Structured
Finance Consultants...
Rainmaker
Marketing Corporation's
structured
finance consultants focus on commercial real estate development project
funding syndications for pre-construction phase project financing,
construction phase project financing and/or post-construction operations phase
project financing. Our structured finance consultants can provide the
following services:
 |
Market
Feasibility Studies (not available if you intend to have Rainmaker act
as the syndicator for your transaction - commercial
real estate syndication management consulting). |
 |
Financial
Feasibility Studies/Pro
Forma Financial Presentations. |
 |
Business
Plans (strategic and operations plans). |
 |
Statutory
Investment Incentive Entitlements Reviews. |
 |
Capital
Funding Plan Proposals. |
 |
Fractional
Commercial Real Estate Ownership Syndication Plans. |
The most important element is the last element, because:
 |
Commercial real estate syndication financing can be
used for the purposes of dictating the terms of the construction
mortgage financing. Raise enough capital (using the syndication
route) and lenders will suddenly become a lot friendlier and
malleable. |
 |
Commercial real estate syndication financing of
fractional deeded real property interests can provide a higher level
of protection to the syndicate participants than can be achieved by
the lender using a commercial mortgage lien. |
 |
Commercial real estate syndication financing is
non-recourse in nature and can close as early as the project's
pre-construction phase. The timing means the sales proceeds can
be used to replace the developer's seed capital investment.
Paying attention now? Did you know structured finance could be
so interesting or there was a group of consultants who would place so
much emphasis on making you a success? |
In order for a given commercial
real estate developer to obtain financing using the fractional real estate
ownership syndication approach, the following program must be adopted:
 |
First, a market feasibility
analysis report must be generated. Rainmaker cannot prepare this
document if you are intending to have Rainmaker act as the syndicator of the
transaction due to the inherent conflicts-of-interest; then |
 |
Next, a statutory
entitlements review must be undertaken because the potential for creating
additional funding support for the structured finance syndication approach
is too important to pass up. Rainmaker typically charges $995 to
$1,500 to complete a statutory entitlements review (those pesky lawyers); then |
 |
Next, the third-party due
diligence reporting program must be initiated and provide the following
reports:
 |
Environmental Phase I
Report |
 |
Surveys (metes &
bounds, as-built, encroachment, etc.) |
 |
Value Engineering
Report |
 |
Staffing Plan |
 |
Media Plan |
 |
Architectural (firm
profile, services agreement, schematic phase designs & outline
construction specs) |
 |
Development Plat |
 |
Site Plan |
 |
Title & Title
Insurance |
 |
Construction (firm
profile, design/build agreement, cost estimates, GMP, bonding letter,
financial statements) |
