and environmental portion using live data from 5 federal agencies.

Before buying, check: (1) Zoning — is the property zoned for your intended use? (2) Environmental risks — flood zone, wildfire, radon, contamination. (3) Buildability — can you renovate, add units, or develop? (4) Comps — what are similar properties selling/renting for? (5) Title and liens. Buildability™ handles items 1-3 instantly from government data.

Traditional due diligence with consultants costs $3,500-$10,000+ per property. Buildability™ provides zoning analysis, environmental screening, and buildability scoring for one Geo credit per property — $29, down to $6 at volume, and credits never expire. The free screening above gives you an instant risk assessment at no cost.

Buildability™ checks FEMA flood maps, EPA Superfund/brownfield databases, USGS seismic data, state wildfire hazard maps, and EPA radon zone data automatically. Enter your address above for a free instant screening. The full report (one Geo credit, from $29) includes detailed findings with each one citing the federal dataset it came from.

Yes. Buildability™ analyzes any U.S. parcel including commercial, residential, mixed-use, and vacant land. The tool checks zoning, environmental, and buildability factors regardless of property type. For commercial properties, the full report includes development standards, FAR analysis, and entitlement complexity rating.

A Phase I ESA (Environmental Site Assessment) investigates potential contamination from current or historical land use. It is typically required by lenders for commercial transactions. Buildability™ screens for EPA Superfund sites, brownfields, and contamination proximity as a pre-Phase I indicator. If flags are found, a full Phase I ($2,000-$5,000) is recommended.

The free tool screens one property at a time. For portfolio screening, buy Geo credits in bulk — the price drops automatically from $29 to as low as $6 per report at volume, and credits never expire. For bulk-uploading thousands of parcels with CSV upload, batch processing, and portfolio-wide scoring, talk to sales about a custom Bulk & Enterprise plan. Visit the pricing page for details.

The three costliest due diligence failures are: (1) Missing environmental contamination that requires $50,000-$500,000+ in remediation. (2) Overlooking zoning restrictions that prevent intended use or development. (3) Ignoring flood zone designations that add $3,000-$40,000/year in insurance. Buildability™ screens for all three.

Buildability™ delivers zoning, environmental, and buildability analysis in 20 seconds per property. Traditional due diligence takes 2-4 weeks per property. Investors using Buildability™ typically screen 10-50 properties per day versus 1-2 per week manually.

No. Buildability™ covers zoning compliance, environmental risk, and buildability analysis. Title searches, lien checks, and survey verification require separate providers. Buildability™ handles the property intelligence portion of due diligence; title companies handle the legal ownership portion.
