Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common use cases for lease abstraction?
The most frequent use cases are acquisition due diligence, annual portfolio reviews, lease renewal preparation, CAM reconciliation audits, and FASB ASC 842 / IFRS 16 compliance reporting. Each use case benefits from having 126 structured fields extracted per lease in 5–15 minutes rather than 2–8 hours of manual effort.
How does Lextract help with portfolio management?
Lextract converts unstructured lease PDFs into a consistent 126-field structured dataset for every lease in your portfolio. With standardized data, you can track critical dates, compare CAM structures, monitor escalation schedules, and identify leases approaching expiration — all from a single export rather than rereading each document.
Can Lextract be used for due diligence on commercial acquisitions?
Yes — due diligence is one of the highest-value use cases. During a typical acquisition, buyers must review dozens of leases under tight timelines. Lextract processes each PDF in 5–15 minutes and flags 20 risk factors automatically, enabling faster review and more consistent analysis across the target portfolio.
How does lease abstraction support lease renewals and negotiations?
Before a renewal negotiation, knowing your existing lease terms precisely gives you leverage. Lextract extracts all 126 fields — including option exercise windows, rent reset mechanisms, and holdover provisions — so you enter negotiations with complete data. At $15 per lease, it costs far less than a single hour of attorney review time.
