Commercial Acquisition Financing
Acquisition financing should be structured around the property being purchased, the capital required, qualifying cash flow, the buyer or sponsor, and the intended holding or business plan.
The financing request usually needs to explain what is being acquired, purchase price, requested debt, equity source, property income/expenses where applicable and how the acquisition fits the borrower’s plan.

Align due diligence with the purchase contract
Map financing, appraisal, environmental review, lease review and legal conditions against the purchase deadlines. Ask which reports the lender will accept before ordering them. Calculate equity and closing cash after all adjustments and costs. If approval depends on a lease renewal or tenant change, identify who must complete that step and by when.
