SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Underwriting a multifamily acquisition requires building a 5-year pro forma, stress-testing assumptions across dozens of scenarios, and synthesizing everything into an investment committee memo — a slow, error-prone manual process. This Skill orchestrates three specialist underwriting workflows with built-in formulas, benchmarks, and quality checks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Financial Model Builder: Constructs a 5-year pro forma (GPR to NOI to cash flow) and calculates IRR, equity multiple, cash-on-cash, DSCR, cap rate, and debt yield with threshold pass/fail verdicts. - Scenario Analyst: Runs a 27-scenario matrix varying rent growth, expense growth, and exit cap rate, producing probability-weighted returns, stress test results, and sensitivity rankings. - IC Memo Writer: Compiles an 11-section investment committee memorandum with risk assessment, appendices, and a PASS/FAIL/CONDITIONAL recommendation. - Use Case: An acquisitions analyst with rent roll, OpEx, and inspection data for a 200-unit property uses the suite to produce the base case model, stress-test it, and deliver a complete IC memo with a go/no-go recommendation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a 5-year pro forma and investment committee memo for a multifamily acquisition using your rent roll, expense, and deal term data.

Frequently Asked Questions about CRE Underwriting

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a 5-year pro forma for a multifamily acquisition?▼

Provide rent roll data, operating expenses, inspection findings, market data, and deal terms. The Financial Model Builder constructs the income waterfall from gross potential rent through NOI, projects years 2-5 with growth assumptions, and calculates debt service and return metrics.

How do I stress-test a real estate deal with scenario analysis?▼

The Scenario Analyst runs 27 permutations varying rent growth, expense growth, and exit cap rate across downside, base, and upside states. It outputs probability-weighted IRR and equity multiple, stress test failures, and a sensitivity ranking of which variable most impacts returns.

What return metrics does multifamily underwriting calculate?▼

The suite calculates in-place and stabilized cap rate, DSCR, cash-on-cash, debt yield, 5-year IRR, and equity multiple. Each metric is compared against investment thresholds with PASS, FAIL, or MARGINAL status flags.

What data is required to underwrite a multifamily property?▼

Required inputs include rent roll with in-place rents and occupancy, operating expense line items, physical inspection CapEx schedule, market rents and vacancy, and deal terms such as purchase price, LTV, interest rate, and exit cap rate. Missing data triggers conservative benchmark-based fallbacks with uncertainty flags.

What happens when underwriting data is missing or incomplete?▼

The skill notes the gap explicitly, substitutes conservative industry benchmarks from its knowledge bases, and marks every estimated value in uncertainty_flags. Analysis continues with a reduced confidence score of MEDIUM or LOW rather than stopping.

When should I not rely on this underwriting analysis?▼

Results carry LOW confidence when multiple due diligence sources are missing or significant assumptions are required. Negative NOI, DSCR below 0.80, or unresolved environmental and title issues are flagged as critical dealbreakers requiring human review.
