Open toolWhat is commercial real estate underwriting?
Underwriting in CRE means testing whether a deal works under your assumptions. You enter purchase price, rent, vacancy, operating expenses, and financing, then review NOI, cap rate, debt service coverage (DSCR), cash-on-cash return, and IRR. CREflow’s free underwriting calculator replaces fragile spreadsheets for quick screening and shareable reports.
What is a CRE pro forma?
A pro forma is a forward-looking operating statement — typically 5–10 years of projected revenue, vacancy loss, reimbursements, expenses, and NOI. Buyers use an investment pro forma to model hold-period cash flow. Listing brokers often publish a seller or OM-style pro forma to show marketed performance. Use the CRE pro forma generator to build either view and share a read-only report.
What is an offering memorandum (OM)?
An offering memorandum (also called a CRE OM or investment memo) is the broker’s marketing package for a listing: photos, rent roll, T-12 or trailing NOI, asking price, and property narrative. Instead of retyping OM data, use OM upload & import to extract fields, review confidence badges, and pre-fill underwriting.
