Commercial Real Estate Capital Raising
Documents Needed To Raise Capital For Commercial Real Estate
Capital gets approved when the file is clean. Most sponsors do not lose because the asset is “bad.” They lose because the package is incomplete, inconsistent, or impossible to diligence on a deadline.

Why Documents Decide The Outcome
Lenders and equity investors underwrite fast when they can verify three things: the property’s cash flow, the legal right to collect it, and the sponsor’s ability to execute the plan. Your documents are the proof.
If the proof is missing, the term sheet becomes a “maybe,” then turns into silence.
Practical rule:
if a third party cannot recreate your story from the data room without a call, you are not ready to raise capital.

Commercial Real Estate Data Room Index
A lender-grade data room is not just a folder dump. It is a clear index that matches how credit committees think, property, sponsor, legal, and risks.
| Folder |
What Goes Inside |
Why It Matters |
| 01. Transaction |
LOI/PSA, sources and uses, closing timeline, broker summary, deposits |
Sets constraints, deadlines, and whether the raise is real |
| 02. Property Financials |
T-12, YTD, general ledger (if available), budget, variance notes |
Validates cash flow and operating discipline |
| 03. Leasing |
Rent roll, lease copies, abstracts, expiries, options, concessions |
Explains stability, rollover risk, true effective rent |
| 04. Capital Expenditures |
Capex plan, bids, scope, timeline, draw schedule |
Supports the value creation story and mitigates surprise spend |
| 05. Third-Party Reports |
Appraisal, Phase I ESA, property condition report, engineering, survey |
Converts “claims” into third-party evidence |
| 06. Legal And Title |
Title commitment, exceptions, easements, zoning letter, permits |
Confirms enforceability and identifies deal-breaking issues early |
| 07. Insurance |
Current policies, loss runs, replacement cost, builder’s risk if needed |
Impacts lender requirements and cost assumptions |
| 08. Sponsor And KYC |
Entity chart, beneficial owners, IDs, resumes, track record, PFS if needed |
Most delays come from KYC and ownership questions |
| 09. Existing Debt |
Loan agreement, notes, guarantees, covenants, payoff letter, UCC |
Defines payoffs, consents, and refinance feasibility |
Fast rejection triggers:
missing PSA, mismatched rent roll vs T-12, unclear ownership, no capex scope, unverified leases, no third-party reports, or a business plan that depends on perfect leasing.
