Every commercial deal has a gap between the pro forma and reality.
The Deal Room Check helps surface assumption gaps, missing evidence and the questions that deserve verification before your next commercial real estate conversation.
CCIM-Guided·Commercial + Multifamily·Dallas–Fort Worth
The pro forma is the beginning of the conversation. Not the end.
Every deal depends on assumptions — about income, concessions, expenses, financing, occupancy, capital improvements, market conditions and exit scenarios. The Deal Room Check traces those assumptions back to the evidence supporting them, then flags where verification is still needed.
This Is
- A structured deal-assumption diagnostic for commercial real estate buyers
- A decision-readiness snapshot measuring assumption dependencies
- A practical framework to organize your diligence checklist and questions
- An invitation to a CCIM-guided deal room strategy consultation
This Is Not
- Formal underwriting or an appraisal report
- Legal, tax, securities, or individualized investment advice
- A buy or do-not-buy recommendation or guarantee of future returns
- An endorsement, verification, or approval of any seller pro forma
Seven dimensions of deal clarity.
Each dimension is scored on how much of the story is currently supported by evidence versus dependent on assumptions. The result is a clarity snapshot — not a judgment of investment merit.
Evidence Quality
T-12, rent roll, tax and insurance verification, physical condition, and market support beyond the OM.
Income Assumptions
Occupancy gains, rent growth, vacancy and collection loss, and dependence on new other income.
Operating Expenses
Verified operating history, post-sale tax reset, insurance quotes, and normalized operating costs.
Debt & Liquidity
Financing terms, DSCR cushion, stress-testing, reserves, and refinance dependence.
Market Conditions
Submarket evidence, competitive supply, demand concentration, and exit comparables.
Physical & Due Diligence
Inspection status, deferred maintenance, major systems, and title/zoning/environmental review.
Exit & Execution
Exit cap sensitivity, timing dependence, renovation/lease-up timeline, and contingency.
Built for principals evaluating a commercial real estate decision.
The Deal Room Check is designed for buyers, owners and advisors who want a disciplined view of where their deal story is supported — and where it still depends on assumptions.
Commercial Buyers
Evaluating an identified commercial property and organizing diligence questions before committing.
Multifamily Buyers
Assessing occupancy, rent growth, and expense assumptions in a multifamily acquisition.
Property Owners
Reviewing assumptions behind a held asset or a potential recapitalization decision.
Business Owners Evaluating Real Estate
Assessing a property for owner-occupied use and the assumptions behind the plan.
Executives & High-Income Professionals
Seeking a disciplined, analytical view of a commercial deal before allocating capital.
Experienced Investors Seeking a Second Set of Eyes
Wanting a structured framework to stress-test assumptions already reviewed.
Sellers: This diagnostic is designed for buyers evaluating a property. If you are considering selling, we can take you through the JMD Property Strategy Review instead.

What investors and clients say about working with JMD.
We met Meetu at a networking event and realized through our initial conversation that she is an expert in her field. Through years of experience in commercial real estate, she has refined analytical skills, attention to detail and integrity to her mission. This focus on achieving her goals is driven by her passion of sharing her wealth of knowledge to help others achieve theirs. This is what we experienced through our first passive investment with her. From preliminary discussions about the investment, we could see her belief in the project and are extremely happy we joined her. She has always been transparent, honest and quick to respond to our questions. It is this combination of values that are important to us and we wish Meetu the very best of luck with all her endeavors and we look forward to partnering with her again in the future.

We did talk quite a bit before I invested with you. I have worked with many real estate investment companies and sponsors, and the experiences range from 'Terrible! Will never work with this person again!' to 'This is great! When is your next deal?' You are definitely in the second category. My experience with you reinforced my strategy and belief that it's more important to choose the right sponsor and operator for a real estate investment than the property itself. I'm glad I didn't miss out on the chance to know and work with you.

My son Robert and I had never participated in a real estate syndication investment before meeting Meetu. This was all new to us, and she stepped up, helped us find the path forward, and pushed us to achieve higher results than we expected. She is very experienced and knowledgeable with incredible follow-through on every project. Meetu guided us through our first investment and our first win! 5 years later, we are so grateful to have met her.
