CREFI’s Deal Inbox captures incoming opportunities directly from broker emails or your own Outlook inbox, automatically parsing deal data and pre-qualifying each opportunity against your investment criteria.
Save 2+ hours per deal on screening. CREFI reads the email, extracts the deal information, and tells you whether it fits your criteria before you spend any time on it.

How It Works

1

Deals arrive via email

Forward broker emails to your CREFI agent email address, or connect your Outlook inbox. CREFI monitors for incoming deal packages.
2

AI parses the deal

CREFI’s agent email AI reads the email and any attachments (offering memos, rent rolls, flyers). It extracts key deal information: property type, location, asking price, unit count, cap rate, and more.
3

Deal is pre-qualified

CREFI compares the extracted data against your stored investment criteria and underwriting assumptions. It generates a fit score and highlights how the deal aligns (or doesn’t) with your targets.
4

Review and act

Deals appear in your inbox with their fit score and extracted data. From there you can:
  • Add promising deals directly to your underwriting workflow
  • Dismiss deals that don’t fit
  • Ask the AI follow-up questions about any deal

What Gets Extracted

CREFI pulls structured data from unstructured broker emails and attachments:

Managing Your Inbox

Allowlist

Control which email addresses can send deals to your CREFI inbox. You can manage your allowlist from Settings > Agent Email.
  • Add broker email addresses you regularly receive deals from
  • Remove addresses to stop receiving deals from a source
  • Email verification ensures only authorized senders can submit deals

Fit Scoring

CREFI scores incoming deals based on criteria you define:
  • Target property types
  • Geographic preferences
  • Price range and deal size
  • Minimum cap rate or return thresholds
  • Property age and condition requirements
Deals that closely match your criteria score higher, helping you quickly identify the opportunities worth your time.

Email Responses

CREFI can also send AI-generated responses back to brokers, acknowledging receipt and requesting additional information if needed. This keeps the deal flow moving even when you’re busy with other work.
