Seven real runs, start to finish

What went in, what came back and what it changed for the desk. Each one is a real run on a building or a package, shown as a sample: addresses, names and identifying details withheld.

01 · Investment firms

A pre-war multifamily, from the address alone (sample)

The question
No seller package yet. Is the building worth a model, and what should the model start from?
What we were given
The address.
What came back
Year 1 NOI of $171,703, a 4.29% going-in cap rate at the last recorded sale, and a 12-sheet workbook with live formulas.
What it changed
The model starts from dated figures, and the desk goes into the first seller call with four questions already written: the unit count (21 or 26), the lien flag, the zoning letter and the recertification.

Engine run 26021. Each case is one real run of the Titleman engine on a Titleman test account; the run number and completion date are under the case. Figures are as the run returned them; addresses and names are withheld.

A 50-unit loft conversion: which part of the NOI the file supports

The question
The broker’s in-place NOI looked rich. Credit needed to know how much of the lift the seller’s own documents support.
What we were given
The broker OM, the January rent roll and the trailing twelve months.
What came back
A lender NOI of $517,544 against the broker’s $614,475, line by line, each figure with its page or cell.
What it changed
The $147,595 a year between the broker’s in-place NOI and the trailing actual is laid out line by line: insurance, maintenance and contract services are cuts the T-12 does not support. How much of it a loan carries stays the credit team’s call.

A fire-damaged retail lot: what may be built, and how much fits

The question
What may legally be built on the lot under today’s rules, and does a redevelopment pencil?
What we were given
The address.
What came back
Floor area ratio binds at 31,500 SF on a 21,000 SF lot; height and setbacks alone would allow 82,000 SF. A test scheme of 26 homes over shops, and a workbook in which the land value moves when an input changes.
What it changed
Capacity is set by floor area, not height: a scheme drawn to the height limit would be about 2.6 times too large (82,000 ÷ 31,500).

04 · Owners and asset managers

A listed 156-unit apartment property: what it is worth today

The question
An owner needs an as-is value, the supportable loan and a refinance-or-sell view on a property listed as 156 apartments.
What we were given
The address.
What came back
The records show 3.24 acres of land and no building standing: the 156 units are a planned project. Value as is: $2,640,000 to $3,000,000, anchored on the site’s recorded sale of $2,639,816 ($16,923 per approved unit) and the asking price of $3,000,000.
What it changed
The listing’s 156 units are caught before anyone builds a model on them. With no rent yet, an income approach cannot carry the value, so the opinion rests on the site, and the owner’s refinance test is run on the finished building, not on today’s.

Engine run 26655, completed 29 Oct 2026. Each case is one real run of the Titleman engine on a Titleman test account; the run number and completion date are under the case. Figures are as the run returned them; addresses and names are withheld.

Three vacant pads, one side-by-side for a drive-thru prototype

The question
A broker’s shortlist of three vacant pads. Which of them fits a 2,800 SF drive-thru with a 12-car stack and 35 stalls, before anyone visits?
What we were given
One typed message: the three pads and the prototype. No files.
What came back
A side-by-side comparison, a live Excel workbook, a site-rules report and a deck in 49 minutes: 161 records and 84 pages read, 94 figures each with its source, 9 red flags and 7 open items.
What it changed
Drainage takes the most land: after the prototype, the building line and the pond, the tightest pad keeps 16,216 SF and the roomiest 25,656 SF. The team walks in knowing which pad the pond decides. The choice of site stays with them.

Engine run 26177, completed 16 Oct 2026. Each case is one real run of the Titleman engine on a Titleman test account; the run number and completion date are under the case. Figures are as the run returned them; addresses and names are withheld.

Six files on their way to committee, every item checked

The question
A development package was going to the investment committee. Do the OM, the model and the memo agree with each other and with the market?
What we were given
Six files: the OM, the deal model, the memo and three more.
What came back
1,788 figures, formulas and statements checked, 876 formulas recomputed by code, 14 cross-file checks: 6 red flags and 46 items to review, marked on a copy of the files, in about 78 minutes.
What it changed
The memo says 74 units per acre, the model says 100. That is caught before committee, together with every figure built on the wrong one.

Engine run 26147. Each case is one real run of the Titleman engine on a Titleman test account; the run number and completion date are under the case. Figures are as the run returned them; addresses and names are withheld.
