CREFI can generate comprehensive investment memos directly from your deal data, underwriting, and market research. What used to take days of writing and formatting now takes minutes.
Save 5+ hours per memo. CREFI drafts professional memos based on your actual deal data, not generic templates.

How It Works

The memo workflow is accessible from the deal details page. When you initiate a memo, CREFI guides you through a few choices and then generates the document.

Configuration Options

Select which sections to include in the memo:
  • Executive Summary — Investment thesis, key highlights, and recommendation
  • Property Overview — Physical description, location, unit mix, and condition
  • Market Analysis — Submarket trends, demographics, supply pipeline, and competitive positioning
  • Financial Analysis — Income and expense analysis, returns projections, sensitivity analysis
  • Recommendations — Risk factors, mitigants, and investment recommendation
Choose how detailed the memo should be:
  • High-level — Executive briefing with key metrics and conclusions
  • Detailed — Standard investment memo with supporting data and analysis
  • Comprehensive — Full deep-dive with extensive market data, multiple scenarios, and detailed risk assessment
Optionally include a comparable property analysis section. This pulls in any comps you’ve added to the deal and presents a side-by-side comparison.

What CREFI Uses to Write the Memo

The AI draws from everything in your deal:
  • Property details and photos
  • Uploaded financial documents (T-12s, rent rolls)
  • Your underwriting assumptions and model outputs
  • Market data from integrated sources
  • Comparable property data
  • Insights from your prior conversations
This means the memo reflects your actual analysis, not generic boilerplate.

Customization

After CREFI generates the memo, it appears as an editable text artifact in the sidebar. You can:
  • Edit any section directly in the rich text editor
  • Ask the AI to revise specific sections (“make the executive summary more concise” or “add more detail on the supply pipeline”)
  • Adjust tone and format for different audiences (internal deal review vs. LP capital raise vs. offering memorandum)
