Introduction: How AI is Transforming the Way You Underwrite Deals

Underwriting deals in commercial real estate traditionally requires extensive manual work. Professionals often spend days or even weeks compiling data from various sources. This includes reviewing rent rolls, T-12 statements, and offering memorandums. They manually input data into Excel spreadsheets and then validate numbers against market comparables.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now significantly changing this process. With AI, you can now underwrite deals in minutes with AI, cutting your analysis time from days down to mere minutes. This isn't just faster; it also reduces errors and increases accuracy.

Instead of manually pulling comps and double-checking formulas, AI-driven underwriting software instantly performs these tasks. By automatically extracting numbers from your documents and matching them with current market data, AI streamlines and simplifies your workflow.
