Deal advisory

An experienced owner's review of your deal

We have bought, financed and run hotels and commercial property ourselves. We share what we have learned so you go into the deal, and the loan, knowing what matters.

What we look at with you

The loan is only as good as the deal behind it. Before you commit, we walk through the items that change how much cash you need and what a lender will do.

  • Cash needed at closing
  • Due diligence and closing timeline
  • Financing and appraisal contingencies
  • Renovation and PIP budget
  • Reserves and working capital
  • Franchise fees and brand requirements
  • Insurance cost and lender requirements
  • Your exit or refinance plan

Who does what

We give you our view and help you prepare. Your attorney handles the contract, your real estate broker (if you have one) handles price and terms with the other side, and your CPA handles tax. We coordinate with them so the financing fits the deal.

Our advisory is based on our own experience as owners and operators. Star Advantage Funding holds no real estate, securities, insurance, legal or accounting license and does not act as your broker, agent, attorney or CPA. Decisions are yours, made with your licensed advisers.
