Deal Killers™
Real estate deals BREAK when risk goes unchecked.
Deal Killers™ helps LPs, family offices, and capital partners identify structural, underwriting, and feasibility risk, including market fit, before assumptions become obligations.Led by experience. Focused on capital protection.
Why We Exist
Capital deserves better risk scrutiny.Every deal carries risk. The real question is whether it is understood — and whether it is priced.Too often, equity is committed on the strength of assumptions that have not been challenged: lease-up pacing, rent premiums, cost contingencies, and exit timing that do not reflect execution realities.Deal Killers™ exists to give capital partners a clear, unbiased view of the full risk picture — before funds are deployed.We deliver investor-aligned underwriting reviews grounded in real-world execution. With over $1 billion in real estate development and acquisitions behind us, we understand how underwriting gets stretched, where structures fail, and what gets overlooked when momentum overrides discipline.Our work isolates structural, financial, and operational risk with clarity, context, and impact. We prioritize the issues that affect outcomes and deliver decision-ready insight to help investment committees, family offices, and co-investors protect capital and allocate with conviction.In today’s market, capital discipline is not optional. Deal Killers™ provides real scrutiny. Clear outcomes. Risk clarity for capital partners with zero margin for error.
What We Do
Deal Killers™ provides independent, execution-informed risk reviews for real estate investments under active consideration.We exist to help capital partners reduce capital exposure by surfacing financial, structural, and market-fit risks before capital is committed.We assess sponsor-led opportunities from the perspective of a developer and capital partner — testing the assumptions that drive projected returns and identifying the structural, financial, and feasibility risks that can quietly erode performance.
Our reviews include a focused analysis of:
‣ Construction budgets and contingency coverage
‣ Lease-up pacing and absorption assumptions
‣ Rent growth, comp integrity, and market depth
‣ Operating margins, staffing costs, and management risk
‣ Capital structure, rate sensitivity, and exit viability
As an independent risk advisor, we deliver risk insight forged through real capital deployment, helping capital partners make sharper, more defensible decisions.We isolate the pressure points that matter most and return a decision-ready risk memo — clear, prioritized, and built to inform investment committee outcomes.
