Sound familiar?

I’m a business owner.
I know my business, but I don’t know real estate.

My business needs a new space, but where do I start?  Finding the right property, securing funding, designing the plan, obtaining the permits and approvals, sourcing and managing a competent contractor–none of this is my expertise. But my business growth depends on getting right, I can’t afford to mess this up.

I’m a developer.
I know what needs to be done, but I don’t have the time or resources to do it myself.

Developing a property is a massive project with dozens of time-intensive  pieces.

From negotiating with suppliers, coordinating logistics and tracking progress to obtaining approvals and permits and overseeing development They’re all crucial steps that must be done right–but I don’t want to be the one to do it.

Due Diligence

The make-it-or-break factor for your deal is out there and findable–it’s just a matter of doing the work, doing it well, and being able to connect the dots to understand what it all means.

Financial Underwriting

It’s more than than a run of the numbers. It’s an editable model built specifically to your property and needs that gives you complete control metric. So you can stress-test and manipulate the numbers however you want to see it.

VISIONRE DUE DILIGENCE

More than your dues.

Due Diligence
Characteristic Review
Zoning  + Permitted Use Review

Your properties zoning and permitted use dictates its potential. We’ll do a deep dive to check zoning, air rights, density limits, parking regulations, and more. Our aim? To provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the conditions, restrictions, and viable options for the property.

Public Record Request

Undisclosed liens, outstanding violations....those things will cost you. We’ll obtain and review all the the official documents from government agencies to check for any potential obstacles.

Tax Incentive Eligibility

We’ll find out if the property qualifies for tax incentives or tax reductions that will improve your  bottom line.

Survey and Title Review

We’ll double-check the property’s exact boundaries, legal ownership, and legal history, to ensure the property’s title is clean and clear.

Vendor Consultations

We’ll meet with experts like lawyers, accountants, and engineers to ensure all the legalities and finances are to your best advantage and  to identify any potential risks.

Project Phasing and Timeline of Development

We'll set realistic budgets and timelines for development factoring in both hard and soft costs, so construction stays on track and within budget.

Third Party Report Review

We’ll look at third-party reports like engineering assessments, geotechnical reports, and property condition assessments to uncover any potential risks or issues with the property.

Strategic Site Planning

Using the site constraints, we'll run multiple scenarios with unit and building layouts to identify the property's maximum potential. We'll also make sure the exterior design fits the neighborhood, meets local code and impresses the potential tenants.

Site Visit

Ensure access points. Review traffic patterns. Check physical structures. These kinds of things can increase or decrease the property’s ROI by hundreds of thousands of dollars–and can only be uncovered in a site visit.

Market Analysis
Market Trend Analysis

We'll dig deep into the trends, economic indicators, and demographics of the local market (like family type, age, school district, median income) to assess where it is, and where it’s heading. This ensures your property plan is on par with the market’s trajectory, maximizing it’s potential for success.

Financial Underwriting

We’ll review and carefully document all the unit and building details from your architectural plans and give you a summary of your unit mix, unit type sizes and common space area. This way, you can accurately gauge your potential income and expenses.

Cash Flows and Returns

Your monthly and annual cash flows are the meat and potatoes of your deal. We’ll draw up a comprehensive cash flow chart for both monthly and annual terms and give you a variety of return metrics based on these charts.

Sale Detail

Based on your model of income and expense, we’ll calculate your sale assumption costs and sale metrics so that you can see what your exit will look like.

Tax Abatements

We’ll figure how best to incorporate financial support or tax advantages into the financial model, so you get max profit. We’ll review the area’s tax abatement terms and do a full analysis of the NPV abatement on exit.

Income and Expense Projections

We’ll lay out rental projections, a lease up schedule, concessions and other income. We’ll give you estimated vacancy and growth rates and factor in a projected amount of operating expenses. And you’ll get an accurate picture of the rewards and the risks, plus creative options on how to mitigate the risks to make it work for you.

Debt Terms

We'll assess loans or mortgages to secure the most suitable funding for purchase or development. We’ll also establish construction and permanent debt assumptions, LTC/LTV and DSCR constraints, interest rates, debt and prepayment fees, amortization, the IO period,  and rate caps to make sure all your terms are aligned with your financial strategy.

Construction Budget

Guided by our experience, we'll ensure proper planning to keep your project on track and within budget. We'll craft a construction plan, establish timelines and phases, and allocate land costs, hard and soft costs, taxes and carrying costs for optimal execution.
