All-in-One (Ai1) Model for Underwriting Development and Acquisitions (Updated Jul 2024)

As many of you recall, in 2015 I set out to build an Excel alternative to the widely-used (and now discontinued) ARGUS DCF. With career moves and a lot of other A.CRE-related side projects, this undertaking has been slow going. Alas, in 2016 I released the first beta-version of the model – my All-in-One (Ai1) Underwriting Tool for Real Estate Development and Acquisition in Excel (catchy name, I know!).

Since that release, I’ve continued to update the model regularly, correcting errors and adding features you, the user, are asking for. The model has been downloaded thousands of times and hundreds of you are actively contributing to continuous and substantive improvements. As I find time and as your suggestions come in, I’ll continue to update the model with the hope that one day, it might have its permanent place in commercial real estate underwriting.

In November 2019, after over 40 updates over two years, we officially removed the beta label from the model. This means that it has received sufficient community feedback and testing that it is largely stable. With that said, the model likely still contains errors and room for improvement. So if you spot something needing changed, please let us know.

So, What’s in the Model?

With all the talk about limitations in Excel, you’d think I’m setting you up for just another back-of-the-envelope acquisition model. But fear not. This is like no model I’ve built before. I set out to build a model that does it all and right now, its pretty dang close! Acquisition, value-add/redevelopment, ground-up development, industrial, office, retail, apartment, student housing, seniors housing, various partnership structures, advanced underwriting modules, tabs that automatically hide/unhide depending on the selections you make, and the list goes on.

Plus I’ll be adding additional modules as I find time (contribute your ideas in the model’s support forum). For example I recently added a robust multifamily module capable of modeling apartment, student housing, and seniors housing deals. In the future will added functionality for mixed-use valuations of any combination of retail, office, industrial, and multifamily uses that you could think of. I also plan to continue to add property-specific analysis sections for each property type using modules we’ve shared on A.CRE.

So let’s have a look at what is included in the model. First, download the model and open it up alongside your browser. Then, read through the ‘Getting Started‘ sections below to get a basic understanding of how the model works. Finally watch the ‘Video Introduction‘ at the end of this post. I’ll be following this post up with model updates and additional training videos and posts.

Friendly Request: If you find errors, have suggestions for how I can improve this model, or have a question about the model, please drop me a note in the All-in-One’s Support Forum and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Summary Tab

*Quick tip: as always the blue font cells are input cells while all others are output cells. However, orange font cells are also used here which are optional input cells with default formulas*

When you open the model, you’ll begin at the ‘Summary’ page. In this tab, you’ll drop in the physical attributes of the property, choose whether to use or not use various modules, enter the project timing and analysis period, and input your valuation assumptions. The summary tab reports a few key risk and return metrics including annual rollover, debt coverage, debt yield, internal rate of return, equity multiple, average cash-on-cash return, among others. The summary page also includes a basic sources and uses table.

To see the rest of the tabs in the model, you’ll need to turn on every module. To do this, in the Summary tab first go to the ‘Include Modules?’ section and set Permanent Financing Module to ‘Yes’. Next, move to the ‘Navigation’ module and set each to ‘Show’. Finally, make the Construction Length under Timing greater than 0 months to turn on the development tab.

Beta version 0.3 includes a Retail Analysis module that can be seen by changing the property type to ‘Retail.’ In subsequent versions, I’ll be adding additional property-type specific modules that will hide/unhide those tabs depending on which property type you select.

In beta version 0.3.3 I added a Residual Land Value module, which can be turned on under the Include Modules? section. This module is only available if the investment is a development/redevelopment project (e.g. Development Length in cell M13 of the Summary tab is greater than 0). To learn more about this module, read and watch the Residual Land Value Calculation Module Walkthrough.

In beta version 0.3.4 I added a ‘Rate Matrix’ concept to determine the base cap rate and base discount rate used for valuation purposes. You can learn more about this module by reading and watching the Rate Matrix Module walkthrough.

Beta version 0.4.0 includes the newly released Multifamily module (apartment, student housing, seniors housing). Toggle on or off the multifamily module in the Include Modules? section by setting the ORI (Office/Retail/Industrial) Module on or off. When the ORI Module is on, the MF Module by default is off and vice versa. Both modules can not be on at the same time.

In beta version 0.4.3, I added a Ground Lease Valuation module. This module gives the user the option to place the ground lease payments below NOI, and reduce the stabilized and residual value of the investment by the present value of the ground lease.

Beta version 0.5.0 adds additional functionality for modeling Student Housing and Seniors Housing investments. No changes were made to the base methodology of the model in modeling these property types, however nomenclature specific to these property types and labels were updated. Also, in the case of Student Housing, ‘Units’ are changed to ‘Beds’ to reflect that leases/rents are per bed, not per unit with this property type.

