Calabasas, CA REIT: Powering Deal Flow for a US Investment Advisory Firm During a Market Slump

Share

Challenge:

In Q1 2022, a progressive investment advisory firm, dedicated to securing top-tier commercial real estate deals for its investors, engaged FinacPlus amidst a challenging US real estate market. 

With deal conversion rates at a historic low, stringent underwriting was paramount. 

The firm needed underwriters capable of rapid turnaround times – processing deal files within 24 hours – while also providing extended availability for maximum coverage.  This demand required a unique blend of speed, expertise, and flexible support.

Solution:

FinacPlus responded by identifying and placing highly experienced underwriters with proven track records in commercial real estate.  These seasoned professionals possessed the deep market knowledge and underwriting acumen necessary to meet the client’s demanding requirements. 

Since onboarding, this two-person team has collectively underwritten over 1,500 deals, demonstrating their exceptional productivity and expertise.  Critically, the team proactively implemented a dual login/logout schedule, rotating bi-weekly to ensure extended coverage and seamless support for the client.

Impact:

The impact of the FinacPlus underwriting team has been significant.  Not only did they consistently meet the 24-hour turnaround time, but they also played a key role in supporting a ~$1.5 billion pipeline of multifamily deals in 2024. 

Through meticulous planning and execution, the team successfully provided extended coverage without compromising turnaround times, directly enabling the client to navigate the challenging market conditions and capitalize on opportunities. 

This partnership showcases the value of FinacPlus’s ability to provide highly specialized talent and flexible solutions that directly contribute to client success, even in a down market.
