In the last 30 days, I’ve seen more deals stall over capital expectations than underwriting.

The fastest deal-killer I’m seeing right now is still 100% financing expectations — even on otherwise solid commercial assets.

Curious how others are navigating this market:

– Are you bringing in more equity up front?

– Using pref or JV structures?

– Restructuring timelines instead of leverage?

Genuinely interested in how people are getting deals across the finish line in 2026
