Project Financing Plans & Due Diligence...

Project financing plans are a core competency with Rainmaker Marketing Corporation.  We can develop project financing plans in as little as a week (in some cases).  Entitlement reviews at the local, county, state and/or federal levels can take a bit longer, but are usually also ordered by the client based on a quick reference look-up (a one-day review of relevant state and federal titles).  The resulting project financing plan (or "capital funding proposal" as it is sometimes called) can be literally earth-shattering.

The incorporation of multiple layers of entitlement program incentives together with convertible mezzanine loans, "top-coated" construction loans and limited developer capital provide for extraordinary levels of financial investment leverage.

The resulting capital funding proposal isn't limited to just "equity" and "debt".  Consideration has to be given to a wide array of financial incentives that can be applied to a given commercial real estate development financing.  The bottom line - the more thought you put into it the better off you are going to be in terms of how much money everyone will look to you to toss into the pot.  It is important to remember that the primary job of every entrepreneur is the underwriting of the resulting investment.  Plain and simple, "you need 100% of the budget funds up on the closing table to get started, so whatever percentage isn't being provided by other means, means you will be putting them up."  As the sponsor of the project financing plan your job is to underwrite the project's capital financing requirements, so all due diligence activities must be subordinated to this singular goal that accepts no substitution.

This brings us to the discussion of the key areas of the capital funding proposal that you might want to give consideration to:
