The Library

Six templates, six situations

Every one is non-binding and fully editable, with bracketed fields you replace with your deal details. Here's exactly when to reach for each.

01

Standard Multifamily Acquisition

The comprehensive workhorse.

A full non-binding term sheet covering price, earnest money, due diligence, seller deliverables, financing, title, prorations, brokerage, exclusivity, and expiration.

Use it when
  • You're buying a stabilized property and expect negotiation
  • You want every material term on the table up front
  • You need due-diligence and financing contingencies spelled out
Skip it if
  • You need something short and fast, or a light-touch approach
ComprehensiveNon-binding*
02

Concise One-Page

Speed, when it counts.

A clean, scannable offer with just the essential terms — price, deposit, diligence window, financing, closing, and expiration — designed to fit on a single page.

Use it when
  • You're in a competitive or time-sensitive situation
  • You want to move first and look decisive
  • You'll attach a proof-of-funds letter
Skip it if
  • The deal is complex and needs detailed terms up front
One pageNon-binding
03

Seller-Financing / Owner-Carry

When the seller is the bank.

Built around carryback terms — down payment, note amount, interest rate, amortization, balloon, and lien position — with language framing the seller's benefits.

Use it when
  • The seller owns free-and-clear or wants steady income
  • You want to specify rate, amortization, and balloon
  • Installment-sale tax treatment appeals to the seller
Skip it if
  • Your financing is coming from a bank or agency lender
DetailedNon-binding
04

Off-Market Direct-to-Owner

A warm knock on the door.

A low-pressure letter for approaching an owner whose property isn't listed — relationship-first tone, a price range instead of a hard number, and an emphasis on no commissions and a flexible timeline.

Use it when
  • You're going direct, with no broker involved
  • The property isn't for sale and you want to start a conversation
  • A soft, personal approach fits better than a formal offer
Skip it if
  • The property is listed and represented by a broker
Warm letterNon-binding
05

Institutional Term-Sheet

The format brokers expect.

An institutional layout that puts economic terms, transaction terms, and your underwriting assumptions in clean, scannable tables — ideal for negotiated, broker-represented deals.

Use it when
  • You're in a broker-represented, negotiated transaction
  • Counterparties expect a polished, institutional format
  • You want assumptions (occupancy, NOI) stated clearly
Skip it if
  • You're approaching an owner casually, or need brevity
Term-sheet tablesNon-binding*
06

Equity & Debt Joint Venture

Raising capital, not just buying.

An institutional JV term sheet defining the capital stack, distribution waterfall, fees, guarantees, governance, and reporting — for sponsors arranging debt and equity and bringing in LP investors.

Use it when
  • You're co-sponsoring or syndicating a development
  • You need to define classes of equity and a waterfall
  • You're structuring fees, promote, and guarantees
Skip it if
  • It's a straight property purchase, not a capital raise

Four Quick Steps

How to use any template

Each file works the same way, so once you've used one you've used them all.

Fill the blue fields

Every fill-in field appears in bold blue [brackets]. Replace each one with your deal details — they're impossible to miss.

Trim what doesn't fit

Delete any clause that doesn't apply to your deal, such as a no-shop provision the seller won't agree to.

Attach proof of funds

For purchase offers, send a proof-of-funds or pre-approval letter alongside the LOI to be taken seriously.

Have counsel review

These are non-binding starting points. Have a licensed attorney — and a securities advisor for the JV — review before you send.

One library. Every kind of deal.

From a one-page offer to an institutional equity & debt joint venture, the right Letter of Intent is ready the moment your next opportunity appears.
