A marketed cap rate, rent roll or pro forma is a starting claim—not an investment conclusion. A defensible acquisition record connects income and expenses to leases, collections, property condition, capital requirements, financing and exit assumptions.
Commercially provides brokerage search, property information and transaction coordination. Investment, legal, tax, appraisal, environmental, engineering and lending conclusions remain with the qualified decision-makers responsible for them.
This count describes active authorized listing records—not unique properties, completed transactions, vacancy, absorption, value or market size. Missing fields are not estimated.
Decision path
State markets, property types, price, equity, financing, return framework, tenancy tolerance, capital capacity, hold period and decision authority.
Review public, exclusive and qualified private opportunities against the same mandate. Preserve why properties advance or fail.
Trace income, recoveries, vacancy, expenses, capital, leasing costs, debt and exit assumptions to dated evidence. Keep marketed and normalized cases separate.
Coordinate title, leases, use, permits, condition, environment, insurance, tax, financing and closing evidence through defined conditions and access.
Summarize verified facts, professional conclusions, unresolved risks, scenarios, contractual protection and approval before waiver or closing.
Evidence standard
Rent roll, leases, amendments, deposits, arrears, concessions, collections, options and tenant-level exceptions.
Statements, recoveries, taxes, insurance, utilities, contracts, repairs, replacements, immediate work and future reserves.
Title, use, permits, building condition, environment, tenant covenant, rollover, vacancy and re-leasing requirements.
Purchase costs, debt, equity, lender definitions, cash flow, sensitivity, hold period, exit costs and evidence-backed terminal assumptions.
Each guide identifies its audience, review date, primary sources and limitations. Commercial review by Slav Loban.
The guide library
Find questions to ask, records to gather and decisions to prepare for.
