DCF and investment return modeling

Run discounted cash flow models, IRR calculations, and sensitivity analyses on potential acquisitions. Test multiple exit cap rate scenarios before committing to underwriting assumptions.

Run a DCF on a retail strip center: $3.4M purchase price, $210K NOI year 1, 3% annual rent escalations, 6.5% exit cap rate, 10-year hold, 65% LTV at 6.8% interest rate.

Levered IRR: 11.4%. Equity multiple: 1.87x. Unlevered IRR: 8.2%. Break-even exit cap rate: 7.9%. At 7.5% exit cap: IRR drops to 9.1%. Recommendation: deal works at current assumptions but has limited margin at compression scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the cap rate data from Real Estate Data?

Real Estate Data aggregates transaction records and listing data from multiple sources. Cap rates are derived from reported NOI and sale prices where available. Always cross-reference with direct broker conversations and appraisals for formal underwriting — the tool is most valuable for directional screening and comp identification.

Can the Financial Calculator handle complex waterfall structures?

The Financial Calculator handles DCF, IRR, NPV, WACC, and standard mortgage amortization. For complex equity waterfall structures with multiple promote tiers, you'll want to supplement with a custom Excel model — but the tool is highly effective for core return metrics and sensitivity analysis.

Is the economic data granular enough for submarket analysis?

Economic Data provides Census demographic and employment data down to the zip code level, plus 800K+ FRED time series. For hyper-local submarket dynamics, combine with the Deep Research tool to pull broker reports, news coverage, and supply pipeline data.

How useful is this for CMBS or construction lending underwriting?

The tools are strong for market research, comp analysis, and borrower entity screening. For formal CMBS underwriting, the data supports the narrative and market sections of the credit memo — combine with your firm's proprietary loan origination system for final credit decisions.
