What To Send
Four Documents. That Is The Whole Ask.
Offering memorandum
The marketed story
We read it for what it asserts, then test every assertion against a source that is not the seller.
Rent roll
Who is actually in the building
Term, rate, escalations, options, and who is month-to-month. We check the roll against public lease records where they exist.
T-12
Twelve months of real history
The actual operating record. We compare it to the pro forma line by line and flag every gap between the two.
Pro forma
The projection
We rebuild it with real expenses, true vacancy, and the property taxes a new owner inherits rather than the ones the seller pays.
If you don’t have all four, send what you have. We’ll tell you what is missing and whether it changes the read.
The Four Redlines
Where Marketed Numbers Usually Break.
Redline 01
Post-sale property-tax reassessment
Taxes reset on sale. The assessor reprices to your purchase price, not the seller’s basis. It is the single most common error in marketed deals, and it lands entirely on the buyer.
Redline 02
Understated vacancy
Marketed vacancy is often the property’s best quarter rather than the submarket’s real number. We use market data and the actual lease expiry schedule instead.
Redline 03
Omitted management and reserves
Two line items almost never in the marketed expense stack and always in yours. Adding them back moves NOI further than most buyers expect.
Redline 04
Overstated reimbursements
NNN, modified gross, and absolute net get used loosely in listings. The lease language decides who absorbs rising taxes, insurance, and roof and structure.
