Example Output
Example 1: New Deal Analysis
Property: 150,000 SF light industrial building, suburban logistics hub
KEY METRICS:
- Purchase Price: $12M | Asking Cap Rate: 5.2%
- Current NOI: $625K | Debt Service Coverage: 1.8x
- Estimated IRR (5-year hold): 16.2%
MARKET ASSESSMENT: ✓ Submarket vacancy: 4.1% (well below 7% benchmark) — tight supply ✓ Rent growth: +3.2% YoY (above regional 2.1% average) ✓ Strong tenant demand for logistics near port/highway
RISK FACTORS: ⚠ Single tenant (Amazon) = 85% revenue concentration ⚠ Lease expires in 3 years — renewal risk if market softens ✓ No environmental issues on Phase 1 ESA
RECOMMENDATION: BUY — Strong fundamentals and market tailwinds offset tenant concentration. Lock in long-term lease renewal before deal closes.

| Metric | Deal A | Deal B | Deal C | Market Avg |
