Commercial Real Estate Underwriting

Before you buy the deal,
know where it breaks.

Ironclad is the underwriting platform for CRE investors — analyze rent rolls, trailing financials, debt, taxes, renovations, and investor returns, then stress-test the downside before you commit capital.

Ironclad dashboard — returns, deal structure, and capital stack
The Problem

Deals don't fail in the spreadsheet.
They fail in the assumptions.

Rent

Optimistic rent assumptions nobody pressure-tested.

Expenses

Wrong expense resets and a phantom 40% ratio.

Debt

Proceeds that don't survive a stress scenario.

Waterfall

A promote structure nobody can actually explain.

Operations

Business plans that break the day ops begin.

The Platform

One platform for disciplined deal analysis.

Everything you'd rebuild in a fragile spreadsheet — structured, defensible, and stress-tested.

01

Import & organize

Rent roll, trailing financials, offering-memo notes, and key assumptions in one place.

02

Build the capital stack

Senior debt, supplemental loans, preferred and common equity, sponsor fees.

03

Stress-test the deal

Rent growth, vacancy, expenses, exit cap, refinance, DSCR, break-even points.

04

Explain the deal

Export lender- and investor-ready outputs without rebuilding in Excel.

Use Cases

Built for how investors actually underwrite.

Quick deal screening

First-pass go/no-go in minutes, not hours.

Full acquisition underwriting

End-to-end model with defensible assumptions.

Debt sizing & loan comparison

Compare structures and size to DSCR/LTV.

Renovation & lease-up

Model capex, downtime, and rent premiums.

Waterfall & promote

Tiered returns investors can follow.

Asset-management reforecasting

Re-underwrite against actuals mid-hold.

Proof

Built by an operator, not a template vendor.
