Let’s clear up one of the most misunderstood moments in commercial real estate
👇 When a broker or seller asks for Proof of Funds, most new investors panic.
Here’s what they think it means:
❌ “Show me all your money”
❌ “Prove you’re rich”
❌ “You don’t belong here unless you have cash”
Here’s what it actually means: 👉 “Can this deal realistically get to the finish line?”
In commercial real estate, deals are rarely bought with one person’s cash.
They’re closed with:
• Private investors
• Lenders
• Partnerships
• Creative structures
Your job isn’t to be the money. Your job is to structure the deal and assemble the capital.
Understanding that shift is a huge confidence unlock.
If you’ve ever felt intimidated by that question — you’re not alone.
And it doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
