Brokers: see what a buyer’s model finds in your documentCheck your offering memorandum before buyers see it. No verdict, no valuation.

How it works

From the document to the decision.

Underwrite reads the broker file into assumptions. Every return is calculated from those assumptions. You review the memo.

The three steps
  1. 01

    Upload the document

    • PDF, Excel, CSV, or pasted broker text.
    • Price, rents, vacancy, expenses, debt, and tenants fill in where the document states them.
    • Anything left out is marked for you to set.
    • Check each extracted field against the document.
    Start from a file
  2. 02

    Challenge the assumptions

    • Change any value you disagree with.
    • Or replace the worked example with your own assumptions.
    • Returns, coverage, sensitivities, and the verdict update as you type.
    Open the inputs
  3. 03

    Carry the decision into committee

    • Open the memo and see where the Project IRR came from.
    • Walk the return back through its cash flows and assumptions.
    • Export the workbook. The Cayuga Commons memo shows the method and the limits.
    Review the demo memo

Every path leads to the same model, scenarios, workbook and memo.

See the sample IC memo

The Excel workbook is a live model: Cover, Dashboard, Assumptions, Unit Mix, Operating, T12, Sources and Uses, Cash Flow, Debt, Amortization, Returns, Sensitivity, Checks, Truth, and Scope. Blue cells are inputs. Black cells are formulas. Downloading the file is part of Underwrite Core.
