The due diligence period in Oregon commercial transactions gives buyers a broad window to investigate all aspects of the property — conducting environmental studies (Phase I/II), reviewing leases and financials, obtaining surveys, verifying zoning, inspecting the physical condition, and assessing legal title. If unsatisfied with any finding, the buyer can typically terminate without penalty during this period.
