CLIENT CHALLENGES

  • A lack of focus on other critical/high-value-driven tasks, as a significant portion of the client’s time and resources were allocated to laborious research and modelling activities

OUR APPROACH

    • The Acuity team did all the heavy lifting and took end-to-end ownership of the analysis process (at pre-closing and closing stages), which included
    • In-depth screening and analysis of loan covenants, financial modelling and cash flow projections
    • Detailed lease and rent-roll reviews
    • Financial statement analysis and future cash flow prognosis
    • Economic research and micro and macro market overview using proprietary and public databases
    • Portfolio monitoring and management through Rockport
  • Acuity leveraged its underwriting and valuation capabilities, along with hands-on experience on various RE-specific databases, to support the client on quick-turnaround projects
