Our Process

Learn Our Process

Crownex Capital runs a clear, repeatable process designed to reduce risk, protect timelines, and deliver predictable outcomes.

From first review to closing and execution, we prioritize discipline, speed, and transparent communication.

Our approach is built on 25+ years of construction and real-world execution experience—so we don't just "analyze" deals, we plan them like builders and operators.

1

Deal Intake & Fit Check

We start by confirming whether the opportunity matches our investment focus and execution model.

What we review first:

  • Property type + location
  • Business plan (stabilize, reposition, convert, or redevelop)
  • Current occupancy / income
  • Asking price and timeline
  • Photos, rent roll, and any available due diligence

Outcome: quick "yes / no / need more info" so no one wastes time.

2

Initial Underwriting

(Numbers + Reality)

We run a fast but disciplined analysis to determine feasibility and downside protection.

We evaluate:

Basis relative to market and replacement cost
Renovation scope assumptions (based on real execution)
Rent comps, demand, and absorption
Expense reality (not best-case)
Multiple exit options (stabilize, refinance, sell, convert)

Outcome: a clear price range and path forward.

3

Walkthrough & Scope Validation

If the deal is a fit, we validate the physical asset and confirm the real scope.

We look for:

  • Structural and system risks (roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing)
  • Deferred maintenance and code concerns
  • Layout efficiency and conversion feasibility (when applicable)
  • Safety, access, and condition factors that impact cost/time

Outcome: scope confidence and fewer surprises after closing.

4

Offer & Deal Structuring

We present a clean offer with clear timelines and terms.

Our offers prioritize:

Straightforward terms and clear next steps
Earnest money and diligence aligned with deal complexity
Flexibility where appropriate (seller timeline, occupancy, access)
A process that's professional and easy to close

Outcome: clarity and certainty for sellers and brokers.

5

Due Diligence & Closing

Once under contract, we move quickly to confirm all critical items.

Typical diligence includes:

Title and lien review
Lease verification / estoppels (if applicable)
Financial validation (income/expenses)
Insurance and risk review
Zoning / use verification (especially for mixed-use or conversion)
Environmental screening when relevant

Outcome: clean closing with minimal friction.

6

Execution Plan

(Budget + Timeline + Control)

Before we swing a hammer, we lock the plan.

We finalize:

  • Scope of work and priorities
  • Renovation budget with contingency
  • Contractor/trade scheduling and sequencing
  • Materials strategy and lead times
  • Timeline milestones with accountability

Outcome: predictable execution and fewer delays.

7

Stabilize, Improve, and Optimize

We stabilize performance and improve the asset based on the plan.

Depending on the deal, this may include:

  • Unit turns / upgrades
  • Exterior and common area improvements
  • Safety and compliance upgrades
  • Leasing and tenant-quality improvements
  • Expense cleanup and operational systems

Outcome: improved NOI and stronger asset quality.

8

Exit Strategy

(Planned From Day One)

We choose the best outcome based on market conditions and performance.

Possible exits:

Stabilize and hold for cash flow
Refinance after improvements
Sell once value is realized
Execute conversion/redevelopment (when it's the best path)

Outcome: a measured exit based on performance—not emotion.
