Model Structure and Key Sections

Dashboard
An intuitive dashboard provides a high-level overview of the investment, displaying key performance indicators (KPIs) such as rental income, cash reserve, financial debt, EBITDA, occupancy, gross yield, net yield, and valuation metrics. Charts and summary tables allow for quick decision-making and presentation-ready outputs.

Assumptions Section
All core model inputs are centralized in a dedicated assumptions section. This includes general property assumptions, timeline settings, inflation rates, growth rates, and other key drivers required to run the model. Clear formatting ensures transparency and ease of use.

Tenant Roster & Leasing Assumptions
This section captures detailed tenant-level assumptions, including tenant type, leased area, rental rates, lease start and end dates, escalation terms, vacancy assumptions, and renewals. The tenant roster automatically calculates rental income for each tenant and aggregates total rental revenues over the projection period.

Operating Expenses (OPEX)
The expense sheet models all operating costs associated with the property, such as property management fees, maintenance, utilities, insurance, taxes, and other operating expenses. Expenses can be modeled as fixed amounts, percentages of income, or indexed growth rates.

Fixed Asset Schedule (CAPEX & Depreciation)
This section tracks capital expenditures related to the property, including initial investment and ongoing capital improvements. It also calculates depreciation based on selected methods and useful lives, fully integrating depreciation into the financial statements.

Debt Schedule
The debt module models financing assumptions, including loan drawdowns, interest rates, repayment schedules, amortization, and outstanding balances. Interest expense and principal repayments flow seamlessly into the financial statements and cash flow analysis.

Financial Statements
The model automatically generates fully integrated:

Profit & Loss Statement
Balance Sheet
Cash Flow Statement

All statements are dynamically linked to assumptions, tenant income, expenses, CAPEX, and financing, ensuring consistency and accuracy.

DCF Valuation
A discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation module calculates the present value of projected cash flows and the terminal value of the property. Users can adjust discount rates, exit cap rates, and valuation assumptions to perform sensitivity analysis.

Metrics & Ratios
Key investment metrics such as debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), gross yield, net yield, unlevered yield, and rental income per unit area leased are calculated automatically to support investment decision-making.

Charts & Visuals
A dedicated charts section provides visual representations of revenue, expenses, cash flows, and valuation outputs, enhancing clarity and presentation quality.

Instructions Section
A user-friendly instructions sheet guides users through the model structure, input methodology, and key assumptions, making the template accessible to both beginners and advanced users.
