Why Some “Good Deals” Never Get Funded
Usually it’s not the property. It’s how the deal is put together.
A few things that come up often:
- Numbers are too tight → deal only works if everything goes perfectly
- Exit isn’t realistic → refi or sale assumptions don’t match today’s market
- Scope is unclear → rehab numbers aren’t detailed enough for underwriting
- Liquidity gets stretched → investor qualifies for one deal, but not the next
None of these kill a deal immediately but they raise enough questions that funding gets harder or slower.
The deals that move smoothly are usually the ones that still make sense with a little margin for error.
Curious what’s been the biggest reason you’ve seen deals fall apart lately?
