Acquisition

Financial needs change and must be adapted to ever changing economic conditions. Our job is to understand them and to develop financial strategies to achieve them. Our professionals are experts at underwriting commercial real estate and are constantly monitoring real estate markets seeking to identify existing and emerging trends. As an added benefit, we have the ability as actual real estate owners to provide an additional acquisition channel for your disposition needs.

Our equity and lending relationships have been cultivated over decades in business and provides us with many options to best suit your individual needs. Whether your objective is maximizing cash flow, accelerated amortization, or mezzanine financing, our associates have the knowledge and expertise to create equity and loan solutions to achieve your goals.

Due Diligence

It is one thing to get a property under contract. It is quite another to verify that the information that formed the basis for your decision is correct. As owners and managers of commercial real estate, we have our own in-house teams of due diligence professionals who are adept at cutting through and clarifying all of the pertinent information relating to critical underpinnings of the subject real estate. Every aspect of the property will be reviewed; accounting, lease analysis, financial analysis, how the asset ranks with regards to other comparable assets in the market, third party studies (Physical inspection, Environmental, Appraisal), survey, municipality compliance. Whether it is for our own real estate funds (Main Street Real Estate Funds) or for your own acquisition needs, be assured that our experienced teams will verify that your decision to acquire the assets in the first place was the right decision all along.

Asset Management

As important as the buy-side strategy is, it is equally important to have an eye on the exit strategy. With this in mind, our in-house asset management department is staffed with experienced asset managers who have experience with many different asset classifications. Issues such as establishing the proper tenant mix, placing appropriate debt/equity structures to maximize future value, as well as maintaining the asset value through appropriate and timely capital expenditures, are critical in the ownership lifespan of commercial real estate. Maintaining and augmenting asset value is at the heart of our asset management objectives.
