Commercial Real Estate Finance

Commercial Real Estate Acquisition Loans

Commercial real estate financing is won on documentation, controls, and credible execution pacing. A lender does not fund a story. A lender funds a file that underwrites cleanly.

Financely runs a term-sheet-first process for U.S. commercial real estate acquisitions with a minimum transaction size of USD 1,500,000. Fees are disclosed upfront. No free consultations.

What a Commercial Real Estate Acquisition Loan Covers

A commercial real estate acquisition loan is capital raised to purchase an income-producing property and fund closing costs, and in some cases approved capital expenditures. Lenders size proceeds against net operating income, collateral value, tenant quality, market depth, and sponsor strength.

How we operate: You submit a deal. We issue indicative terms with all fees disclosed. You sign the term sheet, upload your data room, and we start execution to close.

The 4-Step Process

RFQ, Term Sheet, Closing, Funding. This is a transaction-led process designed to produce written outcomes.

1) RFQ

Submit the property and borrower file for review. We screen for financeability, execution risk, and the fastest credible path to a lender decision.

2) Term Sheet

We issue indicative financing terms with pricing and fees, conditions, and a closing procedure. If a bridge, gap, or capex tranche is required, it is disclosed in the same term sheet.

3) Closing

After you sign the term sheet and pay the upfront fees, you upload the full data room. We package the lender-ready file, manage underwriting, diligence Q and A, and drive term sheets into executable documentation.

4) Funding

The loan funds at closing subject to conditions precedent and definitive documents. If lenders decline, you receive written decline reasons and next-best structure options if applicable.

Fees Disclosed Upfront

We disclose fees before execution begins. We do not start execution work without a signed term sheet, cleared payments, and a complete data room.

Upfront Due Diligence and Underwriting Fees

USD 9,500 to USD 59,500, payable upon acceptance of indicative terms. This covers structuring, lender-ready packaging, underwriting memo preparation, data room indexing, submission strategy, and managed lender decisioning.

Legal Documentation Fees

Legal documentation is priced separately and paid to counsel. Typical range is USD 7,500 to USD 35,000 depending on facility type, speed, and complexity. Lender legal and borrower counsel costs may both apply.

Fee on Funded Loans at Closing

2.5% to 4% of the funded loan amount, payable at closing. The rate depends on facility size, asset profile, sponsor strength, and structure.

Third-Party Reports and Closing Costs

Borrowers should budget for appraisal, environmental reports, engineering, title, insurance, background, and filing costs payable to third parties.

Closing Procedure

Closing is an execution workflow with an owner for each condition precedent. We manage the process so the lender credit team can clear items without delays or version conflicts.

1) Signed Terms and Data Room Lock

You sign the term sheet, pay the upfront fees, and upload the lender-ready file. We set one definitive version for each document and control updates through a tracked checklist.

2) Underwriting and Reports

We coordinate lender underwriting requests and third-party reports, route diligence questions, and keep responses tight and consistent across memo, model, rent roll, and purchase documents.

3) Legal Documentation and Conditions

Counsel drafts and negotiates definitive loan documents. We manage the closing checklist, conditions precedent, insurance, title, entity documents, and any cash management or reserve requirements.

4) Funding and Post-Close Controls

Funds are disbursed at closing once conditions are satisfied. Post-close, the lender’s reporting and covenant framework is implemented to keep the facility in good standing.

FAQ

Do you offer free consultations?

No. We issue terms first. If you want financing terms and a closing procedure, submit a deal and we will revert with indicative terms and next steps.

Is funding guaranteed?

No. Financing is subject to independent lender underwriting, diligence, and approvals. Financely does not promise approvals or funding.

What should I submit?

At minimum: purchase agreement or LOI, property address, rent roll, trailing twelve month operating statement, borrower profile, sources and uses, equity amount and source, and closing timeline.

When do fees apply?

Upfront due diligence and underwriting fees are paid after you accept the term sheet. Legal documentation fees are paid separately to counsel. The 2.5% to 4% fee is paid only at closing when the loan funds.

Submit Your Deal

Submit your commercial real estate acquisition. If the transaction fits, we will issue an indicative term sheet with the full fee schedule and closing procedure. Once you sign the term sheet and pay the upfront due diligence and underwriting fees, you will upload the complete data room and we will start execution toward closing and funding.

Commercial real estate financing is an execution discipline problem disguised as a rate discussion. If the rent roll, operating statements, sponsor profile, and purchase terms align, lenders can move.
