A more innovative and transparent
approach to commercial real estate
investor reporting

Commercial real estate investing involves many moving parts, and boosting returns requires harnessing greater efficiencies and gaining deeper insights. Detailed reporting functions help investors drill down into key metrics so that variables impacting the bottom line can be adjusted on the fly if necessary. This type of transparency can be difficult to achieve through manual processes or a number of separate apps that interface poorly - or not at all.

Why having a solid data analytics
foundation matters

Data at your fingertips

In the digital age, analytics are key to making sound investment decisions. With information at your fingertips from anywhere at any time, AppFolio makes it simpler to call up the critical data components needed to support the status quo or a change in investment strategy. In short, you want to view real-time data from as many angles as possible.

Streamlined performance insights

To illustrate, you may have access to a portfolio view that gives a snapshot of investment performance at some given point in time. Reports cobbled together from various sources may include historical data that does not reflect current cash flows and market conditions. Having a reporting function that allows access to the most current data by leveraging AI-driven insights and applying that in-depth knowledge to the decision-making process will make all the difference.

Dive deep into ROI

Summary views of investment performance tell the tale from a high level, and snapshots alone won't tell the whole story. To fine-tune investment performance, A technology platform like AppFolio is capable of offering a more granular perspective of vital financials such as income statements and balance sheets. Reports include links that launch a deeper dive into the factors that impact ROI. Having clean and accurate data under one roof allows for more transparency and better outcomes for investors.

How to make waterfall distributions simple and fast

You'll need to commit a significant amount of time and resources toward pulling information from many sources and piecing it all together on spreadsheets for timely and accurate payments.

Increase efficiencies and mitigate risks
through automation

Reduce the dependency on spreadsheets

Until end-to-end solutions were developed, spreadsheets helped real estate management companies record and track rents, common area maintenance fees, and expenses that would ultimately form the basis for investment reports. AppFolio allows direct entry of metrics into the platform for greater efficiencies and a decrease in the incidences of double entries.

Eliminate manual errors

Internal development of formulas, macros, and pivot tables in spreadsheets increase the odds of human error via manual data entry. AppFolio assists in removing the technical burden from designated personnel or the cost of outsourcing for said services.
