Download Free for Windows
Built by a CPA with Big 4 fund-audit experience
Underwrite the capital stack.<br>Not the Excel that breaks it.
Offline, deterministic underwriting for ground-up development, S-curve construction draws, and LP/GP waterfalls, built for developers, acquisition analysts, and active LPs who verify the math themselves.

What this is NOT
✕A project management tool — no Gantt charts, no task boards, no milestone tracking
✕Enterprise software — no implementation team, no training program, no onboarding calls
✕Excel with hidden formula chains, circular references, and silent cascading errors
✕Argus — no rent roll, no lease abstraction, no $5,000/yr contract
✕A cloud platform where your confidential deal data lives on someone else's server
What it IS
✓One screen. Type your numbers. The full capital stack solves itself — instantly.
✓Open it, enter a deal, done — zero setup, zero learning curve, zero configuration
✓Every output traces to an input you typed — no hidden logic, no black-box surprises
✓Purpose-built for LP/GP waterfall mechanics, capital calls, and promote structures
✓100% local. Nothing leaves your machine. Your deal data is yours.

Excel Model vs. Local Engine
The Excel Model
CREDevSim Engine
Circular References<br>One bad formula reference cascades through a dozen linked tabs, and nobody catches the wrong IRR until the LP meeting.
Deterministic, Logic-Locked Engine<br>No formula chains to break. The same inputs always produce the same outputs, with hard-coded underwriting logic instead of overridable cells.
Recalculation Lag<br>Shift the exit cap rate and wait while a bloated workbook grinds through thousands of linked cells before the model catches up.
Instant Local Execution<br>The full capital stack, waterfall, and exit proceeds recalculate the moment you change an assumption, running entirely on your machine.
Manual Draw Schedules<br>Construction draws get built cell-by-cell, with the S-curve timing hand-plotted and easy to misalign with the actual budget.
S-Curve Draw Simulator<br>Bridge-to-perm draws follow a modeled S-curve automatically, tied to your construction timeline and interest carry.
Ad Hoc Waterfall Tabs<br>Promote tiers and catch-up provisions live in a side tab that quietly drifts from the actual LP/GP agreement.
Tier-Based Waterfall Engine<br>Preferred return, GP catch-up, and promote tiers are structured the way a Big 4 fund auditor would build and test them.
Core Capabilities
One Engine, Every Deal Type
Ground-Up Development, Major Renovation, Distressed Value-Add, Stabilized Acquisition — the engine applies the correct institutional logic for each structure automatically. No templates to swap, no sheets to reconfigure.
Real-Time Visual Dashboard
Drag the timeline, adjust a rate, toggle leverage — every waterfall block, heatmap cell, and Sankey diagram updates instantly as live financial telemetry. See the deal break before it does, without re-running a macro.
Deterministic, Logic-Locked Engine
The same inputs always produce the same outputs, with no Monte Carlo variance sitting between your assumptions and the number an LP sees. The engine enforces hard-coded underwriting standards and makes assumptions and validation flags visible: no circular references, no cross-sheet drift, no formula overrides that bypass the debt constraints.
What's Under the Hood
• Bridge-to-Perm Structure: S-curve construction draw simulator, interest carry, bridge payoff, refi mechanics
• Automated Capital Stack: LP/GP split, debt sizing, DSCR / LTV / Debt Yield gates
• Operating Waterfall: preferred return accrual, ROC, monthly residual distributions
• Exit Waterfall: sale price, loan payoff, remaining pref, GP catch-up, promote
• Lease-Up Ramp: occupancy S-curve, current → stabilized over user-defined months
• IRR Sensitivity Heatmap: blended rate & exit cap target matrix
• Stress & Breakeven: real-time margin-of-safety testing
• Capital Calls: automatic when refi or NOI surplus can't cover shortfalls
