CRE Underwriting Services

Fernandes & Company provides outsourced commercial real estate underwriting for sponsors, lenders, brokers, and owners nationwide. Every engagement produces a full pro forma model — NOI, debt sizing, cash flows, returns, capex, scenarios, and sensitivities — delivered in 24–48 hours for most deals, at a flat fee quoted on a complimentary call.

What's Included

What do CRE underwriting services include?

A complete underwrite covers financial modeling (NOI, DSCR, IRR, equity multiple, cash-on-cash), market and rent comp analysis, financing structure (LTV, debt yield, amortization, rate scenarios), operating assumptions, and sensitivity analysis across rent growth, vacancy, exit cap, and interest rate shocks. Deliverables are lender- and LP-ready.

Who It's For

Who uses outsourced underwriting?

  • Sponsors and GPs who need institutional-grade models without a full-time analyst

  • Owners re-underwriting their own portfolio for hold/sell/refi decisions
Why Fernandes & Company

Founded by Mark Fernandes, an investor-operator with 250+ closed transactions and $5B+ in assets underwritten. Analysis built by someone who has sat on your side of the table — not a modeling factory. Most deliverables in 24–48 hours. Beyond analysis, we broker CRE debt, so the underwrite can flow straight into financing.
