The DLS 3X Growth Process
The 3X Growth Process is a 4-step method used by commercial real estate operators to close deals 3X bigger than they have to-date.
Litmus Testing
"Litmus Testing" helps operators "look the part" of highly seasoned real estate professionals. We identify weaknesses in their business plans, bios, and operations, and outline a strategic plan to mitigate these issues.
Objection Smoothing
Knowing your business plan “in general" is not the same as knowing the plan of execution, and knowing how you intend to mitigate all of the risks. We help you get this right so you get faster lender responses, increased lender interest, and fewer lender rejections.
Loan De-Risking
Lenders want to fund deals, but Sponsors need to make sure the details of their loan offers are as attractive as the preliminary loan quote. The Loan De-Risking Process generates better financing terms and/or improved loan pricing.
Fact Filtering
"Fact Filtering" makes sure you don't overshare or say anything that can get your loan offer pulled. In this regard, our clients call us the "cheat code". We help you identify the right what, when, where, and how to communicate your loan and project details to each lender.
Close Deals 3X Bigger Than Last Year.
Be more efficient with your time and position yourself for exponential vs incremental growth. If you do, this time next year you could find yourself…
- Having doubled your cumulative AUM.
- Substantially increased business revenue (via acquisition fees, asset management fees, etc).
- Achieving better risk-adjusted returns through economies of scale and/or moving up in asset quality.
