What software do CRE acquisitions analysts use?
Most analysts rely on a disconnected stack: Excel for underwriting models, email and PDF attachments for OMs, Dealpath or a spreadsheet for pipeline tracking, and a PowerPoint template rebuilt for every IC. AcquiOS replaces most of this stack with an integrated platform covering OM extraction, deal scoring, assumption validation, due diligence tracking, and IC deck generation in one place.
How does AcquiOS help with deal sourcing and screening?
AcquiOS ingests deals directly from email. Forwarding a broker OM creates the deal record automatically and scores it with AcquiScore: a 0-to-100 rating with a PROCEED or CAUTION recommendation based on your team's specific investment criteria. Every inbound deal is evaluated against the buy box before an analyst opens the attachment.
Does AcquiOS replace Excel for underwriting?
No, and that is by design. AcquiOS works with your existing Excel underwriting template. It extracts T-12 data, rent roll figures, and key assumptions from the OM and populates your model automatically, preserving your formulas, formatting, and structure. Your IRR calculations run on your numbers, not ours.
How does AcquiOS help avoid duplicate outreach on deals?
AcquiOS maintains a searchable deal registry that captures every property your team has screened. Before reaching out to a broker or owner, analysts can check whether the property was previously underwritten, who was the contact, what the prior outcome was, and whether the team passed or was outbid. Institutional memory no longer leaves when an analyst does.
Can AcquiOS validate the assumptions in a broker OM?
Yes. The Assumption Validation feature cross-references broker rent and expense inputs against market comparables and comparable sales data. Any assumption that diverges materially from market evidence is flagged before your model runs, so you start with a realistic picture rather than the broker's best-case scenario.
Does AcquiOS help with IC presentations?
Yes. The IC Memo and Deck Creation feature generates investment committee presentations in your existing PowerPoint template, populated with deal metrics, an AI-generated investment thesis, and the AcquiScore recommendation. IRR recalculates live during the meeting as the committee asks questions and adjusts assumptions.
