SERVICE · INVESTMENT MEMOS

Memos written the way principals read them.

Executive summary first. Risk framework explicit. Sensitivities at the assumptions that actually move the deal.

What We Write

Production lines

Decision memo (hold/sell, refi/hold, JV/sell)

3–4 business days

For the moment a single decision needs to be made.

IC memo / package (acquisition or disposition)

5–7 business days

Full committee package on the sponsor's brand.

IC memo + capital stack + sensitivities

7–10 business days

When the structure is as much the story as the asset.

Portfolio IC (multi-asset)

10 business days

For the deal where the answer isn't on one page.

Lender memo (loan request package)

4 business days

For the credit committee, in their format.

Board-level summary (one-pager + appendix)

3 business days

The version that gets read at 2am.

The Email Discipline

The email is measured. The model is the truth.

We never confuse them.

In the Email

  • Year 1 NOI
  • Going-in cap rate
  • Price per square foot
  • 2–3 Key Risks, plainly stated
  • Pricing Guidance (price + cap only)
  • Subject: deal name + location + cap or ask

Stays in the Model

  • IRR (levered & unlevered)
  • Equity multiple
  • Cash-on-cash by year
  • DSCR by year
  • Leverage / LTV
  • Exit cap

The model is the truth. The email is informational. The buyer gets both — the model in their inbox, the discipline on the page.

Pricing

The Voice

Written in your voice, using your assumptions.

The best IC memos read like the sponsor wrote them. The worst read like a consultant wrote them. The difference is voice — and voice is a craft, not a template. Capistrano writes in your voice, using your assumptions, framing the deal the way you would. The first draft is 80% there because we read your prior memos first.
