Seller concerns are key in any proposal. This one offers higher rent with credits, an upfront option fee, a set purchase timeline/price, and maintenance provisions. It outlines Jasmine's path to financing. #RealEstate #Proposal #DealStructure

Most buyers negotiate price. The smart ones negotiate structure. Price is one number. Structure is ten decisions that together determine whether the deal actually works for you. Here's what I mean. Two buyers both pay $3M for the same business. Same price. Completely different deals. Buyer A pays $3M cash at close. Seller walks away. Buyer is fully exposed from day one. Buyer B pays $2.4M at close, $400K seller note over three years, $200K earnout tied to revenue retention of the top three customers. Seller stays on as a consultant for six months. If the top customers leave in year one, the earnout doesn't pay. Same price. But Buyer B has the seller's skin in the game. Has six months of transition support. Has $200K of protection against the single biggest risk in the deal. This is why I tell buyers: don't fight over the last $100K on price. Fight for the right structure. A $100K price reduction saves you $100K once. A well-structured earnout and seller note can save you $400K if things go sideways — and cost you nothing if they don't. #SMBacquisitions #DealStructure #MergersAndAcquisitions #BusinessAcquisition #MainStreetMA

Before a lender even reads your executive summary, they've already run 3 numbers. DSCR. LTV. NOI. If those don't hit their thresholds, the conversation ends before it starts. Here's what they're actually looking for: ↳ DSCR of 1.25x minimum — 1.35x puts you in a strong position ↳ LTV at or below 75% — lower means better rates and terms ↳ NOI that holds up even after they stress-test your vacancy Most deals don't fail because of the market. They fail because the borrower walked in unprepared. At Icon Capital Advisors, we make sure your numbers are dialed in before you ever sit across from a lender. DM us "NUMBERS" and let's look at your deal together. #CommercialRealEstate #CREFinance #RealEstateInvesting #CRELoans #MultifamilyInvesting #IconCapitalAdvisors #RealEstateCapital #CREInvestor #PrivateLending #DealStructure

Most new raisers give away the upside or charge the wrong fees. Not because they’re generous. Because they don’t know what they’re doing. When structuring your first deal, here’s what’s at stake: → Too aggressive? You scare off your smartest capital. → Too soft? You work for free while others collect the carry. The truth is: Deal structure signals your competence. Serious investors can spot a rookie by the split alone. They’ll pass—not because the deal is bad, but because you look like a liability. Inside our mastermind, I walk through the exact mechanics I’ve used to structure deals across real estate, credit, and venture— Deals that raised millions and protected the upside without alienating serious capital. We talk: • Preferred returns • Hurdle rates • Catch-up mechanics • Waterfall sequencing • Fee justification • Co-GP alignment The goal? You don’t just raise capital. You keep more of what you build. If you’re structuring your first deal—or realizing you structured your last one wrong—this is your chance to do it right. We’ll show you how. #CapitalRaising #DealStructure #PrivateEquity #RealEstateInvesting #FundManagement #Founders #GPs #InvestorRelations
