Dandrew Media’s Commercial Capital Structure Basics Live focuses on commercial real estate financing and the work of intermediaries. It begins with industry fundamentals before moving into capital structures, financing strategies, and deal sourcing. The course connects these subjects with practical decisions involved in evaluating, structuring, and presenting commercial real estate deals.
Capital Structure Basics Live: financing foundations
The introductory material addresses the participants in the commercial real estate industry, its terminology, and typical deal scenarios. This provides context for the financing material rather than treating capital structure as an isolated topic.
Financing & Capital Structures 101 introduces financing strategies and the capital structure hierarchy. For intermediaries assessing the course, this is a central part of its focus: understanding commercial financing alongside the broader process of finding and working on transactions.
From business development to deal analysis
The course covers both sourcing opportunities and deciding how to approach them. Its documented areas include:
- Marketing and business development: where to find deals and practices for developing business.
- Professional deal structuring: real-world brokering case studies used to examine structuring strategies.
- Essential underwriting: due diligence, deal qualification, and the decision to proceed or walk away.
- Lender presentation: techniques for creating a deal and presenting it to a lender.
Case studies and the “Pass or Play” decision
Real-world brokering case studies are a documented teaching method in the deal-structuring material. They give the course a transaction-centered component alongside its introductory terminology and financing coverage.
The underwriting section addresses a separate question: whether a deal should move forward at all. Its “Pass or Play” approach emphasizes qualification and due diligence, including recognizing when to walk away. This distinguishes evaluating an opportunity from simply sourcing one or preparing it for presentation.
Bringing the transaction process together
Capital Structure Basics Live is directed toward commercial real estate intermediaries, including those building a foundation for commercial mortgage work. Its closing material brings the earlier subjects together through deal creation and lender presentation. The emphasis spans business development, analysis, and structuring rather than financing definitions alone.
