PROPERTY ACQUISITION LOAN
PACKAGES FOR BORROWERS
Acquisition financing is one of the most common forms of commercial lending and typically involves a lender-drafted loan package that governs the borrower’s obligations throughout the life of the loan. These documents often contain detailed provisions relating to collateral, covenants, guarantees, and lender remedies. Equity Legal provides borrower-side review and negotiation support for property acquisition financing transactions involving Florida collateral. Our packages are designed to ensure that borrowers understand the terms of the loan, identify provisions that may present operational or financial risk, and negotiate revisions where appropriate before closing. Through a structured review and redlining process, we assist borrowers in evaluating the lender’s documentation, addressing key legal and financial issues, and preparing the transaction for closing with clear expectations on both sides.

These borrower-side flat-fee packages are designed to bring structure and predictability to loan document review and negotiation for financing transactions. Instead of placing borrowers into a fully open-ended hourly engagement, these packages provide a defined scope of legal review, two rounds of borrower-side redlines to the lender’s document set, and—depending on the selected tier—dedicated attorney time through the closing process. The packages are built for Florida transactions and are particularly well suited to sponsors, developers, operating companies, and borrowers obtaining financing from private lenders, debt funds, family offices, or institutional lenders who want a predictable legal framework for reviewing and negotiating lender-drafted loan documents. The process is generally as follows:​
​
Step 1: Intake and deal structure review.
Step 2: Review drafts of Lender provided document set.
Step 3: Two consolidated redline revision rounds.
Step 4: Closing support in line with the selected tier.
Step 5: Signature package and closing coordination through the scheduled closing.
