Real Estate Finance & Investment

Confident decisions for buying, selling and building property portfolios

Real estate as part of your broader plan

Property can provide income, appreciation, diversification and utility. It can also introduce concentration risk and complexity if not integrated into a wider strategy.

We help you define the role real estate should play in your financial life and evaluate opportunities against that framework.

  • Assessment of current holdings and exposure by region and type
  • Comparison of owning, renting and hybrid approaches
  • Integration of real estate plans with debt and investment strategies
  • Clarity on liquidity, risk and time horizons

Buying a primary residence

Your home is both a financial and lifestyle decision. We help you define affordability, choose financing structures and plan for ownership costs beyond the purchase price.

Total cost of ownership

We model mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, maintenance and upgrades to show the full financial picture of ownership.

Timing and flexibility

We consider career plans, family needs and market conditions to determine how long you may stay and how that affects your choices.

Selling and trading up or down

Changing homes can unlock equity, reduce costs or support a new lifestyle. We help you evaluate the financial and tax implications of selling and buying again.

  • Net‑proceeds analysis after fees, taxes and payoff balances
  • Planning for bridge periods between sale and purchase
  • Evaluation of rent‑vs‑sell decisions for existing properties
  • Coordination with mortgage and investment strategies

Residential investment properties

Rental properties can produce income and long‑term appreciation. We focus on cash flow, risk and realistic assumptions rather than speculative appreciation alone.

Cash‑flow modeling

We incorporate rents, vacancies, maintenance, financing and taxes to evaluate whether an opportunity truly supports your objectives.

Structuring ownership

We discuss entity structures, liability protection and bookkeeping practices that support sustainable, compliant operations.

Commercial real estate

Commercial properties bring different risk, financing and lease structures. We help you navigate them whether you are an owner‑occupier or an investor.

  • Evaluation of lease terms, tenant mix and vacancy risk
  • Financing options including commercial mortgages and lines of credit
  • Scenario planning for economic cycles and interest‑rate changes
  • Integration with business strategy and exit planning

Real estate development and value‑add projects

Construction and renovation projects can create value but also add complexity. We guide you through budgeting, contingency planning and financing considerations.

From concept to completion

We outline cash‑flow timelines, funding sources and risk‑management tools so you enter projects with eyes open and a realistic buffer.

Tax and regulatory considerations

Real estate is heavily influenced by tax rules and local regulations. We help you understand key concepts and coordinate with your tax and legal advisors.

Income, expenses and depreciation

We explain how rental income, operating costs and depreciation interact and how that affects after‑tax returns.

Transactions and transitions

We highlight issues to raise with your advisors around capital gains, exchanges and inheritance planning for property.

Risk management for property owners

Physical assets need protection. We integrate insurance, reserves and legal structures to manage the unique risks of real estate ownership.

  • Coverage reviews for property, liability and business interruption
  • Reserve policies for repairs, vacancies and capital projects
  • Entity and ownership considerations for liability management
  • Alignment of risk policies with your broader financial plan

Portfolio monitoring and rebalancing

As markets and your life evolve, your real estate allocation may need to change. We help you monitor performance and decide when to buy, hold or sell.

Performance dashboards

We track income, expenses, equity growth and returns across properties so you can see how each asset contributes to your goals.

Strategic adjustments

We discuss when to consolidate, diversify into new markets or consider other asset classes.
