Introducing Relm Reports.

Building the model

What is the 10-year pro-forma?

A 10-year NOI build-up, capital plan, and debt-service schedule with every assumption traceable to a source or marked as your override.

The Relm Pro pro-forma is a 10-year financial projection of the property's operating performance, capital needs, and debt-service profile. It's what the Financial section card on every property generates.

Structure

The pro-forma is laid out as a stack of standard line items running across Year 1 through Year 10:

  1. Income — Gross Potential Rent, Other Income, Vacancy & Concessions → Effective Gross Income.
  2. Operating Expenses — Taxes, Insurance, Utilities, Repairs & Maintenance, Payroll, Marketing, Management Fee → Total OpEx.
  3. NOI — Effective Gross Income minus OpEx.
  4. Capital Items — Capex, Tenant Improvements, Leasing Commissions, one-time inflows.
  5. Debt Service — Principal + Interest on the modeled loan(s).
  6. Net Cash Flow (NCF)NOI + Capital Items - Debt Service.

A separate panel shows the assumptions driving the model (rent growth, expense growth, vacancy, exit cap rate, debt terms) and a return summary (IRR, equity multiple, DSCR).

What makes it AI-generated

Each line item is built from a combination of:

  • Your uploads — the rent roll feeds GPR; a P&L feeds expense baselines; an OM contributes context.
  • Public data — taxes from the Taxes section, insurance benchmarks from the asset class and submarket.
  • Submarket benchmarks — for line items where uploads or public data are thin, Relm uses asset-class- and submarket-specific benchmarks (rent growth, expense ratios, vacancy).
  • Explicit assumptions — the rest. Each assumption carries a rationale and is overridable.

You'll see citation chips and assumption badges on individual cells so you can tell which is which.

NCF formula

NCF = NOI + Capital Items - Debt Service

This is the line you use for IRR / equity multiple math. See Net Cash Flow (NCF) formula.

Generating the model

From the Financial section subpage, click Generate Pro-Forma. Each generation costs one credit on Self-Serve (3/month, banks up to 12). Enterprise is unlimited. See Pro-forma credits.

Generation takes 7–20 minutes. While it runs, a progress display in the section shows which agent is at work.

What the pro-forma is not

  • Not an underwriting committee deck. It's the model; you decorate it.
  • Not an investor IRR waterfall. It models the property; the structure that pays out to LPs is downstream.
  • Not a forever model. Beyond Year 10, you're projecting noise. Use the exit-cap and Year-10 NOI to build terminal value.

If you need a polished investor-ready deliverable for a high-stakes deal, the Relm Report is the human-reviewed version.
