Before you start

Data, sources, and access to prepare

  • A multi-property Offering Memorandum
  • Completed building records
  • Rent roll and operating statement separated by building

Use one model with building ownership

Portfolio financial ownership

The model choice is document-wide, while most rows belong to a building.

Understand the combined summary

  • Gross Potential Rent includes linked tenant and vacancy rent for each building.
  • Explicit vacancy and the document-level vacancy factor both affect Portfolio Financial Summary when configured.
  • Tenant reimbursements and building additional income add to EGI.
  • Building operating expenses subtract from EGI to produce building NOI.
  • Portfolio totals sum all building results after any unlinked pool allocation.
  • Campus mode consolidates the summary to one Total column, while a portfolio keeps per-building columns when space permits.
  • Portfolios with more than six buildings use a transposed layout.
  • The Valuation Summary's Allocated Value Per Property panel splits the asking price by each building's share of gross rent (occupied plus vacant base rent). Expenses are not considered, so buildings with different expense loads end up with different implied cap rates. For 1031, tax, or release-price allocations, use an NOI-based or appraised allocation.

No general Building Selector for legacy financial rows

The current Portfolio-wide income and expense area exposes unlinked rows but does not provide a reassignment selector. Resolve ownership before entry whenever possible and document any unavoidable allocation.

Enter and reconcile by building

Portfolio financial steps

  1. 1

    Complete Buildings first

    Buildings & Properties

    Verify every building name, type, address, and order.

    Expected result: The financial accordions have reliable owners and labels.

    If this step does not work

    Return here before financial entry if a record is missing.

  2. 2

    Choose the shared rent-roll model

    Rent Roll, model selector

    Select the one Cash Flow or Pro Forma and Unit-by-Unit or Unit Mix structure used by the document.

    Expected result: All building accordions use the selected type with property-specific columns.

    If this step does not work

    The model cannot vary by building. Choose the best common representation.

  3. 3

    Open one building rent roll

    Rent Roll building accordions

    Expand the intended building.

    Expected result: The active accordion identifies the building that will own new rows.

    If this step does not work

    Compare the active accordion name before adding data.

  4. 4

    Enter the building rent roll

    Expanded Rent Roll building accordion

    Add only that building’s tenants, vacancies, units, rooms, or pads.

    Expected result: The building summary reconciles and Portfolio Total updates.

    If this step does not work

    Remove a row immediately if it was added under the wrong building.

  5. 5

    Inspect unassigned rent rows

    Rent Roll, unassigned rows warning

    Review every legacy row without building ownership.

    Expected result: Each unassigned row is identified as required or invalid.

    If this step does not work

    Compare uncertain rows with your source before changing them.

  6. 6

    Remove an invalid unassigned row

    Rent Roll, unassigned rows warning

    Delete one row confirmed to be invalid.

    Expected result: The invalid orphan row no longer affects the portfolio.

    If this step does not work

    The current area does not reassign rows. Re-enter required data under the correct building instead of deleting it.

  7. 7

    Enter building statements

    Income & Expenses building accordions

    Add additional income and expenses for each building in the displayed model columns.

    Expected result: Building statement totals reconcile.

    If this step does not work

    Expect a newly added expense category to appear as zero in sibling buildings. Complete or leave intentional zero values.

    Income and Expenses workspace for a multi-property document and its combined analysis.
    Enter property-level financial data and verify the combined portfolio statement without inventing unsupported building selectors.
  8. 8

    Review Portfolio-wide rows

    Income & Expenses, Portfolio-wide

    Compare every unlinked income and expense row with your source.

    Expected result: Any final allocation is intentional and documented.

    If this step does not work

    There is no current reassignment control. Re-enter under buildings and remove the unlinked row only when safe.

  9. 9

    Verify the combined analysis

    Valuation and Review & Customize

    Compare building totals, Portfolio Total, vacancy, EGI, expenses, and NOI across wizard and output.

    Expected result: The combined model reconciles.

    If this step does not work

    Trace the first difference to a building row or legacy allocation.

Resolve portfolio financial issues

Different buildings need different rent-roll types

Likely cause: The current type is document-wide.

  1. Choose the common model that best fits the deliverable.
  2. Use property-specific labels within each accordion.
  3. Explain exceptions in notes.
A row is unassigned

Likely cause: It may be legacy document-level data or created before the building model existed.

  1. Identify its correct owner from source data.
  2. Re-enter it under the building if necessary.
  3. Remove the unlinked row only after verifying totals.
A portfolio total differs from the sum expected

Likely cause: Unlinked rows, explicit vacancy, or the vacancy-factor assumption may be included.

  1. Check Portfolio-wide rows.
  2. Check vacancy records by building.
  3. Check the document vacancy factor.
  4. Recalculate EGI and NOI.

Portfolio model ready

  • One shared type accepted
  • Every building roster reconciled
  • Every building statement reconciled
  • Unassigned rows explained
  • Portfolio-wide rows explained
  • Portfolio Total NOI checked
