GUIDE & CHECKLIST

Commercial Real Estate Financing Checklist

A property request combines borrower credit with real estate income, value and condition.

Why this matters

Property financing depends on both the real estate and the borrower. Organize property income, value, condition and transaction details before lender review.

Work through the details

Property income

Gather current rent roll, material leases and historical operating statements; identify vacancies and upcoming expirations.

Transaction and capital

Document purchase terms or existing payoff, proposed equity, renovation budget and intended hold or exit.

Diligence and sponsor

Identify taxes, insurance, title, environmental and appraisal items that may be requested, plus sponsor liquidity and experience.

Preparation checklist

  • Rent roll, leases and historical property operating statements
  • Property tax, insurance and repair information
  • Appraisal, title and environmental items as requested
  • Borrower liquidity and the proposed hold or exit plan

Questions that can slow a request

Income assumptions

Projected rents may not match lease terms or recent collections.

Late third-party findings

Appraisal, title, environmental or insurance issues can alter proceeds or closing timing.

How Alliance helps

A property deadline leaves little room for late questions about leases, value, or equity. Alliance reviews the property and sponsor together, identifies likely diligence gaps, and compares structures against your investment plan. You know which items need attention before they threaten the closing schedule.
