E3 Capital Funding Leadership

Edward J. Rakowski

President, E3 Capital Funding, LLC | Commercial Real Estate Financing

Commercial Real Estate Financing Focus

Edward J. Rakowski is President of E3 Capital Funding, LLC. He works with commercial real estate sponsors, developers, investors, and property owners on financing strategies for transactions across the United States.

His work includes hospitality, multifamily, bridge, construction, land and development, mixed-use, commercial DSCR, industrial, student housing, self-storage, data center, and other specialty real estate financing situations.

Transaction-First Approach

Rakowski’s approach begins with the transaction itself: the property, capital stack, sponsor objectives, existing debt, timeline, business plan, and underwriting story. From there, E3 focuses on positioning the financing request clearly and identifying capital structures aligned with the opportunity.

Clients work directly with Edward on transaction strategy, lender positioning, financing materials, underwriting questions, and execution.
