While the All-in-One is meant to handle more complex lease scenarios and therefore can do a lot of the things that people turn to non-Excel solutions for, it still has Excel-specific limitations that it’s important to be aware of.

First, the ORI module does not support reimbursement of management fees. The complexity of handling the circular nature of reimbursing management fees outweighs the benefit. As a workaround, we’ve included an Admin Fee that when modeled as approximately the same amount as the management fee gets you to approximately the same outcome.

Second, the ORI module is limited to three generations of leases. This is to avoid exceeding Excel’s memory capacity. Given that the max analysis period in the All-in-One is 10 years, and most long-term leases are 3+ years long with downtime between leases, this limitation shouldn’t affect most people. But if your scenario includes leases shorter than three years, you’ll likely need to use a different solution or shorten your analysis period.

Finally, the lease reimbursement module in the All-in-One has limitations. While NNN and Gross leases generally model well, when you get into gross modified/base year type leases, the reimbursement amounts or more approximations that an accurate forecast of the reimbursements. This again is due to the limitations of Excel. If you need an exact forecast of future reimbursement cash flows, you’ll need to use a non-Excel solution.

I noticed that the Ai1 model does not have the option to put the value of the property manually. Only by DCF or Cap Rate.

The All-in-One is fully dynamic to hold period. So when you put in five years, the cash flow figured into the analysis will be from time 0 through the end of year five. The reports may also show a year six since year six NOI in a five-year hold is used to calculate the reversion value (i.e. sale value at the end of the hold period). But year six is otherwise not figured into the returns.

In terms of manually entering a value in the All-in-One. The model has two primary purposes: 1) as a valuation tool, in which case the value is a result of your analysis or 2) as a tool to assess returns (i.e. for acquisition purposes generally), in which case you’ll need to manually enter a value/price for year zero.

To toggle between the two, either select ‘Valuation’ in cell M27 of the Summary tab or ‘Acquisition’ in cell M27 of the Summary tab. When Valuation is selected, the value resulting from the analysis is shown as an output in cell M28 of the Summary tab. When Acquisition is selected, M28 becomes an input (i.e. blue font cell) that you adjust depending on the target price.

Annual returns on a construction scenario, where there is almost all negative cash flow in the earlier periods, are not very accurate. This has to do with the return calculation only considering one period per year (i.e. it only uses the net of an entire year’s cash flow as of the last day of that year), in a situation where the cash flow in the earlier years is highly volatile.

The monthly cash flow and returns will provide the more accurate answer, and in fact, Spencer discourages even considering the annual figures on construction scenarios; hence the reason he hid the IRR Matrix when the development module is turned on.

To your second question. The drop-down should be the year of stabilization. So in the case of a core acquisition, year 1. In the case of a value-add or development, some year out into the future. Spencer made the cell an optional input (i.e. orange font), with a default formula that attempts to estimate the first stabilized year.

The IRR Matrix is still part of v0.81. However, Spencer opted to have the tab be automatically be hidden when the Development module is turned on. The reason he made this change is that he discourages using annual return metrics on opportunistic and value-add investments, and instead recommends monthly return metrics. This is due to the high volatility of the cash flows in the earlier years, which is not properly accounted for in annualized returns. Since the IRR Matrix only shows annual returns, he chose to have that tab hide when the Development module is turned on.

 

With that said, if you’d like to access the IRR Matrix, you can find it as a hidden tab. Simply hover your mouse over any of the tabs along the bottom of the Excel window, right-click and select ‘Unhide’, and then find the IRR Matrix tab in the list.

The methodology for analyzing a for-sale Condo Development and for-sale Townhome development is virtually the same. You can learn how to use the model here:

The first is to use the Development Module, which assumes short-term debt (i.e. construction financing) to get the property to stabilization and accounts for all project costs in the Sources table on the Summary tab. The second, which is simpler, does not use the Development Module and instead CapEx is modeled in the operating cash flow. The downside to this option, is that debt is not necessarily used to fund the value-add project costs and the Sources on the Summary tab are only for the acquisition (i.e. time zero). However, total equity required is tracked on the ‘Equity CF’ tab (cell D13) when using the second option.

Currently, the ‘Make Ready’ formula in the Stabilized pro forma on the MF-OpSt tab takes the actual Make Ready costs from the first stabilized year, which value is driven by the Make Ready assumptions in columns AL and AM of the MF-RR tab . That may not always be the underwriter’s intention, so Spencer left the cell as an optional input.
