Best multifamily valuation model

[Jordan Northrup]

Hi everyone, I've been struggling to find a good multifamily valuation model. I've heard mixed reviews for some of the online valuation platforms. I've also got two models from A.CRE - the apartment value add model and the All-in-One model. These two look very comprehensive, but they're incredibly complicated, at least to me. I'm spending more time trying to understand and interpret all of the variables and inputs than I am in analyzing the deals I have on my desk.

Does anyone have experience with the A.CRE models and if so, could I get a tutorial? If not A.CRE, which ones do you like? Looking for any help you can provide. Thanks all!

Hey Jordan, 

just a helpful note! I am using A.CRE retail underwriting tool. He has videos on YouTube. He doesn't necessarily go into the nuance of mill rates on every video but breaks down how to use it. Not perfect but very helpful. Whenever I don't know something on the underwriting spreadsheet, I just go google it. It helps me learn more, see and understand things better.

Hope it helps,

Sam
