Capital-readiness deliverables
- Project narrative and executive summary review
- Sources and uses check
- Sponsor background and track-record presentation
- Gaps a capital partner is likely to ask about
Types of capital, explained plainly
- Senior or bridge debt — a loan secured by the property, repaid with interest.
- Preferred equity — sits behind the loan and ahead of common equity, usually with a fixed preferred return.
- JV equity — a partner contributes capital and shares in the upside and control.
- LP equity — passive investors in a sponsor-managed vehicle.
Each carries different cost, control and risk. The right fit depends on the project and the sponsor.

Common questions
Do you guarantee funding?
No. The review improves how a project is presented; capital partners make their own decisions.
What size projects fit?
The current commercial focus is approximately $10m – $50m. Smaller projects may still benefit from a readiness review.
Should I send offering documents?
Not at first. A short summary and sources and uses are enough for a fit review.
