Projected upside is not enough. The downside case has to work, too.

In this clip, Hanson Capital explains why every go or no-go decision depends on stress testing the deal. A base case may show an attractive return, but if the downside case points to a meaningful capital loss, the risk is not balanced.

The focus is asymmetric risk: limiting downside exposure while preserving upside potential. That means testing assumptions around releasing time, vacancy, rental rates, cap rates, and market stress scenarios before moving forward.

At Hanson Capital, disciplined underwriting means knowing where the deal breaks before capital is committed.

How Hanson Capital Stress Tests a Real Estate Deal

In this vlog, Hanson Capital previews a discussion on why infill industrial investing requires more than identifying a strong market.

The full article examines how infill locations, tenant demand, replacement cost, leasing fundamentals, and acquisition basis all work together to determine whether an industrial opportunity is actually investable. The core point is that scarcity alone does not create a disciplined investment strategy. The asset still has to be acquired at the right basis, supported by real tenant demand, and operated with execution discipline.

At Hanson Capital, our strategy focuses on infill multi-tenant industrial assets where disciplined management can improve tenant retention, address below-market rents, upgrade the property, and strengthen the durability of the income stream.

Small-Bay Industrial: Why the Overlooked Middle of the Market Deserves Your Attention

A real estate model can look strong until the assumptions behind it are tested.

In this clip, Hanson Capital breaks down several underwriting red flags investors should watch for, including unjustified rent growth, zero vacancy assumptions, understated TI, leasing commission, or CapEx budgets, and aggressive exit cap assumptions.

The key point is simple: no model speaks for itself. Investors should understand how each assumption was built, what data supports it, and what happens when those assumptions change.

At Hanson Capital, disciplined underwriting starts with real market data, conservative assumptions, and the willingness to challenge the numbers before capital is committed.

Underwriting Red Flags Every Investor Should Watch

Capital cost assumptions can make or break a real estate investment.

In this clip, Hanson Capital discusses a McClintock opportunity that initially moved into escrow but changed during due diligence. As the team reviewed renovation costs, make-ready work, and the plan to demise the property into five move-in-ready bays, the capital improvement quotes came back higher than originally anticipated.

Rather than stretch the numbers to force the deal to work, Hanson pushed the seller to reduce the basis and account for the higher cost. When the seller would not adjust, Hanson walked away.

At Hanson Capital, disciplined underwriting means protecting the basis, validating assumptions, and knowing when not to proceed.

Why Hanson Walked Away From the McClintock Deal

The right private real estate relationship is not just about the offering. It is about alignment, expertise, and partnership.

In this short-form clip, an investor shares why Hanson Capital stood out as more than a product provider. For him, the difference came down to specialized experience and the fact that Hanson Capital invests its own capital alongside investors.

When the operator has expertise in the asset class and meaningful capital in the same deal, partnership becomes more than a talking point.

Looking for an Investment Partner, Not a Product? #HansonCapital

Generalist managers often chase whatever sector is popular at the moment.

In this short-form clip, an investor explains why Hanson Capital’s focus on small bay industrial stood out. Rather than investing broadly across every real estate trend, Hanson Capital concentrates on a specialized niche with deep market knowledge, operational experience, and a clear investment thesis.

In private real estate, specialization matters. The stronger the niche, the more important the operator’s discipline, market understanding, and execution capability become.

Why Small Bay Industrial Niche Matters ("Riches in the Niches")

A model is only as strong as its assumptions.

In this Hanson Capital webinar, Chris Hanson, Chris Pike, and Ted Aust discuss why underwriting is not just a spreadsheet. It is a discipline built around the assumptions that drive the model, including rent growth, vacancy and downtime, operating expenses, capital costs, and exit cap rates.

The conversation breaks down how small changes in assumptions can materially affect projected returns, why market rent growth should be supported by live data, and why investors should be cautious when sponsors rely on aggressive rent growth, zero downtime, understated capital costs, or cap rate compression.

The team also discusses sensitivity analysis, stress testing, and the questions limited partners should ask before committing capital. At its core, the message is simple: investors should ask sponsors to show the data behind the assumptions.

At Hanson Capital, we believe disciplined underwriting starts with conservative assumptions, real market data, basis protection, and sponsor alignment.

Webinar: How Pros Underwrite - Rent Growth, Exit Caps, and Being Honest About Asssumptions

Finding an investment partner through social media can raise reasonable questions.

In this short-form clip, an investor shares why discovering Hanson Capital on Instagram initially created hesitation and what helped build trust over time. The difference was not a hard sell. It was a series of direct conversations, clear answers, and visible alignment.

For this investor, one factor stood out: Hanson Capital invests alongside its partners under the same terms. In private real estate, conviction matters more when it comes with capital attached.

The Trust Factor – Finding Hanson Capital on Instagram

In this video, Hanson Capital looks at why real estate investors may need to prepare for interest rates to remain elevated longer than many expected.

A recent Oaktree Capital memo points to persistent inflation, large fiscal deficits, and rising capital demand from areas like AI investment as factors that could keep long-term rates higher. For commercial real estate, that changes the underwriting conversation. Borrowing costs remain elevated, leveraged deals have less room for error, and investment assumptions cannot depend on a quick return to lower financing costs.

At Hanson Capital, we believe a higher-for-longer environment reinforces the importance of durable cash flow, conservative leverage, and disciplined underwriting.
