You open a new deal and the first hour goes to model setup. Tabs, timelines, sign conventions, and a dozen small choices that have little to do with whether the deal works. That setup cost is easy to miss, but it piles up across a pipeline. It also creates drift when each model starts from a slightly different template. Underwriting ~10 min to run Build a Dynamic DCF Model in Excel Vic prompt Use Vic to build a dynamic multi-year DCF model in Excel for a commercial real estate deal. Purpose A human analyst takes about 60 minutes to build this model. CRE Agents completes it in about 10 minutes so you can move directly to scenario analysis. Inputs Property Type Optional Model Type Optional Levered Optional Hold Period Years Optional Deal Inputs Optional Outputs A ready-to-fill .xlsx DCF model with formulas for unlevered and levered cash flows, reversion, IRR, equity multiple, DSCR, and debt yield. Time saved Turns roughly an hour of manual work into about ten minutes. How it works Run it with a simple command: "Use Vic to build a dynamic multi-year DCF model in Excel for a commercial real estate deal." Add specifics like property type, hold period, or a levered view if you want. If you skip them, Vic still builds a workable structure from what you provide. The output is a ready-to-fill .xlsx file with a clear timeline from Year 0 through the hold. It includes an investment section, line-item operating statements, and a reversion section. Formulas are in place for net unlevered and net levered cash flow, so you are not wiring calculations cell by cell. The returns panel is built. You get IRR and equity multiple, plus DSCR and debt yield when leverage is included. The model follows standard underwriting logic, with a loan amortization schedule and links that tie operating performance to both unlevered and levered results. What matters is what you do next. With the structure set, you move straight to inputs and scenarios. Drop in rent and expense assumptions, adjust timing, and test exit views without chasing broken links. If you change the hold or toggle leverage, you edit a consistent model instead of rebuilding it. This is for acquisition analysts, underwriters, and investment managers who review deals all week. It removes the repetitive build step and keeps output consistent across a team. The model is not a black box. It is a clean Excel file with formulas you can inspect, modify, and extend. A human build takes about 60 minutes. Vic finishes in about 10. The real gain is throughput with the same rigor, and more time spent on judgment instead of setup.
