Whether it's your first deal or your fiftieth, having a reliable framework helps you reduce risk and maximize returns. In this walkthrough video, we break down how to evaluate a CRE deal from start to finish using real numbers and proven methods.
🔍 Why CRE Deal Analysis Matters
Investing in commercial property is a big commitment. Before you pull the trigger on a purchase or partnership, a deep-dive analysis helps you:
Forecast cash flow and ROI
Evaluate risk-adjusted returns
Compare multiple property options
Identify red flags and deal killers
📈 The 6-Step Process for Analyzing a Commercial Real Estate Deal
Here’s a simplified breakdown of what we cover in the video walkthrough:
1. Understand the Asset Type
Is it retail, multifamily, industrial, or office? Each comes with different metrics and risk profiles.
2. Gather Income and Expense Data
Look at actual rent rolls, tenant lease agreements, and operating expenses to calculate Net Operating Income (NOI).
3. Calculate Cap Rate and Compare to Market
Use the formula:
🧮 Cap Rate = NOI ÷ Purchase Price
Then compare it to local market comps to ensure it’s in line.
4. Run a Cash-on-Cash Return
Take into account your down payment, financing, and projected income. This shows how much return you're getting on your invested cash.
5. Perform a Sensitivity Analysis
Model scenarios like vacancy increases or rent decreases to understand potential risks.
6. Plan Your Exit Strategy
Whether it's a refinance, 1031 exchange, or long-term hold—have your endgame in mind from the start.
