Multifamily

Multifamily underwriting software built around the T12 and the rent roll

Import the financials the seller actually sent, normalize them into an operating model, and carry them through debt, growth and exit across the whole hold — with every assumption visible and editable.

Multifamily underwriting is the process of turning an apartment property’s actual income and expenses into a forward-looking model of cash flow, debt service and exit value, so you can decide what the property is worth to you. In DealWorthIt that means importing a T12 and rent roll, reconciling them against the unit mix, applying vacancy, loss-to-lease and operating expenses, layering financing, and projecting the hold to an exit — rather than rebuilding a spreadsheet for every deal.

Inputs and outputs

What you put in, and what comes out

Every figure below is an input on the multifamily workflow or a metric it computes. Assumptions stay visible and editable — including the ones read from an imported document.

Key inputs

  • Purchase price and the offer you are testing
  • Unit mix and rent roll — in-place rents, occupancy, loss to lease
  • T12 operating statement, mapped line by line into the model
  • Other income: RUBS, parking, laundry, fees
  • Operating expenses, including a replacement-reserve treatment you choose
  • Debt: loan-to-value, interest rate, amortization, interest-only period
  • Growth, inflation and exit-cap assumptions across the hold

Analysis outputs

  • NOI and pro forma cash flow, year by year across the hold
  • Cap rate on your price and on the price the debt supports
  • DSCR and debt yield
  • Cash-on-cash return
  • IRR and equity multiple
  • Suggested offer price
  • Sensitivity grid — returns across rate and exit-cap movement
Workflow

What the multifamily workflow does

T12 and rent roll import

Upload the operating statement and rent roll and DealWorthIt maps the rows into model line items — gross potential rent, vacancy, other income, controllable and non-controllable expenses — flagging the ones that need a human decision rather than silently bucketing them. Nothing is locked: every mapped figure stays editable, because an imported number you cannot argue with is worse than one you typed. Document import is a Gold and Diamond feature.

Pro forma projections across the hold

Project rent and expense growth, inflation, lease-up ramp, reserves, exit NOI basis and exit cap over the hold period, and see the cash flow and the equity position in each year. Pro forma projections are a Gold and Diamond feature.

Forced appreciation and value-add

Model what a renovation, a rent bump, a fee rollout or an expense reduction does to NOI, and therefore to value at exit — as an explicit scenario you can defend, not an optimistic input buried in the base case.

Syndication waterfall and investor splits

Model the capital stack, preferred return, promote tiers and LP/GP distributions on the same deal you underwrote, so the investor economics and the property economics never live in two different files.

Scenario comparison

Save alternative versions of the same deal — a different price, rate, rent assumption or exit — and put them side by side. Silver includes 3 scenarios per deal, Gold 10, Diamond unlimited; side-by-side comparison is a Gold and Diamond feature.

Questions

Multifamily analysis, answered

You underwrite a multifamily property by rebuilding its income and expenses from evidence, then projecting them forward. Start from the rent roll for in-place income and the T12 for actual operating expenses; adjust for vacancy, loss to lease and any expense the buyer will incur that the seller did not; that gives you NOI. Apply your financing to get debt service, cash flow and DSCR, then project growth and an exit cap across the hold to get IRR and equity multiple. The offer follows from the number the debt and your return target support — not from the asking price.

A T12 — trailing twelve months — is the property’s actual income and expenses for the last twelve months, month by month. It is the closest thing to evidence a seller provides, which is why it is the starting point for underwriting rather than the pro forma the broker attaches beside it. Reading it means checking whether expenses are complete, whether income is one-off or recurring, and whether the twelve months shown are representative.

Requirements vary by lender, loan program and market, so DealWorthIt does not publish a threshold as fact. What the model does is compute DSCR from your own inputs, so you can test 1.20×, 1.25× or a lender’s stated minimum against the same deal — change the price, the rate or the leverage and watch what each does to coverage and to cash flow before a lender runs the same numbers.

Yes. Import is a shortcut, not a prerequisite. You can enter the unit mix and rents directly and build the expense side from your own assumptions — which is the normal case for an off-market property where no operating statement exists yet.
