Season 6, Episode #219 of Boroughs and Burbs dives into a topic every investor, lender, and property owner should understand: distressed properties and property assessment. We’re joined by Greg Trotter of Commercial Building Consultants, who has built a career evaluating buildings before small problems become catastrophic ones. From deferred maintenance and structural red flags to environmental risks and capital planning, Greg explains how proper assessment can protect your investment — or reveal opportunity where others see trouble. In a market where interest rates, insurance costs, and aging assets are colliding, knowing how to analyze risk is critical. Whether you’re buying, refinancing, or repositioning, this episode breaks down what separates smart due diligence from expensive surprises.
