Due Diligence - What do you wish you had asked?

Closing in on my first signed LOI. This is a broker listed deal and they want to move the process along as quickly as possible. 
1) If you ended up passing on a deal, what should you have asked early to avoid wasting time?
2) If you acquired, what do you wish you had looked at more closedly?

Thanks!

I co-founded a YC-backed startup that automates parts of the QoE/DD processes so you don't make any mistakes during the most important part of the acquisition process. It prevents you from looking back and wishing you had asked a certain question during this stage. Our AI product saves you weeks of time and thousands of dollars. I think it would make sense for us to chat. You can schedule a time on my calendar here: https://calendly.com/dealwise/dealwise-30-minute-call
