Due diligence as a service

[Mike M.]

Has due diligence as a service made its way to the realm of multifamily?  I see this in the financial and information security space, but wonder if it has hit real estate.  I don't have a need at this point, but I'm just curious.  For those not familiar with the aaS (as a service) model, in this context it would be a firm that takes on the responsibility of performing due diligence on a deal - perhaps being compensated on a percentage of a successful offer reduction (maybe contingency or fee plus).
