Read GuideFrequently Asked Questions
What do CRE lenders look for in a sponsor?
Lenders evaluate sponsor net worth and liquidity (typically requiring net worth equal to the loan amount), relevant experience with the property type and market, track record of successful projects, and the strength of the management team. Groundstone AI helps you identify and present these qualifications clearly.
How should I prepare my deal package before approaching lenders?
A complete deal package includes the offering memorandum, rent roll, trailing 12-month financials, property condition report, environmental reports, and a detailed business plan. Upload your documents to Groundstone and our AI will identify any gaps before lenders do.
What is the most common reason CRE loan applications get rejected?
Incomplete or inconsistent documentation is the leading cause of delays and rejections. When the numbers in the OM do not match the rent roll, or key documents are missing, lenders lose confidence. Groundstone cross-validates every data point across your documents automatically.
How long does it take to get a CRE deal analyzed?
With Groundstone AI, you receive a full analysis in approximately 15 minutes. This includes financial review, property assessment, market research, and gap identification. Traditional manual review of the same scope takes days or weeks.
Can Groundstone help me find the right lender for my deal?
Yes. After analysis, Victor (our capital matching agent) identifies lenders whose credit box matches your deal type, size, and geography. Chloe then drafts personalized outreach emails so you can approach the right capital partners with a professional package.
