There are multiple real estate modeling platforms available. Some are too expensive, some lack flexibility, some don’t look professional, some cannot be easily shared with others and some provide a week long training course for utilization. We pride ourselves on providing models that strategically address these limitations through the following characteristics:
Microsoft Excel Based: Each model is created and utilized in Microsoft Excel, a software that is owned and understood by 95% of real estate professionals everywhere. This limits training time for model use, makes the sharing of models effortless and provides the user with the ability to alter any model to account for unique deal characteristics.
Presentation: Our models are some of the most professional looking models in the industry. We utilize tables, graphs, charts and much more in an attempt to deliver models that are pleasing to the eye.
Flexibility: When using our models, you will quickly see that we have done our best to provide an input for every possible deal scenario. However, we realize that some deals are very unique and therefore provide a direct input section on each model’s cash flow page to account for these rare circumstances. Also, because our models are Excel based, one can unprotect the non-input cells and make any changes and/or additions desired.
Tailor Made: Alternative to a real estate modeling program that attempts to encompass multiple real estate asset types, our models are tailor made to the asset type being analyzed. This saves a tremendous amount of time as all model inputs, outputs and presentation features are specific to the asset being underwritten.
User Friendly: Our models are friendly to the Senior Analyst and CEO that needs help with summing a few cells in Excel. Description and direction is provided with the selection of each input cell, providing a “learn as you go” education on model use. In addition, each model provides a text overview, input key chart, notes and non-input cell security for those with limited Excel skills.
Affordability: Our models range from $100 to $950 USD. This is a bargain when you consider the amount of time required to build your own.
Audit Capability: Each model has an audit table that will call out any errors and/or abnormal assumptions made.
Scenario Outputs: Most of our models provide returns/profit for alternative scenarios such as exit pricing, income change, expense change, cost change etc. This enables more timely and acute decision making as one can view multiple investment outcomes at once vs. running a separate model for each potential outcome.
