About this workflow

Real estate underwriting turns property evidence and operating assumptions into a decision. The difficult part is not producing a final return—it is keeping the property facts, comparable-property evidence, renovation scope, financing, income, expenses, and exit assumptions connected so another person can understand how the conclusion was reached.

Start with the property evidence

Begin in the property workspace and verify the subject property’s information before building the model. Review the acquisition assumptions and relevant comps, then separate confirmed facts from estimates. An underwriting result is only as reliable as the inputs behind it.

Build the analysis in sections

The verified ReiSearch Co-Living workflow organizes post-renovation property details, repair and renovation costs, appliances and furnishing, conversion costs, operating revenue and expenses, funding sources, mortgage information, holding costs, and a calculated summary. Keeping those sections beside the property makes it easier to revisit an assumption without rebuilding the deal in a separate spreadsheet.

Use these guides to understand the evidence and assumptions behind a real estate investment decision. Detailed calculator instructions are published only after the corresponding strategy workflow and screenshots are verified.
