Template structure
- Separate tabs for in-place operations and stabilized operations.
- NOI normalization support for one-time and recurring adjustments.
- Debt-sizing outputs for DSCR, debt yield, and leverage constraints.
- Sensitivity grids for occupancy, rent growth, and expense pressure.
- Refinance and disposition scenario checks across hold-period assumptions.
Modeling standards
- Tie every major line item to T12, rent roll, market evidence, or operating plans.
- Document assumption sources for lender review.
- Keep audit-ready backup tabs alongside presentation outputs.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overstating rent growth without submarket-specific support.
- Underestimating insurance, taxes, payroll, and replacement reserves.
- Sizing debt from one metric instead of multiple lender constraints.
- Ignoring extension and refinance assumptions on transitional deals.
Implementation workflow
- Import T12 and rent-roll data; complete NOI normalization first.
- Set base case assumptions and run debt sizing across lender constraints.
- Build downside scenarios and identify breakpoints before quote requests.
- Package outputs for lender discussions with clear assumption commentary.
