The Property Set Up section on the Executive Summary is where you can enter basic property information.
 Property Name
Enter a unique name for the property. This should also be the name that you use when you first save the file.
| |
 Property Address
Enter the address of the property here. This information is exported to the business plan.
| |
 Property Type
Use the drop down menu to choose the property type. The choice you make here will not affect the model. It is for information purposes only and the data is exported to the business plan.

 Rentable Square Feet
Enter the number of rentable square feet for the property. The model relies upon this entry to perform many of the calculations. If you do not know the square footage, make an educated guess and refine the number at a later date. If you do not make an entry for square feet, the model will not return $ per sf calculations. This information is exported to many parts of the model.
The Rentable square feet is the total number of square feet that will be leased to tenants, as opposed to Usable square feet, which is the total number of square feet that a tenant will be able to occupy. For example, an office building may have two 5,000 sf suites, and a total of 12,000 sf of building area (including hallways, elevators and common areas). In this instance, you will be entering the 12,000, even though the tenants will only be able to utilize the 10,000 sf.
| |
 Number of Units
Enter the total number of units in this property. The model performs many calculations based upon this entry.
| |
 Land Area
Enter the land area here. This entry is for information purposes and is exported to the business plan. No calculations are performed with this entry.
| |
 Month Analysis begins
This is a very important entry, as the model uses this data to perform the first year proration calculations. If for example, you were to enter 5 as the starting month as in the example above, the model will calculate 8 months of income and expense calculations for the first year of the analysis. Perhaps this isn't intuitive, but if you stop to think about it - this entry would include the 5th month of the year, and the remaining 7 months - equaling 8 months.

 Year Analysis Begins
Enter the year that this analysis begins.