Beta version 0.5.2 adds a Tenancy Analysis Report for office, retail, and industrial underwriting. The report uses a fully dynamic column chart, an auto-updating PivotTable, and various other sections to help the user analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the rent roll.

In beta version 0.5.3, a drop-down menu on the Summary tab (see lower right-hand corner) was added to turn on/off ‘Print Mode’. Print mode turns all non-black font black to improve the visual appeal of printed reports. An IRR Matrix Report was also added to beta v0.5.3.

In beta version 0.5.4, an After-Tax (Unlevered) Analysis tab was added to the Report section. This tool can be turned on by toggling the drop-down labeled ‘After-Tax Analysis’ under the Include Modules? section of the Summary tab. The After-Tax Analysis module is a duplicate of the After-Tax Cash Flow Model version 1.12 that I built last year. Read how the module is built and watch a video of how to use the After-Tax Analysis Module including what assumptions to model.

Perm. Debt tab (see Permanent Debt walkthrough)

With the ‘Permanent Financing Module’ toggle on the Summary tab set to ‘Yes’, the Perm. Debt tab will be visible. In this tab, you’ll add assumptions for up to two tiers of permanent debt. If the Summary tab includes a construction period (Summary!M10>0 months), then the permanent debt will fund in the stabilization month (Summary!K14) and the construction debt module will be activated. Otherwise, permanent debt will fund in time 0 of the analysis.

All inputs for this tab are entered in column E of the Perm. Debt tab. Assumptions include loan amount, loan fees, fixed interest rate (if variable, enter the average expected rate over the term), amortization period in months, and the number of months the payment is interest-only. Upon entering the inputs, you can see the loan-to-value of both the senior piece (cell D11) and the combined senior plus secondary debt (cell D22) pieces.

In addition to loan-to-value, other outputs on this tab include a detailed amortization schedule for both the senior and secondary loans, loan-to-cost for the senior and the combined loans, amortization and interest-only monthly payments, loan payoff at maturity, among others.

In beta version 0.5.6, an estimated ‘Lender Reserve’ calculation was added to the Perm. Debt tab. Using this tool, the user can estimate lender reserves for debt service, capital expenditures, insurance, and property taxes. The reserve is based on a user-entered number of months (cell D21) and underwritten values for the reserve items.

In beta version 0.7, we added the option to refinance the initial Senior Loan mid-hold. The model now models ‘Senior Debt (Initial)’ as well as a ‘Senior Debt (Refinance)’ permanent loans. If the ‘Payoff Month’ for the ‘Senior Debt (Initial)’ loan (Perm. Debt tab cell E17) is less than the length of the hold period in months (Summary tab cell K6), the assumptions for the ‘Senior Debt (Refinance)’ appear. The second senior loan funds in the same month the initial senior loan pays off, and then is assumed to pay off at the analysis end date.

In beta version 0.71, we added the option to use fixed or variable interest rate debt. Use the drop-down menu for Fixed Interest Rate or Variable Interest Rate under each debt section, and then edit the blue ‘Interest Rate’ row along the right-hand to forecast the interest rate by month.

Reports and Analysis Tabs

As of beta version 0.3, the model includes two report tabs (Equity CF and Property CF) plus one retail analysis tab (tenant rollover, retail sales, occupancy cost, % of NRA, etc). I fully expect to continue to add analysis tabs as I find time and per your suggestions.

The Equity CF tab includes a few minor inputs related to the partnership structure and promote. It is here that you’ll spell out the equity contribution percentage between the sponsor group and the investor group or limited partner(s). Use cell D7 to change between IRR and equity multiple hurdles and cells D18:F20 to detail out the promote. This tab is an adaptation of my equity waterfall model. The Equity CF tab models the waterfall both on an annual basis as well as on a monthly basis.

The Property CF tab includes two basic inputs: whether to cap net operating income or cash flow from operations in determining the residual (terminal) value and the selling costs percentage. Otherwise, the Property CF tab is purely to report the projected annual and monthly cash flow of the investment. The annual cash flow is shown at the top. The monthly cash flow is below the annual cash flow and is defaulted as hidden. To reveal the monthly cash flow, click the + sign located left of row 88.

The optional Sponsor CF tab (activate on the Summary tab under ‘Include Modules?’) allows the user to model a second waterfall (double promote) for situations where the real estate investor raises both LP equity and sponsor equity. In this scenario, the LP would promote the sponsor, and then the equity investors in the sponsor would promote the GP for hitting certain IRR or equity multiple hurdles. Assumptions on the Sponsor CF tab are similar to that of the Equity CF tab. The Sponsor CF tab models the 2nd waterfall both on an annual basis as well as on a monthly basis.

Other report tabs include the Retail Analysis Report, Tenancy Analysis Report, and the IRR Matrix Report.

