01 The position
Merriman Diversified Commercial reads the asset before the transaction — the building, the tenancy, the numbers, and the risk — so that every next move rests on what the property can actually do.

One property.

Meet Tim05 The first read
Twenty minutes.
Three questions.
Most properties can be read quickly — market data, asset class, and a disciplined look at the downside. The full analysis comes later; the first read decides whether it is worth anyone's time.
01
What should it rent for?
Current market rents by asset type and class, held against what the building actually collects. The spread between those two numbers is usually the story.
02
Why is it priced that way?
Every asking price has a story. When the number sits off the market, the first job is finding out why — before anyone falls in love with the deal.
03
What does worst case look like?
The read starts at the downside: reserves, replacement tenants, the cost of being wrong. A deal that only works in the best case does not work.
