Commercial Real Estate Capital Raising Services
Financely helps commercial real estate (CRE) sponsors raise capital across the entire capital stack—senior debt, mezzanine, preferred equity, common equity, and bridge facilities. Whether you are developing, acquiring, or refinancing an asset, our job is to structure the deal, prepare institutional-grade materials, and place the opportunity with the right capital providers globally.
We work with developers, investment funds, operating partners, family offices, and asset managers looking to raise $10 million and above. Our process is hands-on, lender-facing, and results-driven. We don't shop random decks—we underwrite, shape, and guide deals to execution.
1. Full-Scope CRE Capital Raising
We raise capital for projects and portfolios at all stages of the real estate lifecycle, including land acquisition, construction, lease-up, repositioning, refinancing, and exit recapitalization. Financely supports clients on the following fronts:
- Debt structuring: senior, stretched senior, mezzanine
- Equity placement: preferred equity, GP co-invest, common equity
- Bridge and rescue financing
- Refinancing of legacy CRE loans

3. Our Capital Provider Network
We maintain a curated, real-money network of over 400 capital providers, segmented by deal size, asset type, geography, and risk appetite. This includes:
- Private debt and credit funds
- Real estate-focused private equity firms
- Family offices and single LP investors
- Real estate operating companies with balance sheet capital
- Regional and global banks
- Institutional bridge lenders and distressed asset funds
4. Required Documentation
Before engagement, Financely requires a minimum data pack to assess viability and prepare materials. This includes:
- Executive summary or investor presentation
- Full development budget or pro forma model (Excel preferred)
- Rent roll, leasing schedule, or market comps
- Appraisal or broker opinion of value (if available)
- Title report or land ownership documents
- Permits, zoning certificates, and environmental reports (if applicable)
- Sponsor bio or track record
5. Minimum Sponsor Equity
We require a minimum of 10–20% cash equity contribution from sponsors, depending on the risk profile and project stage. For land or early-stage deals, higher equity is expected unless additional collateral or guarantees are in place.
We do not support 100% financing or "no money down" structures.
6. The Capital Stack We Help Structure
Each transaction is modeled and structured to reflect the optimal balance of risk, return, and lender requirements. We raise and arrange capital across:
- Senior Debt:
Secured, first-lien loans from banks, credit funds, or insurance capital
- Mezzanine / Junior Debt:
Subordinated debt used to stretch leverage or cover shortfalls
- Preferred Equity:
Often non-voting, coupon-based return with fixed exit waterfall
- Common Equity:
LP capital or co-GP commitments, often requiring a promote structure
- Bridge Loans:
For acquisitions, recapitalizations, and pre-perm land positions
7. Timeline & Process
From mandate to close, our capital raising process typically follows this timeline:
- Day 1–7:
Data room review, mandate terms, and underwriting
- Day 8–14:
Financial modeling, teaser deck, and lender shortlist
- Day 15–45:
Outreach, Q&A, LOI/term sheet collection, negotiation
- Day 46–75:
Lender due diligence, IC approvals, document drafting
- Day 76–90:
Signing and funding (or longer if permit/approval required)
We prioritize speed, but not at the expense of execution quality. Our lenders receive a structured pack that answers questions up front, reducing unnecessary back-and-forth.
