Model Features:

Dynamic Cash Flow Analysis: With detailed monthly and annual projections, this model computes essential investment metrics to gauge the project's feasibility and potential resale value.

Development-Phase Forecasting: Acknowledging revenue constraints during construction, the model integrates a lease-up forecast that capitalizes construction loan interest, reflecting realistic financial conditions.

S-Curve Construction Budgeting: The model adopts an 's-curve' distribution to simulate construction expenses, allowing for an accurate representation of the initial slow spending, accelerating to peak expenditure as the project progresses.

Debt Options:

The model is designed with four customizable debt financing options to suit various project requirements:

• Construction Loan: This is typically the primary loan used during the construction phase of a project.
• Mezzanine Loan: This is a subordinate loan that is optional and can be utilized for additional financing.
• Permanent Debt: This represents the long-term financing used once the construction phase is completed.
• Refinancing Option: This allows for the restructuring of permanent debt to potentially secure more favorable terms.

Capital Stack Framework:

• Sequential Funding Strategy: Funding draws occur in a tiered approach—equity first, followed by mezzanine debt, if any, and finally, the construction loan, mirroring industry-standard financing structures.
• Mezzanine Loan Structure: This subordinate financing layer is designed to fill funding gaps, with flexible interest payment options linked to operational cash flow and provisions for capitalization of unpaid interest.
• Construction Loan Dynamics: Upon exhaustion of prior funding layers, the construction loan activates with interest treatment options aligned with cash flow realities, ensuring a practical financial plan.
• Permanent Loan Conversion: On transition to permanent financing, outstanding construction, and mezzanine debts are settled, with visual alerts for any funding deficits, ensuring immediate awareness and action.

Equity Waterfall Analysis:

The waterfall distribution function offers users the flexibility to select between two to four tiers for the allocation of capital among limited and general partners. This feature enhances clarity in the articulation of investment returns and the equitable distribution of partnership equity stakes.
