💬 Negotiation Points

Key issues to address when reviewing or negotiating a property acquisition NDA.

Buyer Negotiation Tips

1
Ensure lender carve-outs. You'll need to share financials with your lender. Confirm the NDA allows disclosure to financing sources under confidentiality.
2
Negotiate partner disclosure rights. If you may bring in equity partners, ensure the NDA allows sharing with potential co-investors.
3
Clarify return/destroy obligations. Ensure carve-outs for legally required retention and backup systems that can't practically be purged.
4
Watch standstill provisions. These can prevent you from making unsolicited offers. Ensure they expire after a reasonable period.

Seller Negotiation Tips

1
Require tenant contact restrictions. Prevent buyers from contacting tenants directly during due diligence without your approval.
2
Include non-circumvention. If a broker introduced the deal, prevent buyers from going around them in future transactions.
3
Specify destruction certification. Require written confirmation that all materials were destroyed if the deal doesn't close.
