Accelerate acquisition due diligence with Lextract. Abstract entire lease stacks in minutes, verify rent rolls automatically, and detect lease-level risks before closing.
By Angel Campa, Founder · Updated March 2026
Acquisition due diligence requires abstracting 10 to 50 leases within days to verify rent rolls, assess tenant credit risk, and identify lease-level issues that could affect property valuation. Manual abstraction under these timelines is error-prone and expensive. Analysts often resort to spot-checking a handful of leases rather than reviewing the full stack, leaving material risks undiscovered until after closing. A single overlooked below-market renewal option can cost hundreds of thousands in lost revenue.
Lextract processes an entire acquisition lease stack in under an hour, extracting 125+ structured fields per lease including all rent, escalation, renewal, and operating expense data. Automated red flag detection surfaces risks across every lease — not just the ones an analyst had time to review manually. The structured export feeds directly into Argus or Excel underwriting models, eliminating transcription errors between lease documents and financial analysis.

Yes. Lextract uses AWS Textract, an enterprise-grade OCR engine, to process scanned documents with skewed pages, low resolution, and inconsistent formatting. Confidence scores on each extracted field indicate where scan quality may have affected accuracy.
Third-party abstraction firms typically charge $150 to $500 per lease and require 5 to 10 business days for delivery. Lextract costs $20 per lease and delivers results in under 3 minutes. For a 20-lease acquisition, that is $400 vs. $3,000-$10,000, delivered in 30 minutes vs. 1-2 weeks.
No. Lextract provides structured data extraction and risk flagging to accelerate and inform legal review, but it does not provide legal advice. Attorneys should still review key provisions, particularly where red flags are detected or confidence scores are low.