Operation Section Tabs (MF-OpSt and ORI-OpSt)

Sections are distinguished by their unique color; the first tab in each new section is an empty tab colored slightly darker than its counterparts in the same section and labeled with —> at the end, such as the ‘ORI—>’ tab. The Operation section is the first section after the Reports and Analysis tabs as you move along the tab ribbon from left to right and includes an ORI (Office/Retail/Industrial) section and an MF (Multifamily) section. To reveal the operation section you intend to work with, turn on the Operation Module (either ORI or MF) in cells F29 or F30 of the Summary tab then set cell F36 or F37 to ‘Show’.

The Operation section contains the meat of the underwriting. This section currently is only compatible with industrial, office, retail, and multifamily property types but will be expanded to include other property types such as student housing, senior housing, self-storage, and manufactured housing.

This section includes the ‘ORI-Settings’ and ‘MF-Settings’ tabs where the user can change property type specific settings and nomenclature; the ‘ORI-RR’ and ‘MF-RR’ tabs where the user enters tenant/unit specific inputs; and the ‘ORI-OpSt’ and ‘MF-OpSt’ tabs where the historical operating statements, stabilized pro forma, and residual pro forma are modeled.

The ‘RR’ and the ‘OpSt’ tabs are essential to properly using this model and it is here where you’ll spend the bulk of your time. I’ll follow up this post with videos specific to properly completing these tabs, as there’s not time to go too deep into specifics here. Check out tutorials and walkthroughs of the model.

One wrinkle introduced on the ‘OpSt’ tabs is the orange font cell. These are cells that have default calculations but require the user to review the calculation and adjust the cell accordingly. For instance, cell I7 of the ‘ORI-OpSt’ outputs the”Stabilized Year” and then is used by the model to calculate the stabilized value. There may be instances when you’ll want to change the stabilized year to some other value, in which case you’d manually change cell I7 (an orange font cell) to the year of your choosing.

Note on Limitations in the ORI Module

While the All-in-One is meant to handle more complex lease scenarios and therefore can do a lot of the things that people turn to non-Excel solutions for, it still has Excel-specific limitations that it’s important to be aware of.

First, the ORI module does not support reimbursement of management fees. The complexity of handling the circular nature of reimbursing management fees outweighs the benefit. As a workaround, we’ve included an Admin Fee that when modeled as approximately the same amount as the management fee gets you to approximately the same outcome.

Second, the ORI module is limited to three generations of leases. This is to avoid exceeding Excel’s memory capacity. Given that the max analysis period in the All-in-One is 10 years, and most long-term leases are 3+ years long with downtime between leases, this limitation shouldn’t affect most people. But if your scenario includes leases shorter than three years, you’ll likely need to use a different solution or shorten your analysis period.

Third, the model simplifies calculation of leasing commissions and free rent. Leasing commissions are calculated on the base rent without bumps and free rent is charged at the beginning of the lease (rather than spread over the expected free rent period).

Lastly, the lease reimbursement module in the All-in-One has limitations. While NNN and Gross leases generally model well, when you get into gross modified/base year type leases, the reimbursement amounts are more approximations than an accurate forecast of the reimbursements. This again is due to the limitations of Excel. If you need an exact forecast of future reimbursement cash flows, you’ll need to use a non-Excel solution.

Development Section Tabs

The Development Section immediately follows the Operation section as you move along the tab ribbon from left to right. To turn this section/module on, be sure the Construction Length cell on the summary tab (Summary!M10) is greater than zero. This development section includes a Sources and Uses tab, a Budget tab, and a Gantt chart tab. Only the Sources and Uses and Budget tabs have inputs, with the majority of the inputs coming on the Budget tab.

The development section is a variation of my Construction Draw and Interest Calculation Model. In building that model, I recorded a video tutorial that is likewise relevant here:

Tip: If the development module is turned on, no ‘Acquisition Price’ is set and therefore the sum of the items in the ‘Budget’ tab will be the total cost of acquiring the investment. So, if your project is a value-add investment, you will need to include the cost of purchasing the property in the budget tab plus include the cost of renovation and lease-up. Also note, that the construction loan assumes an interest-only loan through to stabilization after which the parameters set in the Perm. Debt tab are used.

Calculation Tabs

Grey colored tabs are calculation tabs, and are hidden by default unless set to show (cell F35 in the Summary tab). It is in these tabs that the more complex calculations are undertaken. Especially of note is the ‘O-Calc’ tab. It is here that lease cash flows are computed such as future leasing assumptions, expense reimbursement, rollover and leasing costs, contractual and market rent increases, etc.

If you’re to truly become proficient at using this model for your own purposes, I’d suggest digging into each of the calculation tabs to better understand the methodology behind the model.
