Commercial Real Estate Underwriting, Powered by AI
ARGUS assumes you have an analyst. A spreadsheet assumes you have a week. DealWise does the same institutional-grade underwriting from the documents you already have — reading the leases, building the schedule, and ending with a verdict you can defend to a lender.
Why We Built DealWise AI
Commercial real estate underwriting shouldn't require a six-figure analyst or a 40-tab spreadsheet.
The Problem with Traditional CRE Underwriting
Evaluating a commercial real estate deal has always been a time-intensive, error-prone process. Brokers and investors spend hours building custom Excel models for every property — manually entering rent rolls, calculating net operating income, projecting cash flows, and stress-testing assumptions across lease expirations, tenant improvements, and financing structures.
For smaller firms and independent investors, the barrier to institutional-quality deal analysis has been the cost and complexity of legacy underwriting software. Many commercial property professionals still rely on fragmented spreadsheets, back-of-the-napkin math, or expensive platforms designed for large institutional funds.
A Smarter Approach to Deal Analysis
DealWise AI was created to democratize commercial real estate underwriting. We believe that every investor and broker — whether analyzing their first industrial warehouse or their hundredth multitenant office building — deserves access to the same caliber of financial analysis that institutional firms use to evaluate billions in commercial property acquisitions.
Our platform automates the entire underwriting workflow: from rent roll management and operating expense modeling to multi-year cash flow projections, cap rate analysis, and AI-generated investment memos. What used to take hours now takes minutes — with fewer errors and deeper insights.

How Commercial Real Estate Underwriting Works on DealWise AI
From Property Details to Investment Decision
Commercial real estate underwriting begins with understanding a property’s financial fundamentals. On DealWise AI, you start by entering the deal basics: purchase price, property square footage, asset class, loan terms, and operating expenses like property taxes, insurance, and CAM charges.
Next, you build out the rent roll — adding individual suites with tenant names, lease types (NNN, gross, or modified gross), lease commencement and expiration dates, and rental rates. DealWise automatically creates monthly rental period records and calculates in-place gross rent, net rent, and annual rent per square foot for each suite.
Projections & AI Insights
When you’re ready, trigger the AI analysis. DealWise AI reviews your entire deal — property details, rent roll, cash flow schedule, tenant roster, CapEx items, and any uploaded lease documents or financials — then produces a comprehensive investment memo with red flags, valuation commentary, and a clear recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is commercial real estate underwriting software?
Commercial real estate underwriting software is a digital platform that automates the financial analysis of commercial property investments. It replaces manual spreadsheet work by calculating key metrics — including net operating income (NOI), cap rates, debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), and multi-year cash flow projections — based on a property's rent roll, operating expenses, and financing structure. DealWise AI takes this further by adding artificial intelligence that generates institutional-quality investment analysis from your deal data.
What types of commercial properties can I analyze?
DealWise AI supports underwriting across all major commercial real estate asset classes, including industrial properties, retail centers, and office buildings. The platform handles NNN, gross, and modified gross lease structures, multi-tenant rent rolls, and property-specific details like clear height and dock loading for industrial assets.
How does AI-powered deal analysis work?
When you run an AI analysis on DealWise, our engine reviews your complete deal data set: property details, rent roll with individual suite terms, cash flow projections, and CapEx plans. It then generates a detailed investment memo that includes a deal summary, risk assessment, lease analysis, valuation commentary, and a buy/hold/pass recommendation — similar to what an institutional analyst would produce.
Is DealWise AI free to use?
DealWise AI offers a free plan that includes one active deal with full underwriting capabilities and one AI-powered analysis. Acquisition Underwriting unlocks unlimited deals, unlimited AI analyses, and advanced features for commercial real estate professionals who need to evaluate multiple investment opportunities.
How is DealWise AI different from Excel-based underwriting?
Spreadsheet-based commercial real estate underwriting is error-prone, time-consuming, and difficult to scale. DealWise AI automates the calculations, maintains data integrity across your rent roll and financial projections, and adds AI-generated analysis that no spreadsheet can provide. Changes to a single input — like a lease expiration date or rent escalation — automatically cascade through your entire model, from monthly cash flows to exit value.
