How Chino looks at a Fort White deal
The first question is always whether the numbers work on what the place earns today, not on a story about what it might earn someday. Chino underwrites a Fort White deal on its trailing twelve months, checks that the income covers the loan with room to spare, and looks for one clear lever to improve it, like adding sites, raising under market rents, or filling empty space. If a deal needs everything to go right just to break even, it is not a fit. If it pays for itself from day one and has room to grow, that is the kind of Fort White property he wants to own. The financing is already lined up, so once the numbers check out he can move without a long wait.
