Most commercial real estate deals don’t fail because the asset is bad—they fail because the financing is misunderstood.
In this free live session, you’ll learn how commercial real estate deals are actually evaluated by lenders—and why banks, debt funds, and life insurance companies often see the same deal very differently. We’ll break down the three financing mistakes that most commonly derail deals and show you how to structure financing that supports both cash flow and long-term value.
This session cuts through the noise and focuses on what truly matters in underwriting, loan structure, and lender selection.
You’ll learn:
Mistake #1: Choosing the wrong capital source—and when life insurance financing offers better rates, longer terms, and more certainty
Mistake #2: Misunderstanding underwriting metrics that drive approval (DSCR, debt yield, sponsorship strength)
Mistake #3: Ignoring loan terms that quietly impact flexibility, risk, and exit strategy
Who should attend:
CRE investors evaluating financing options
Sponsors planning long-term holds
Investors considering bank, debt fund, or life company loans
Attendees will have the opportunity to book a complimentary 1-on-1 consultation to review a deal or financing strategy and get direct feedback on how a lender would view it.
