## The remote purchase process

1. Thesis call — budget, product type, yield target, hold period, translated into specific submarkets
2. Screened deal flow — pre-driven, pre-underwritten candidates from listings, broker channels and off-market conversations
3. Live video tours — roof, mechanical rooms, tenant spaces, surrounding parcels
4. Offer and negotiation — contingency structures designed for a buyer who isn't on site
5. Managed due diligence — agent-attended inspections, Phase I environmental, contractor bids, estoppels, evidence-based credit negotiations
6. Remote close — notarization in the buyer's home state, wired funds, California escrow, local handoff to property management

## 1031 exchanges into San Jose

The search starts before the relinquished property closes, so the 45-day identification window opens with vetted, closeable candidates. Identification strategy (three-property or 200% rule), qualified-intermediary coordination, and backup-offer positioning are handled deliberately around the 45/180-day deadlines.

## Why Silicon Valley over higher-cap markets

Lower cap rates reflect lower risk: semiconductor/AI tenant economy, structural scarcity of industrial and R&D space, and effectively finished land supply — durability of income over headline yield.
