A Better Way To Get Deals Done

Your One-Stop Shop for Real Estate Finance

Foss delivers a full suite of institutional financial solutions, including new deal underwriting, capital markets, asset management modeling, and fund management.

What We Do

Contact

"Foss" is Icelandic for waterfall - signifying the importance of waterfall structuring in real estate proformas.

WHAT WE DO

Your Institutional Finance Arm

Deal Underwriting

From initial underwriting to deal closing, we provide best-in-class modeling and serve as an extension of your deal team. We strive to not only provide models, but also discussion and thought around how to optimize the performance of your deals.

Asset Management Modeling

Once you close your deal, we provide the following ongoing modeling services: updating models for actual activity as it occurs, reforecasting based on changing business plans, and building refinance and sale models as needed during a deal's life. We provide transparency to sponsors and help you know in real time what the impact is of the decisions you make.

Capital Markets

Foss creatively structures full capital stack solutions for institutional sponsors across all real estate types and life cycles. Our vast lender knowledge and relationships have enabled us to customize financing for properties ranging from $10 Million to $500 Million+, including senior debt, mezzanine debt, preferred equity, C-PACE, and JV equity for our sponsors and developers. Our team has closed over $5B of Debt and Equity financings across all commercial real estate types throughout the country.

Fund Management

Rather than hiring an in-house fund management team, we allow you to focus on getting deals done rather than the day-to-day management and operations of your fund. We act as a liaison between the sponsor and all fund service providers to ensure smooth coordination among all processes.

Programs

WHY FOSS?

Flexible, Embedded Financial Support

Institutional Analyst Program

Our solution focuses on providing transparency to sponsors throughout the lifecycle of a project, from initial look through lease up and ultimately to disposition of the asset. We understand that hiring even a first-year analyst can represent a significant amount of overhead and have thoughtfully built a program that gives you institutional expertise at a reduced overhead cost to that first-year analyst. We not only populate proformas, but also guide discussion around major deal points, assumptions, and changes to business plans.

Fund Management Program

Management of a fund is a complex, time consuming process. We take the operational burden of fund management off your plate—so you can focus on acquisitions and asset performance. From day-one setup through audits and distributions, we ensure every detail meets institutional standards.

Why Foss

WHY FOSS

We embed deep expertise into your team.

Proven Track Record

We've underwritten both acquisitions and developments across all major real estate asset classes all across the country. We've worked on deals as small as a few million dollars, and as large as several billion dollars.

Embedded, Not External

We don’t just deliver models and walk away. We act as a true extension of your acquisition and fund management teams, supporting you from underwriting to LP reporting.
